It's almost like both men were coaching in two different eras or something.

How many playoff games has Kiffin won as head coach?

I'd say that both men walked into the same situation, but that'd be disingenuous.
DeCline was given a dynastic powerhouse, situated above all but two or three programs. He was given the keys to a mansion in the Hamptons.
Miles was handed a good program, not yet great. The foundation was set, but the house wasn't built. He had to finish the construction.

What does Kiffen have to do with the topic?

It doesn't matter. They were wrong and now they have to pivot to bring up anything new that he hasn't done. It will continue to happen as long as LSU keeps doing things the board says it can't/won't do.

2 of the 3 have something in common........and coaching at Alabama isn't the something.

No transfer portal when Saban left LSU.

Not sure it would have affected Miles if there was.
Players loved that man.

Weird that anyone would think that the 2005-2007 SEC is comparable to today's SEC.

They’ve discussed it three times in the last two days already

True.
That SEC won their bowl games against other conferences

Sure they grew to love him, but how many knew him when he took over for Saban?

Les also didn’t have the benefit of having the conference headquarters an hour from his campus

Can you give us a timeline of said eras?
Thanks in advance.

SEC is much weaker now.

Sure.
The NIL/Transfer Portal Era began in 2021 when players could transfer without having to sit out a year and could likewise legally make money off of their name, image, and likeness. I hope that helps.
In the aftermath of Saban's retirement in 2024, some 26 players - including 10 key contributors - transferred from Alabama in the month of January. How many of LSU's key players transferred when Saban left for the NFL?
