re: Is Miles a Top 10 head coach?

The only true measure of greatness is retrospect. There has to be something to USC's success with Carroll as head coach that justifies giving him some credit. NFL vs. NCAA is not a good comparison because it takes a different kind of person to coach at each level. The players, chain of command and expectations are just different. Who could honestly call Spurrier an underachiever? I certainly wouldn't. Do I like him? Don't like him at all, mainly because he coached Florida. Can he coach? Hell yes! We as fans never like "the enemy" when he is successful. We are always looking for an excuse to not honor their success. Right now Les Miles and all of us are enjoying great success for LSU, but only time will tell if he will be looked at as one of the best coaches. Right now the team he coaches is hugely successful and record-setting, but it will only be later when gauging the sum of his career can we know of his coaching ability. Every poll, rankings/ratings list and thread that raves about ability is actually that person or group of people, voicing their opinions, biased as they may be.
May USC, Pete Carroll, Steve Spurrier, and all of the rest fall on their faces, and may Les Miles and LSU continue to win and be feared by all!
