Is Les the Bobby Bowdon of college football now?

Both recruited lights out preaching family values and all that. Both are fantastic at hiring coaches. Both live in the top 5 or top 10 in the polls. Both criticized heavily for not winning enough championships. I know the comparison has been made before, but with the Cam hire I thought about it.

You've got a good point

Les is the Les Motherfrickin Miles of CFB. Ain't no one like him.

and if Les coaches at LSU as long as Bobby was at FSU?

He's not a Christian nutjob like Bobby, so that's a plus.

Word. Les is sharper than bubba Bowden.

. . . . . and the SEC when Bowden was making his decision was not anywhere nearly as good as it it is now.

Actually I am comparing Les to Bobby in terms of the level of coach they are perceived as in their own era.

I'm a positiger and Les fan, but BB took over at a school that had little or no success and turned it into a powerhouse. He came into TS and beat us 5 of 6 I think??
If I could hire one in hindsight I would go with BB, But Les is doing just fine....

This statement had me wondering about that whole thing?? Didn't BB have a bunch of wins forfeited.. if he did my local guy E. Robinson might still be on top....

Bobby took a teachers college to the pinnacle of colege football. Les took over a top rated program, the future will show if he kept it there.

One of the dumbest, most ignorant posts in the history of this web site.

I don't know about the teachers college part, but otherwise I think we are agreeing....

I sat next to Bobby Bowden at the National Championship game (2012). Fine fellow!

The past 8 years hasn't already shown you? Miles took a top 10-12 program and turned it into a top 3 program.

Bobby Bowden had 14 straight 5th finishes, but he didn't play in the SEC. Bowden also had his NC beatdowns, a re-match blowout vs. a team he beat earlier in a big game. And getting offensively shutout vs. OU 13-2.

I made a post in a thread a couple of days ago, Bowden went 6 years between championships, and most of the posters that complain about Miles would have wanted Bowden fired after that 5th year.
He had something like 13 straight years with top 5 finishes and only 2 NC's in that span. Obviously he was a failure.
