Les Miles and LSU: SECR opinion

A year or two back, most fans of other SEC teams were saying how idiotic, quirky and plain wierd Les Miles was. They made fun of LSU and their high hat wearin', grass eatin' coach..He talks loud, talks proud, and sometimes says some off the wall shite...
But his track record speaks for itself. Les has been at LSU since 2005, has a stellar 62-17 record at the school and is 32-15 against SEC schools. This year, most are picking LSU to lose 2-3 games at the most. Miles and his staff have brought miles(no pun intended)of talent to LSU to where they are one of the SEC's top team.
Whenever you think of SEC football, LSU comes to mind. Saturday Night in Death Valley comes to mind. Say what you want about Les Miles' personality, but the man has kept LSU at the top since he took over for Saban(bama fans will whine to the grave that Saban made Miles, but it could not be farther from the truth, since Miles has actually done BETTER even after Saban's recruits were gone)...
So, SEC...Compared to a few years ago, how do you view Les Miles now? Is he a better coach than you thought? How can he continually dominate, season after season, if he is a bad coach?? And if you make fun of him, will you continue to do so even after he and LSU beat you again this season?
We're comin for YOU...buckle ya chinstrap..

IMO Les is a top 5 coach in CFB. Nuff said.

I like Les Miles. He is quirky at times but it seems to work out pretty well

I still think Les is lucky as hell. But his track record is good and hard to argue with. I like Les's personality more than I do as him as a coach.

Easy place to recruit. Very fortunate. Not a great head coach.
Very likable guy though

les miles is a good coach who has year in and year out the most incredible stable of talent in the nation.
he's also the luckiest sob i've ever seen.
that said, i really like the guy. he fits perfectly with the lsu asthetic--off the wall, unpredictable, funny as sh*t, mardi gras crazy bizarre....

Where does the PSU loss factor in to that...

He's a mediocre to decent coach at a top 10 program...

cute thread.

I like Les.. He's hilarious. I think he's finally learned his lesson on the proper pronunciation of Arkansas.. I'm not sure if he's an elite coach or is just surrounded with so much talent that it's hard to loose. (He also has some good luck) Ask yourself this...Would Les be near as successful if Saban would have not proceeded him at LSU and left his magic dust on everything? Go Hogs!

I look forward to Petrino schooling Les and his 5 stars with our 5.7 three stars... It will be another glorious victory for us in this series.

He still does all of that crazy shite, but I do think he's a good coach and he's a good guy as well. He's good for the SEC because he's fun. Several of the SEC coaches, Saban included, are wound too tight.
Train him up, 'cause we never know when we may need a replacement in Tuscaloosa.

Good head coach and likeable guy except to LSU fans who will go back to doubting him when he loses his next game. I like Coach Miles but he doesn't scare me at LSU like someone who I think could better utilize the talent at LSU and can recruit as well as him. Coaches I don't want at LSU would be or rather would have been Kelly, Peterson, Whittingham and a one or two others. Who is the coach at TCU?

I agree that Les is a top 5 coach. I don't care who recruited the players. The same stupid argument can be made about saban and shulas player. It's just false. Both ns and clm are great.

I wonder what the perception of Miles would be right now had he gone 8-5 or 9-4 last year. 3 plays that SHOULD have been made would've resulted in 3 losses to mediocre teams.
-UNC dropped 2 passed in the end zone at end of game
-If UT wouldn't have substituted, game over
-The UF game, fluke fake FG should've never happened
I know these are all what if's, but he was within 3 plays that probably should've gone the other way of going 8-5.
Those 11 wins (that shouldn't have been) are what is making everyone expect 11 more this year, and the reason the hype is so big for LSU. Therefore, LSU won't live up to that hype this year, and people will go back to questioning Miles again.
I see 9-3 tops, 8-4 likely with 4 losses between these 6 teams (Oregon, WVU, MSU, Bama, Arkansas, UF)

This could possibly be the 4th consecutive year Lsu doesn't go to Atlanta. How would Lsu fans view that?
