Do you want Miles, or can LSU do better?

Just curious.
A lot of fans of LSU opponents (myself included) were glad to see Miles staying at LSU. I think that Miles is a mediocre coach and that LSU could do much better.

What do the majority of LSU fans think?

i want him 100%. we all thought we could do better than Saban when he left and we got Miles. I'm not that unrealistic to think that we'd land a better coach if he left.

i just wish that lsu fans would let Miles handle the situation and stop trying to force the situation. I'd much rather have a coach that somebody wants at the end of every year, than have a coach that nobody wants.

I like him, though I admit he had to grow on me. We could possibly do better, but I'm not sure who that is that's realistic right now. Long as he doesn't pull a Dinardo and pick bad assts., I say keep him.

Truth be told, LSU could do better.

But i want Miles to stay. What's sad is he is very underrated coach. You can have all the talent in the world and not play in the BIG GAME. Look at TN, AU, FL, hell even ARK this year. There is not a HUGE talent difference that people make it out to be. The talent just needs to be experienced in some key areas and you can make a run.

FLA next year will be that team.

Miles surrounds himself with great coordinators and would be stupid not to.

If anything, i think Miles is very UNDERRATED.

Because like the rest of the SEC, think he just wins b/c of the talent. Yet, he keeps beating all the coaches with the same type of talent and more conference wins and has an SEC title. And don't tell me any coach can come in with this talent and win. They may can win 7-8 games based on talent, but not 10-11 like Miles has done almost every year.

Better??? Better how??? Look at what is going on right now in the college coach search for all these schools!!!
Mich = 0
Ark = 0
Wsu = 0
Hous. = 0
I mean how can we do better when some of these schools can't even get a mid-level coaches to come over??? ie Mich & Ark????

I think we are very lucky to have him....is he the best in the nation...NO but you know what I put him in the top 5-6...
I am glad he is staying!

I'd say there's only a very, very small chance we could do better, but a huge one we could do worse. He needs to stay, but the world will not end if he doesn't.

So, as a fellow SEC-Wester, you guys are cool with us winning your division 66% of the time, the SEC 33% of the time, the NC 33% of the time, only losing 2 games a year, and finishing #5, 3, and 1 in the nation? Masochists, are we?

Not many have close to his winning percentage at LSU. Arkansas either. Find a list of big Conference coaches winning 85% of thier games.


Miles won the SEC Championship & has his team playing for the National Championship in his 3rd year at LSU.

The majority of LSU fans want Miles to stay it appears. As for LSU doing better? Well I guess we have two examples via Arkansas and Michigan that show us that getting a new quality Coach is not all that easy
