Les Miles to take the same path as Coker, Fulmer & Bowden
Win a NC then bring their team down to mediocracy and force the school to find a coach that can hopefully rebuild the program.

How was Tennessee mediocre? Kiffin did pretty well with talent left by Fulmer. Check Fulmer's record at UT.Bobby Bowden finished in Top 5 for 14 consecutive years!
When you played,did ya'll win title every year?
Awaiting your response!

You're comparing four completely different things. Swing and a miss.

Bowden? One could only hope to achieve what Bowden has in his career at Florida St.

Actuallly Miles reminds me of Bowden only in the fact that Miles is also a Manager and not a hands on coach....like Bowden the last dozen years.

Miles will never win another NC without great assistants to do the coaching same as Bowden.

I do indeed think you're wrong. I think many LSU fans ore over-reacting to what has happened since '07. We've had a two-year run of woeful inexperience at the QB position to go along with a rather painful transition to a new defensive coaching staff. Would anyone expect the team to win the SEC under those circumstances?! Remember how frustrating 2004 was? I'm sure some of you were belly-aching about Saban that year and how the team was "regressing." Not coincidentally, that was also a year in which our QB position was relatively unstable. (Marcus Randle and JaMarcus Russell splitting time, and neither one really setting the world on fire.) So last year was an aberration, and this year saw us moving back toward the standards we've all become used to. Remember, we were in the BCS conversation well into the season; we ended up 9-3 (should have been 10-2, but let's not go there); and we're looking at another top 5 recruiting class. Most people would consider that a VERY GOOD year. As long as we are in the conversation for winning the SEC and playing in the BCS in almost any given year, we will be alright. And in those years when talent, experience in key areas, scheduling, and--yes--luck fall our way, we can potentially be on top of the heap again. That's about all you can ask for out of ANY program. As long as Miles continues to recruit as well as he does and shows the willingness to make adjustments in the coaching staff when things aren't working, I don't see any kind of long-term problems.

The comparison to Coker is dead on.

However, Coker finished at Miami with a record of 60-15, .800.

Miles won't touch that.


Unbelievably, it sounds like he is keeping Crowton which will be a huge blow to the morale of this team. They will be forced to prepare for next season knowing that the offense will have the same or worse problems as they did this season. The results will be disastrous.

After LSU finishes at 4-8 or so, the comparison to Coker, will be favorable to Coker.

This is a joke. All great coaches go through lean years: Bear Bryant went 6-5-1 and 6-5 in the middle of his Hall of Fame run. Woody Hayes, Schembechler, and even Spurrier at Florida at 3 and 4 losses in consecutive seasons. You cant go every year with 1 or 2 losses.
