LSU had a better team in both 2007 and 2010 and honestly they underachieved with both.


How can you underachieve with a national championship? And with an 11-2 record?

Seems to me that, for some reason, Miles is just held to a much higher standard then any other football coach in the country where a national championship with a 12-2 record and another 11-2 record is considered 'underachieving.' Apparently, winning isn't enough for him to be considered a 'good' coach, he has to win every game in a blowout to be considered 'good'

A handful of games doesn't equal 'everything'

I think it's more of a reflection of how great the football and athletes in the state of Louisiana are than how good a coach Les Miles is.


Isn't winning the goal of a head coach? Hell, Miles won 11 games with a dead last passing game, offensive coordinator that was bat shite crazy, and a QB who has problems passing.

By losing to Kentucky. In football.

For a group that gives us a ton of grief over "coach worship" y'all are quick to come to the defense of a guy that hasn't been to Atlanta since that '07 championship.
