How many time in the last 5 years of his career did he lose to the Gumps?
Miles is tied for most wins in LSU history vs Bama.

His offensive philosophy was not very offensive to opposing defenses.
This is just your uninformed opinion.
Below are a few facts from LSU's own literature.
quote:

#1 Win%
#1 NC trophies (tie)
#1 NC appearances
#1 SEC titles (tie)
#1 SECW titles (tie)
#1,2,3 in PPG
#1,2,4,5 Scoring
#1,2,3,4 Offensive TDs

When there first started to be serious indications of wanting to get rid of Miles, one of my good friends was among those who really wanted to see this happen. I told him to careful what you wish for my friend. Told him when Miles was let go the next year that I would bet him, that no matter who coached for us the next 10-11 years, they would not match what was achieved in Miles's tenure here at LSU. And they may not even come close.
Looking more like a solid bet all the time.

I really don't get all the continued hate displayed for Miles. He achieved more than any other coach in LSU history by just about any measure. I've met the man and broke bread with him. He is a strong family man, and his biggest fault is probably his sense of loyalty. Like someone else said, he's been gone from the program for nearly two years. Let it rest, got plenty of other things to bitch about if you looking to do that. Maybe after the next nine years pass, most people will recognize what he achieved here.

He could not win the West over that stretch. That was my point. It was the pitiful offensive games that LSU ran out onto the field that undid Miles. That is an informed opinion. The teams did not play better as the season wore on. Les Miles was a gross underachiever.
