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.

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).

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.

Its the most successful 10 year stretch in lsu history.

) 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

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.

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.

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.
