Why do people still even use this excuse? Have you not been properly notified about the amount of games played today against how many games were usually played?


Les Miles has been guaranteed 13 games every season his entire time at LSU. Nick Saban was the only other coach to get that many games, and he only got that many games 2 out of his 5 years. No other coach before Les Miles was able to coach 13 games a season.


Why is this significant you ask? Because it clearly shows Les Miles has far more opportunities to win 10 games each season, and more opportunities than any coach ever in the history of LSU. In fact, every coach at every school is getting these opportunities as well, so its neither unique or special in the present day, but it gives him a very big advantage amongst former LSU coaches in terms of the amount of wins.


Charlie McClendon coached 134 games his first 11 years at LSU.

Les Miles after the bowl game will have coached 144 games at LSU his first 11 years.


That's 10 more games. McClendon finished with 9 wins in 5 seasons, including a season in which he finished 9-1 in 1969, and even received no bowl game invitation.


SO stfu about the 10 wins bullshite. He's received at least 3 absolute gimmes every season.
