Very good coaches win a lot of games over a long period of time and are considered to be of legendary status by most of their fan base (Beamer, Lavell Edwards, Jim Mora Sr., Hayden Frye, Bo, Les Miles, many more). The great ones and true legends win national championshipS!!!!!!!!
I read your post and had to question whether or not Les had ever won a National Championship.
Nega-whatevers tend to criticize Miles supporters for moving the goalpost, but the same can be said of their group.
In 2008 and 2009, the narrative was that Miles would never have a season with less than two losses. Hell, I believe Maximus had a signature that said he would never post again if Miles ever won the SEC championship again. Then 2010 and 2011 happened, and those criticizers somehow grew in strength and numbers. It is mind-blowing.

No need to point out your reading comprehension difficulties. I referred to Miles winning another national championship, and national championshipS...plural. Not to mention that at least one of the coaches I compared him to also won a national championship.
If you had an open mind and spent less time criticizing and wanting to label everyone who doesn't hold Miles in the absolute highest esteem a negatiger, you would realize I compared him to his idol and only successful coaches. Another to include would be Don James.
The point being that if he ends his career with several more years of good records but no more national titles, he will be remembered by all outside of LSU as a very good coach, but nothing approaching legendary. Much like Lavell Edwards, Don James, Phil Fulmer and the others I mentioned. However, if he wins another NC, he will be viewed by all much differently.
