It's hard to argue with the 5 yr numbers, and I feel he could with proper hires, win some more hardware at LSU(at least league if not national)..

But, I strongly feel that the 2006 BCS title chances were blundered away by LSU's HC and staff, and far too early(done by midyear)..LSU every bit as good as Fla in 2006.

2007 team was best in the country by a good bit, lost twice, and easily could've lost a few more. Sure injuries arose and were critical, but they didn't mask the coaching that allowed a mindset of sleepwalking, and trailing 7-0 most every game that year, nor the oft sloppy tackling, poor special teams play, etc...

2005 outside of learning the team and talent, and ASU and Tenn strategies..best job by Miles..team did about as much as could be expected. Clearly about the third best team in the country much of the year, but without the offense to beat USC and Tex(despite an huge defensive edge over those two), and off Katrina chaos, thus a great season despite deadlegs in the UGADome vs Ga.

2009..par..most expected 9-3..most had Fla, Bama, and Ole Miss as the losses..methodology and overall player/team development questionable though.

2008/2009 falling off Bama's pace, which more than not plays to it's own standards(or Saban's), while LSU vacillates up-and-down to their competition for the entire Miles era..these are mirrors of these program's leadership..and a major tell!

Bama is leaving LSU in rear view mirror a tad. Miles now with overall losing marks versus Saban, Meyer, Nutt, with 1-1 mark vs Petrino. The wins usually by scant margins, also struggled vs Tubby, Brooks, Fulmer, etc..should be 0-1 vs Mullen.

2005-2007, free-wheeling/playing with house money, and with the best roster in the SEC, only Fla and UGA with equal talent.

2008-2009, all Miles era/roster, no more "dual taught Saban/Miles ballers"

Don't have faith he can beat Saban, with all things being equal over the longhaul. And fear ChollyMac vs Bear Part Two could happen, if he is allowed habitual 11-2/10-3/9-4 SEC and SEC-West silver and bronze finishes as an acceptable high bar to clear.

If forced to give a simple yay or nay..Disapprove.

Approve. It's doubtful if any of the idiots who disapprove are as good at their job (for those who are old enough to hold a job) as Miles is at his. If you ask them if they think their job is in danger, however, you can be sure that all of them are confident that they are at the top of their group and more than safe.

He needs to GO

DISAPPROVE
