8–5, 9–4, and 7–5. Mediocre maybe, but not bad.
How in the hell did this qualify Les for LSU?

Miles' records at OK before hired by Skip: 4-7, 8-5, 9-4, 7-5. Gundy would be Miles 2.0 from OKS.

Because at the time LSU used was trying to do two things.
Find a coach on the cheap (skip bertman's policy) and find someone who came close to fitting the criteria we used when hiring Saban. And that meant a coach having moderate to good success at a school playing second fiddle in their own state to the bigger school. Les' resume fit that description. Problem was, he clearly wasn't as detailed or meticulous as Saban.

Might have something to do with the fact that the school had had one winning season in the 12 years prior to miles coaching there and that he beat their chief rival (Oklahoma) in his first 2 years (Oklahoma ranked 3&4 respectively those years).
It took Gundy 7 years to finally beat Oklahoma. Imagine the howling if our new coach loses 6 straight to Bama, 4 by 20 points or more.
