So... While debatable, I think even Rantards are accurate when they say Miles left 4 NCs on the table

He has left at least 3 on the table. I think Saban left possibly one the year he left Mauck in too long in a blowout and hurt his foot. Would have been tough to win it that year but that team was riding into shape having thrashed Fla.

Great thread. 
Les Miles has been a head coach 12 years.
1 MNC.
Thus, he has left 11 NCs on the table.
Sincerely,
The Rant

2009 - this was a what-if year, IMO. A year removed from dismissing an All-SEC QB from the roster, the team went 9-3, losing by a combined 21 pts.
Yeah and we also won three games we shouldn't have. If not for an amazing 4th quarter performance by Chad Jones, we lose to Mississippi State. If not for an amazing run by Charles Scott, we lose to Georgia. And finally, we nearly gave the Arkansas game away, but their kicker missed in OT.
You said it is a "what if" year. I ask "what if" we had gone 6-6. We were pretty close.

Lets hire back Hallman and the rest of the clowns between Les and Charlie Mac. One day you will all see that Les is the best coach in the history of football. Let start back the Les statue thread to make it happen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------SPECKHEAD nailed it (save the best FB coach ever-TBD). Must be a lot of youngsters on this board. It doesn't seem like that long ago that mediocracy was the norm. Guys, let's enjoy this ride we have right now. This is a blast !!

Well in 2011, you can at least say that a flipped result in the Jan 9 game means we win it. So we did control our own destiny until the very end. Depends if you think we were really better than them and should have beaten them in the Dome.
I wanted to say 2012, from the standpoint that a flipped result with Bama means we play ND... but Georgia in ATL would not have been a given. Same with 2006 and Auburn... just means we get a rematch with UF, who was just as complete a team as LSU that year. 2005 we wouldn't have had a shot, even if 12-0... we wouldn't have jumped Texas or SC. 2008/2009 we were just not a very good football team and no one game on the schedule made a difference.
The most difficult thing to this day, is thinking back to 2006, where we had all the momentum in the world, Alabama was stagnant with Mike Shula, and yet between then and now they have completely bypassed us as a program.
I guess the answer to your question is, how much of Les' responsibility was it to stop Alabama's rise to prominence, or how much do we view this as inevitable on their part? They've run roughshod over the rest of college football... was LSU in a unique position to stop them, and just stood by idly while it happened? Or is it more acceptable just because they beat everyone else as well? Because they're the primary reason we don't own at least one more NC and maybe even two. Without them, the SEC and college football are basically ours.

What a fricking idiotic thread. Given the rant's standards these days, that's saying something. Really.

Amazing the delusion in this thread.

Numerous, and we're still treading down that path
