Saban is second all-time behind the Bear as far as SEC coaches go. A head coach nowadays is lucky if he only wins one national title in this day and age. To win four national titles in his last nine seasons as a college football coach is unheard of. With the likes of Neyland, Dooley, Spurrier, and Fulmer in the conversation, Les Miles can get in line when discussions are brought up about all-time great SEC coaches.

Miles would currently be behind Bear (Bama), Saban (Bama-NOT LSU though), and Spurrier (Florida-but not South Carolina). I realize we're talking coach at 1 school only, but that's relevant.
I'd put him ahead of Meyer (due to longevity); they were very close with Urban being ahead 2 BCS titles to 1, but Miles is still here and going strong, and Meyer left several years ago; his Ohio State record is irrelevant.
I'd put Miles at the top of the LSU coaching list; he has a better record and win percentage than Saban did, with more time in. He easily trumps everyone else on the list, and soon enough will be the all-time wins leader at LSU.
It would be interesting to compare Miles' tenure to all the "classic" coaches in the conference; I don't think too many would match him with wins/winning percentage, times finished in the top 10, percentage of time ranked, etc. Sure, Spurrier at Florida, Bear at Bama, Saban at Bama beat him. Who else does- does Fulmer beat him, or is Miles ahead? What about the others?
edit to add- Saban at Bama is up there all-time nationally, with or above guys like Jimmy Johnson etc- tons of success in a quick period of time.
Miles is gotta be in the next group, with guys like Tressel, Stoops etc. Goofy persona or not, he's churning out the wins.
