re: What sport has the best head coach? Football, baseball or basketball.

Les wins that easily by default.

Did everyone forgot what LSU had before CPM came here?

Why did Florida suck so bad after urban left? Arkansas after Petrino left??

Why the hell is les miles always held to a different standard?

Football #1
Baseball #2

let's compare the two

Other accomplishments

Miles won big 12 coach of the year once is 2002
CPM was the winningest coach at St. Thomas his first coaching Job.
CPM was Second winningest coach at Air Force
CPM won the Big East tournament 5 straight years at Notre Dame.

Both CPM and Miles are good coaches and have a lot of success. If you only look at LSU they are very even, but I think if you look at how CPM had success a places that don't normally have success, I think that puts CPM over Miles.

Note you may look at the record and say Miles is better than CPM

that isn't a fair comparison LSU last year had the best record in this history of the school 57-11 if you transfer that into a football record that is 12-2 usually not good enough to win a national championship. 50 wins is considered really good in baseball so LSU would have a great year going 50-18 transfer that into football. That is 10-3 rounded up that isn't great but only good. I put their overall record to compare but it's a bad comparison because they are different sports.

Huh? LOL no

Lol. Yes

I think CPM and CLM are very similar, from the number of titles to the frustrating gameday decisions.

I do believe CLM has done a better job of surrounding himself with great assistants (though that was not always the case).

CJJ hasn't been here long enough to even be in the conversation. Although, he does seem to fit the LSU coaching mold with great recruiting and really frustrating gameday decisions.

In may its les miles....in november its PM

yep

Les surrounds himself with great coordinators and incredible talent, so I will have to give the nod to Maneri. What Maneri is doing with this team and mediocre assistants gives him a slight edge on Ole Les.

quote:

Les took us to a BCS Bowl in 2006, 2007, 2011.

Paul took us to the CWS in 2008, 2009, 2013.

Les=Paul.

PM has also missed the post season a couple of times. Les Miles hasn't missed a bowl yet. Even if you give PM a break for the first year of suckage he still missed the post season 2 years after a nc.

interestingly enough both had terrible years after their national title and both ended their best seasons with huge disappointments. I still think les is better but just by a smidge.
