re: So how good of a coach is Les Miles?

Does Miles have his issues as a Coach? Well sure he does. He can be a bit stubborn in sticking to a game plan that isn't working, sometimes he's too loyal to a player when it is clear that the kid is just having the worst day possible, and he's a bit disorganized which can bite him on the booty at the end of games.

All coaches have their flaws. Saban is famous for planning well but sometimes not adapting well. Malzahn is an offensive genius but has games where he spits the bit and keeps trying the same thing over and over again even if it isn't working. Richt's teams tend to lose focus. Bielema is too willing to hand over the reigns of his offense in games even when the OC is clearly panicking.

Miles is going to go down as one of the greatest LSU coaches to ever eat grass on the sidelines and the Tigers are almost certainly going to find it is a real bear to replace when he finally leaves.
