Saban built it, Miles lost it, Orgeron has rebuilt it.

It’s hard to say miles lost it when we had multiple national championship, sec championship, and BCS bowl game wins and appearances. I appreciate the sentiment but trashing miles is unnecessary.

You give Miles too little credit.
He was not longer a top coach after 2011, but was among the best before then.
Ten wins per year is nothing to sneer at...

Can't you enjoy the win without bashing Miles?

Miles lost it

Miles won a NC. He left a solid program in place.

If O wins a NC will that be a 1st?

Any program ever won NCs under 3 consecutive coaches?

O's career turn around is nothing short of amazing. He has done everything necessary to get Lsu back to Elite.

The last few seasons of Miles, he decimated LSU.

He was great, until teams started loading up the box on him.

The end of Miles' tenure, we were an average team at best

LOL ridiculous statement.

"Losing it" would be what Florida State looks like right now. Or Texas after Mack Brown. 5-7 and missing bowl games.

Your stupid is showing.

Miles won a championship and maintained a top program when Saban abandoned..

Not sure why we continue to feel the need to take shots or dismiss what Les did here.. but okay..

Pretty sure Miles is every bit as responsible for O being here as well.

If Miles would have brought in a modern offense he would still be here. He had the horses but has them running into brick walls

Miles was and is a tool. So glad he is elsewhere.

Agreed. You can’t totally discount Miles’ successes.

It's so funny when people talk about how bad the team was in Miles' last year (meaning 2016). The were preseason #5 and could have very easily ended up in the Sugar Bowl. The only team we lost to because of talent was Bama.

Hated the hire

Hard to hate it now.

Jesus Christ man.

Les Miles won a national championship and 2 SEC Championships.

Let let Orgeron won something first. Anything.

This LSU team is great because of Joe Burrow.

Orgeron deserves tremendous credit for getting Burrow and changing the offense but he has a long way to go to compare to Les Miles.
