re: Rank Your Top 5 Teams of the Miles Era

2016 had natty potential talent. But was wasted trying to have Jennings in a pro style under center

Would have been nice to have the transfer portal after Mettenberger left.

2006 team in the current cfp would have been interesting.

2011 LSU

I went to every game that year home and away. It was a fun fricking season up until it wasn’t. I’ll remember Oregon, Bama and Morgantown until I take my last breath.

Les Miles era

They got skull dragged at Florida

They fumbled on the 1 yard line on the road against the eventual National Champs. If we go up 14-7 there it’s a different game.

they were horrible on offense like every Miles team until the last couple games.

05-06-07 we’re not horrible offensive teams. You have every right to your opinion but the offense didn’t turn to shite until after the 2008 debacle.

I say that with all due respect since you’re a long time poster lol. I just feel that was the best team Miles ever had in terms of talent and like you said we pissed it away.

11
07
06

Those seem to be concensus picks and the first 3 I thought of as well.

I’d add 12 for sure at 4

15 is my pick to round out the top 5 but I think almost every team but 08 would be a fair answer here

Also had a TD called back by a phantom hold and there was a punt that our guy was practically standing in front of their punter and to this day I can't fathom how he did not block it.

In no way shape or form was that a skull drugging, turnovers (most unforced IMHO) and some tough breaks against us cost us that game.

I fully agree with this.

In doing some research - surprising to me the 2009 and 2010 LSU rosters had the most players that had at least a cup of coffee in the NFL - 41 each of those years according to my search made NFL rosters if only for a brief time. That may speak to the decision by Miles to pull in the reins after 2008 that is often referenced here and I think justifiably.

Of course the pure quantity alone should not be the final gauge of pure talent as I still would argue 2006 had the most high end quality talent.

Sleeper pick and maybe at the end of my 5, but 2016 was an awesome team to watch talent wise, with guys like fournette and Jamal Adam’s. As a whole team they don’t compare to the rest of these top 5s.
