Miles tenure has been tye most successful 10 year stretch in lsu history. Since he was hired no program has been ranked in the top 25 more weeks.no program has beaten more ranked teams. Only lsu fans would be unhappy with a coach that has a top 5 win % in sec history and the #1 ooc win% in sec history.

1) He's been at LSU for 10 years. I'd hope he'd have a ton of wins against top 25 teams, and I'd also wonder how many of those top 25 finished in the top 25. He beat a top 10 Auburn team in 2008, but that team finished unranked.

2) No offense, but # of wins is a bit misleading when teams have 13-14 games a season almost guaranteed now compared to 11 before. Hell, there are teams that were 9-2 back in the day that didn't go to bowls, so harping on that success is a bit silly.

3) In 5 years, Saban achieved the same hardware as Miles has basically in 10 year and achieved it with a 1-loss team winning a title, not a two loss team.

4) OOC is great when you ignore his OOC losses to PSU, Clemson, and Notre Dame because apparently bowl games (which counted when Les was 4-0 in them from 2005-2008) don't really count anymore.

5) Les took over a national championship level team talent-wise when he got here. No other coach took over a team in the shape Les did in the SEC in likely the past 50 years. So I'd hope he'd be successful.

Your reading comprehension sucks or you're deliberately stupid. Allegedly, LSU as coached by Les Miles has more ranked wins than any other program during the same time frame.

Highest winning pct. of any LSU coach who lasted more than 2 seasons.

He also achieved it with a 3-loss team winning a title, not a two loss

Yeah, blame Les for Penn State and Notre Dame, not the mulch they played on and the lame duck defensive coordinator....

It's funny because you know you're wrong, so you hedge your bet by saying that it's only "likely" that no other coach inherited such a strong team. FYI, Paul Bryant stopped coaching only 32 years ago.

2 straight years isn't that big of a deal, so please stop acting like it was something equivalent to FSU's top 10 streak.

Its been 3 years.

Miles took over a 3 loss team that had loss less than 3 games in a season 3 times in 30 years.
Nick Saban took over a program coming off of back to back 10 win seasons and full of future nfl players and lost 4 games(2000),3 games (2001),5 games(2002),1 game(2003),3 games (2004).

Its the most successful 10 year stretch in lsu history.

This myth that winning 10 games every year is easy is bullshite. From 2009-2013 only 4 programs won 9 games each year. (Lsu, bama, oregonn nebraska) so no its not easy to win 10 games every year.

Every program and coach in cfb comes up short when measured against Saban.

Are you fricking serious? Only LSU fans would shite on our coaches great accomplishment of having the best ooc win % in sec history.
Miles has wins over Oregon, ohio state,va tech, west va (twice),miami ( top 10), arizona, arizona st, oregon state,tcu,washington (twice) and wisky.
