I think overall, he does less with even more...
2005: 11-2, home loss to an average UT team. Got shellacked by UGA in the title game. Beat miami in the peach bowl.
2006: 11-2 with losses to auburn and florida. Won sugar bowl convincingly.
2007: 12-2 with losses to an average UK team and a bad arkansas team. Hung on to win the SEC against an average UT team, and played for (and won) the natty despite near miraculous odds. Despite 2 bad losses (including the last game of the regular season) and going into championship weekend 7th, they had #1 lose to an atrocious unranked team and #2 lose as well. They jumped from 7 to 2 overnight and was undoubtedly the luckiest team to win a title in the BCS era.
2008: 8-5 with blowout losses to UF, UGA, and ole miss, with additional losses to alabama and arkansas. Won the peach bowl.
2009: 9-4 with losses to UF, bama, and ole miss regular season and a citrus bowl loss to penn state
2010: 11-2 with losses to auburn and arkansas. won the cotton bowl
2011: Excellent, dominant regular season and SEC champs that lost the national title game.
2012: 10-3 with losses to UF and bama regular season and a peach bowl loss to clemson.
2013: 10-3 with losses to UGA, ole miss, and bama. Keep in mind that's 3 losses with a 3,000 yard passer, 1,000 yard rusher, and two 1,000 yard receivers.
2014: 8-5 with losses to MSU, auburn, alabama, arkansas, and nd in the MCB
2015: currently 8-2 with losses to bama and arkansas
If les miles didn't have the luckiest national title in over 20 years him and richt would actually have extremely similar resumes. The only reason Miles is considered suuuuuuch a better coach than richt is because of the title, and because of his gambler personality. Fake field goals, 4th down tries, etc.

That worst part of that whole deal is we were arguably a better team at the end of the year that year.
His similarities to Richt are unbelievable. Without Pelini running a nasty defense, he's not very successful early on. Just like Richt and Van Gorder.
Pelini leaves and LSU's defense turns into a pile of lukewarm shite overnight. Like Van Gorder - only Martinez held it together for at least the last half of 2007.
Chavis comes in and takes a couple years to get it going, produces two years of great defense, earns the phrase, "third and Chavis" then leaves. Just like Grantham.
Steele comes in and has a decent defense right out the gate. Just like Pruitt.
Miles and Richt both look slightly lost - all the time. Although I think Miles is legit lost. Something's wrong with that dude. For real.

I don't see a losing season on Miles' resume. Also, I don't think he has any loses as bad as the ones we've seen against Vandy, UCF, or Colorado.
Pre-2008 Richt's body of work could stand up to just about anyone. Since then, not so much.
