We all know the hatred for Saban, but I think that has waned over the years a little bit. Miles was remembered fondly, but I think the sexual harassment stuff has hurt his legacy in BR a good bit. Then there is Orgeron. Even though fans were testy with him towards the end, I would think he will always be a favorite similar to Spurrier with Florida.

I'll remember their championships and how frustrated they all made me towards the end of their tenures.

And for whatever it's worth I try to focus on players I favored from teams they built. Dorsey, Honey Badger, PP7, Burrow, Devin White etc.

LSU fan here

1) Saban will be respected by all, hated by some and loved by some.

2) Miles was never respected by all, but at one time was well liked by many until the sexual harassment stuff

3) Coach O I think will likely be one most fondly welcomed back as strange as that seems. I think because the way he handled himself after getting fired and how he got LSU to play its best football over the last 2 years once he was fired. He did coach his rear end off and went out knocking off the Aggie Yell leaders.

So strange as it seems, I think when O comes back for his teams NC reunion, vs. the other 2, the order of how they will be viewed will be

1) O
2) Saban
3) Miles


Edit: But as someone said, all 3 over time will be remembered for winning NC's.

The fact Les had a sex pad in Tigerland, is something I'll never be able to get out of my head. Oof

Nick Saban:

A great coach that brought us from bottom of the barrel to national champions. I don't hate him at all and thank him for his time here.

Les Miles:

This is harder. He came in and for the most part sustained Saban's success. He was thought of as a good guy while here but stubborn in his later years and wouldn't change with the game which would prove to be his downfall. At the time, most people would have liked for him to adapt and keep being the coach. Now we realize he was kind of pervy so it seems like it was a good thing he was fired in the end.

O:

I think his motivation wasn't that he loved LSU but wanted to be the hero for his home state. He made adjustments to his coaching staff and took risks that paid off. After the natty, his ego got the better of him. In the end, coaches could see the writing on the wall and he had to settle for coordinators with zero experience. I thank him for 2019 but his antics were inexcusable. I am glad he is gone.

There was no harassment. The allegations against Les boiled down to a college girl willingly getting into his car. That was it.

I rank them in the order they came and the difference they made to the program

1 - Saban. Brought LSU back after the 90s and made what followed possible
2 - Miles maintained a high quality program for the better part of a decade. Won a championship and got close again. Degraded slowly after 2011/2012.
3 - Orgeron was a flash in the pan who relied on Aranda and Burrow to reach unbelievable heights. He then degraded immediately with the loss of those two.

Reading you mensas trying to make a gay joke out of bringing a skank to practice and harassing coeds is pretty amusing.

You want me to print you some cups?

As coaches that won a natty , not mad at Sabin at all and I know some are but you can’t blame that man for what he did , how about your last 3 coaches ?

Well that depends on the definition of sexual harassment. I think under LSU's, when Les went around the football office and said all the women here look like and old female bowling team, etc, we need more young blondes with that are fit, etc.
