You tellin me someone else couldn't do better than losing 22 games since 08? With the talent base of LA, resources, passion, facilities?


History tells me Miles is the best LSU has ever had.

He has faults....yes

and Saban was 34-24. Not sure why you keep repeating that while ignoring what Okie State was before he got there.

That is arguably the #1 job in the country. They have bottomless pockets


On every level but talent. They stuck with their second most successful coach ever

"Brown led the Longhorns to the national championship in 2005 and was the NCAA Coach of the Year. He is one of the best coaches in college football statistically, and will probably find himself as the third Texas coach to be in the College Football Hall of Fame."

Sounds kinda familiar.

Actually he lost more with Les' players than with his own.

The opposite of Miles

Pumper fail.

We need a coaching changes board bad so we can hash this all out. But until then, who are your top 3 candidates if the job opened today? Available, employed, pie-in-the-sky, whatever, just who are the first 3 names you pick up the phone and call?

SIAP, but Saban was an unknown when LSU hired, and we all know how that turned out.

We all now know what Miles is all about.

Holy shite, it's kind of scary...

quote:

Through 2008 the Texas Longhorns football team under Mack Brown have had a winning season for all eleven seasons since Brown took over the program for the 1998 season. As of 2008, they have won at least ten games in each of the past eight seasons; that is the longest active streak in the nation.[1]

Brown's Longhorns won the 2005 National Championship and seven of their ten bowl games. In 2006 he was awarded the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award for "Coach of the Year".[2]

Prior to coaching at Texas, Brown coached at Appalachian State, Tulane, and North Carolina. Brown is credited with revitalizing the Texas and North Carolina football programs.

No, I understand what you were trying to do....


What's even more hilarious is you failed to realize that Gundy lost more with Les' players, and Les won more with Saban's than either did with their own.

It was pathetic, becuase you didnt get how bad your joke was...so bad it disproves your own point.

stupid = pumper.

This might be the most ridiculous reach I have ever seen.

The whole Saban players, Miles players arguments are so stupid. I can't believe anyone actually takes shite like this serious.

Before Gundy took over Okie State, the 5 years prior they were 31-29 for a win % of .516. In his 9 years, they are 77-38 for a win % of .66. So a 15% win increase. Basically, he built them into who they are today

Before Miles took over LSU, the 5 years prior we were 48-16 for a win % of .75. In his 9 years, we are 95-24 for a win % of .79. Basically we have maintained.


It looks clear to me Gundy is a better coach
