2012 regular season may have been Les Miles' best coaching job

Between injury and suspension LSU lost 6 starters by the 1/4 mark of the season. Add in that LSU lost 7 starters from the 2011 SEC Championship team and it quickly becomes clear that this was a rebuilding year for LSU. The Tigers played 15 freshman in 2012, only one off the mark for most in the country. That Coach Miles was able to keep everyone focused and still win 10 games and be ranked up in the top 10 at the end of the regular season is extremely impressive.

Does this type of thread ease the pain of not hoisting the crystal ball since '07? Is that the point? "Les did a good job."

Meh,Not sure about that chief.His conservativeness cost LSU IMO.

I believe this coaching job is up there with the 05 team after Katrina. Coaching in adversity.

Only about 6 got meaningful pt. 3 were LBs rotating at the same position
The rest just covered punts and kicks on ST

I'll agree that Miles did a good job with this team this year. He should have beaten Bama though, but didn't. Was out coached for 4 minutes of that game...end of first half and end of game, but that is all it took.
What I would like to know is, where are all the "This team was built to win it all in 2012" proclaimers after the debacle that was the BCSNC game last season. It goes to show, when you have that oppurtunity, you had better put everything into it.
I am not here to rail against Miles, I like him and believe there is only one coach better. Just wanted to add my perspective.

Not disagreeing with you. I think Miles did a fine job this year through a lot of adversity but don't dare post this on Tiger Rant or you will be tarred and feathered!

Miles did a good job, but as has already been stated, Alabama lost 4 key players on offense this year and still produced the highest scoring offense in Bama history....

Best coaching job ever? He took the most talented team in the country to the fricking Chick-Fil-A bowl. Am I supposed to be dazzled?

Interesting perspective. Les definitely did a good job this year. However, he did coach us out of a win vs. Alabama, which ended up costing us a CCG and possible NCG appearance.
So, we probably did better than we should have, but not as good as we could have. I guess there are multiple perspectives here.

I'm amazed at all the angst from the Bama fans in this thread.
