How long are we going to live on the past? Mack Brown had a great tenure at UT if you take his overall accomplishment and record. But it was the last 4 years in the program that got him fired.

Les's overall accomplishments and record are incredible there is no denying it. But the last 3 years show a decline slow death by a thousand cuts. There is also no denying it, if you take the last 3 years we are definitely in a decline. Now can Les turn it around, absolutely with the talent on the team right now with a year of experience and hopefully other than the seniors we are going to lose we don't have as much turnover as the past 2 years we should be in good shape. Let's see how he does.

With the talent coming back next year, defense should be extremely strong, rushing attack potent, skill positions a year of experience under their belts if we don't go to Atlanta then it is seriously time to figure out if the man running the program is the right man for the job.

This " decline" argument assumes "all else equal".. which of course is NOT true.

The rise of Auburn in 2010 and 2013 and both Ole Miss and MSU this year, for example.

Stack Miles' past 3 years vs Hugh Freeze and past 6 vs Mullins. Stack Miles vs Auburn for the 10 year period or Tubby, Chezik and Malzan separately. The ONLY place his record is not equal or better is vs Saban... and NO BODY IN THE COUNTRY stacks up favorably vs Saban. Miles has the BEST results there too...albeit now 3-7. Still no other coach (SEC west) has beaten Saban TWICE...and Miles has done it 3 times. Another 3 were LSU leads in the 4th quarter.

Bottom line.. the difference is RAZOR THIN.

LSU is in good shape and the credit goes to Miles.
