Some more fun facts:

Miles lost to Southern Miss and and Louisiana Tech at OSU as well

Was 0-4 against Texas

Never won his conference

Does that make them any less of a loss? I guess you can look forward to more moral victories over us

And here I was thinking this was a thread about coaching comparisons.

From your last few posts, I can gather that you believe Miles can only be competitive at a school with built in advantages. If you think he wouldn't do well at Arkansas, then why is he considered a top coach?

Still irrelevant. I freely admit Les wouldn't do well at Arkansas either

no, just points out wisky under bert was never outclassed by schools with more inherent advantages. being consistently competitive implies good coaching.

That's pathetic.
How does it feel to have a losing record against a pathetic coach?

You've really painted yourself into a corner here. You want to argue that Miles is a top 4 coach in the conference, but you also admitted that he couldn't do well at Arkansas.

So which is it?

And Saban lost to UAB at LSU and ULM at Bama. Should we say he is a horrible coach now too?

The two aren't mutually exclusive so I'm going to say both.

Arky needs a GREAT x's and o's guy like Petrino to do well. trying to beat the big boys on their own terms with a guy like Miles who is a recruiter and CEO type would not work at a place like Arkansas. Every job is different. Saban is the only guy out there who you could plug in literally anywhere and he would win big.

They are actually. If you think Miles is a great coach then he could be a great coach anywhere. Not just Lsu.

If you want to say the program makes Miles look better than he actually is, then I would agree with you.

That's a very simplistic view and if you read my edit you'll see why you're wrong.

As head coach? No we don't. There's something called a staff you know

The hell does that even mean? Is this some "beat them at their own game" comment?

If it is then it's been explained a thousand times why that doesn't make sense

Do you really need Bret to win an SEC game to know that he's better than Mullen?

Les doesnt deserve to be that high. He hasn't won a BCS bowl since 07 and that was with Sabans players.


So when he won the SEC just a year ago and took our tigers to his second NCG was that with Saban's players? Yeah our coach doesn't deserve to be that high

Why not?

You're talking about beating the "big boys" while referring to Lsu. That's a 10 year sample size. And it's not a simplistic view to say that a great coach can do well at more than one school. Plenty of coaches have success at multiple stops.

There are also plenty of coaches who switch jobs and don't have the same success. Poor job fit is a big reason why that happens.

Nobody is ranking Mullen ahead of Bret. I think Mullen has already hit his peak. If the SECW was down like it was pre-2001ish, he'd be a great coach. I just think he's in over his head right now.

Saban
Spurrier
Miles
Richt
Sumlin
Muschamp

are all better than Bret in the SEC atm. Do you not agree?
