With the win over Mississippi State in 2013, Miles became the quickest LSU coach to reach 90 victories, doing so in 112 games.

Charlie McClendon is one of the more popular coaches in the history of LSU football after spending 18 years with the Tigers and posting winning seasons in 16 of those years. However, it took McClendon 124 games to reach that 90-win milestone. It was a different era, but once again, we’re just looking at the numbers.

With 10 or more wins seven times at LSU, Miles joined an elite SEC club that just a select few are a part of. Bear Bryant (13 at Alabama), Steve Spurrier (9 at Florida), Philip Fulmer (9 at Tennessee), Mark Richt (8 at Georgia) and Vince Dooley (7 at Georgia) are the only other coaches in SEC history to have seven or more 10-win seasons at the same school.

More facts supporting Miles’ success includes the fact that he is the only coach in LSU history to beat Auburn, Florida and Alabama in the same season, and he’s done it three times in 2005, ’07 and ’11. He also has 15 wins over coaches who have won national titles.

With a 95-24 record, Miles ranks second in LSU history, just 43 wins away from overtaking McClendon as the all-time winningest coach. One BCS National Championship skin on the wall in 2007 and his team played for another title in '11.

So, while he has some who question his clock management skills or some of the decisions he has made on the sideline, there should not be any question on how much success Miles has brought to LSU entering his 10th year in Baton Rouge.
