you talk like that loss takes away anything good he did here.........

The UAB loss was as bad as it gets and certainly is the low of the lows since 2000. Nick is a great college coach. One would have to be sports mentally challenged to deny that fact. Thing is, the Nick of today is not the same Nick who coached here in the early 2000's and the SEC he had to deal with is not the same SEC Miles is dealing with. You would have to be equally sports mentally challenged to deny that fact.

As much as I enjoyed Nick's effort here, he didn't put LSU on his shoulders and walk us though gator infested waters on his own. He had lots of help. GN laid a foundation that Nick was able to build on. A new president understand the importance of a solid football program for all of LSU. The TAF stepped it up and gave Nick and the new president just bout anything they wanted.

As to the powerhouse stuff, I don't think 1 NC to go along with Nicks other 4 yrs. here made LSU a national powerhouse. I do think when you go 56-10 with 2 NCs in the 5 yr. period from 03 to 07 you can start talking nation powerhouse.
