re: Speaking of Les Miles

I just don't get the rabid and extreme Miles hate here.

Yes, it was time to move on.

But keep perspective- Saban didn't establish LSU as a perennial national power, he simply set the stage for what followed. He had one season where we did win a NC, but the others were merely "good", and that included the season that followed our title.

Miles came, and out of the gate (his first 3 seasons) we jumped from "good" to Top 5 level. Might have just been the timing, but he didn't prevent it from happening, either.

He was coach when we made a couple other runs, but ultimately, he couldn't quite sustain it.

I read a comment like "were there highlights from 21-0", and I just wonder- how many other programs are there, where the fans universally disparage a team that makes it to the National Title game? I mean, do Oregon fans bitch and whine about the losses to Auburn and Ohio St like those were the low points of the program? Frick, Miles got us TO that game twice, and won it once. Outside of Saban, Meyer and Stoops, how many other coaches are there that can say that?
