re: Les Miles is probably a top 5 all-time coach in the SEC

Les just took over a Saban enterprise.

And has done better than Saban did while at LSU. We hear all the time about how hard it is to follow a legendary coach except if you happen to be Les Miles following Saban I suppose.

The fact of the matter is that Miles has a great record, is still going strong even though the SECW is stronger than ever and the SEC overall might be harder than ever to compete in. But all of his detractors dismiss all of his accomplishments while giving the other coaches credit for similar success.

I give Saban his due, he is the best recruiter I've ever seen and a great coach. I believe the SEC has the best group of coaches ever assembled in one conference and incredible programs, thus I also believe that Les Miles has proven how great he is by having so much success.

LSU isn't any easier to win big at than any other big program, many of you just don't want to give Les any credit. If anyone believes otherwise just look at what happened at UF twice, Nebraska, Alabama, Tenn, Miami, USC, Mich., Georgia, Notre Dame, etc. The list is endless of schools where the coach supposedly doesn't really matter as long as the coach is average. That is likely the most lame and lazy argument a fan can make.
