As you should have. Just about any other coach has LSU playing for a NC in 2006 and 2007 (and not as a 2 loss team). They should have been in contention in 2005, although USC and Texas starting the year 1 and 2 probably prevents even an undefeated LSU team from being in the BCSNCG that year.

Miles seemed to finally have a lot of things together in 2011, but they 21-0 happened. I'm convinced they only reason he kept his job at LSU so long is so many people at LSU wanted to say "See you can still win at a high level without being a dick like Saban!" He was at LSU for 11.25 seasons and lost at least 2 games every year but 2011. With the talent LSU had over those years that should be criminal.

I agree with all of this, but, most LSU fans are so defensive and subjective that they get angry when somebody expressed this opinion. Why do they react so emotionally?

It might be because the are FANATICS, which is what a "fan" is!
