How many of those teams fired their coach who won essentially all of those games?

You have to give credit to Harbaugh/Shaw. Stanford is a program that has no business being a consistent winner, not to mention a top 5 program of the decade. They found their niche and were willing to go to any home in America with a son that fit that niche.

I still find the firing of Les Miles to be reprehensible. Wisconsin won their division, played Penn State in the B1G Championship Game, and finished ranked in the Top 10. Auburn was better than advertised and would have finished the season 9-4 or better, and ranked in the Top 15, if not for unfortunate injuries in the final stretch of the season. The loss to Florida was really the only inexplicable loss on the year.
The problem with Les Miles is that they wanted him to be and beat Nick Saban. There can only be one Saban, however, and I fear LSU fans are about to find that out the hard way. Orgeron is about to become the second coming of Curley Hallman IMO.

Les was fired because he was losing to Arky, Moo St., and the like
Since 2012, LSU had finished no better than 3rd in the SEC west... nothing was changing no matter how many times he said it would
If we were finishing 2nd to Bama continuously, then maybe you have a case... and at the same time the case can also be made that LSU was one player away from Atlanta, but that wasn't the reality... we were a few more steps behind than people want to admit
The narrative that Les lost his job cuz he couldn't beat Bama is patently false, no matter how many times you repeat it cuz it makes you feel good... hell, nobody was beating Bama

I literally used to get sick to my stomach watching our offense. Coach learned from his mistakes at OM and he owned up to it first step to being a man and changing. If he lets his coordinators do their job LSU will be fine.

You owe me a new keyboard.

Rebels have five wins against those teams in that time frame. Also should have had one more at least.

Stanford talks up their academics and they should BUT they use special admits just like everyone else in the country. There was a study on this a few years ago and there are only two schools that don't use special admits -- UTexas and UTenn. Texas has some other way of doing admits and Tennessee essentially has to go through the freaking Chancellor/Pres. with regard to it on a case by case basis. Everyone else uses a fairly standard special admit process for athletes. Basically, if an athlete meets minimum NCAA requirements they're in.
Stanford will reject an athlete they don't want on the basis of grades. But it has more to do with Stanford deciding they don't want the athlete than anything else -- what it does though is add an air of exclusivity to Stanford and makes them one helluva sell. It's smart marketing for both the school and the program.

Okay, so if Les beats Bama in 2011/12 NC, does he still have a job?
2012, LSU beats Bama, they are in the Championship game, potentially playoffs.
2013--up one spot, not much happening here...
2014, Win against Bama here, I think you win against Arky, Tie for the west, potential SECCG,
2015-Same as 2014
2016--win in Bama game puts you in Sugar bowl.
The Bama game is/was a lot more decisive than you think... Especially when its the game your players get the most hyped for. Can really set the momentum

Les won 11 of 12 games against Mississippi State, including 2 of his last 3

However, I understand the firing of Les. He wouldn't make significant changes and the average 11 win seasons of 2010-2013 were in the rear view mirror. He went 19-10 and 10-8 in the SEC from 2013-2016. That isn't good enough.
If he'd been willing to make big changes on offense he'd have kept his job, but he didn't want to. And he got fired because of it.

It was kinds of like Tubs, but without the final downfall. Although, Les was more in the game at the end than Tubs

Not correct order. Wisconsin has 3 more wins and same number of losses. LSU's should be .742.

He lost his job because he only won two out of three against Mississippi State. But for real, he lost his job because he said he would change and he didn't. That was evident by halftime of the Wisconsin game. He deserved to lose his job, and I'm a Les Miles fan. It remains to be seen what we have with orgeron

You're not paying attention if you believe this.

This is incorrect.
We didn't want him to be Saban at all. Hell, Saban shouldn't be Saban because several time in the past 5 years LSU should have beaten Bama. There is no excuse for losing to Bama when you are just as talented and put just as many players into the NFL. Not saying LSU should never lose to Bama. Just saying we should be splitting games or at worse in a 10 year stretch go 4/6.
Miles was fired ONLY because of HIS OWN stubbornness and REFUSAL to adapt to a new offense.

only 1 because expectations at the other schools with exception of Alabama is not as great.
