You have to understand that 99% of these bashers have never played a down of organized football.
It's easier to blame the coach. Those of us who have played realize that our failure to execute what our coaches taught us is the reason we lostmost of the time.
SFP,Maximus,and HBT are prime examples constant critics who have no understanding of what coaches do at practice

There are some on here that will actually argue that Miles belongs in that same class of coaches. They will never be pleased.

Nice post, Kappa.
I for one have been totally fricking sick of the garbage spewed out by Johnny-Come-Lately idiots on this forum this season.

If LSU run the table and finishes 11-2, MIles will have 4 11-win or better seasons in his 5 years at LSU, and 4-Top 5 finishes in his 5 years here.
His record will be 53-13 in 5 years, with only 3 of those 13 losses as routs:
Georgia in 2005 SECCG, Florida and Georgia last year. Most of those other 10 could have easily been victories, esp the 4 OT losses.

I love it when people use terms like "monkey fricking a football"...makes me laugh...

I think counting Wins / Losses is too simplistic and serves the agenda of some to justify mediocre performance and lack of discipline.
Personally,having been around for a long time, and I look at the above factors more than just W and L s....
To proper evaluate the record, you must look at talent, effort, progress, level of competition, etc.
A record of 10 and 2 by itself having only loss to the #1 and # 2 teams (assuming it is), is a great year. Now, if you look deeper at those losses, there is room for criticism and improvement. Anyone who accepts 10-2 as the best possible, is not giving LSU credit.
Sorta like the old saying..."show me a happy loser and I will show you a loser"
The point being, that BOTH,
accepting a 10-2 record as a good year
..and being disappointed can coexist.
..it is not a bad thing.

Ok, so honestly, who can you say could do better?
1) Saban? He's had 3 good years in his coaching career, but since he's been at Alabama, he hasn't gotten a trophy, unless you count a bowl win over Colorado. So he fits into your "happy loser" camp.
2) Petrino? Fits into your "happy loser camp".
3) Meyer? Having a helluva run, but has also had a few seasons where he has dropped 2+ games.
4) Pete Carroll? Don't get me started. Fits your "happy loser" profile.
5) Rich Rod? See #4.
6) Stoops? Look at what is going on this year.
7) Brian Kelly? We'll see what he can do, but there are no gaurantees. The big east is a borderline non-bcs conference.
The bottom line is that you can use a whole bunch of metrics to measure coaching, but at the end of the day, you can roll up 500+ yards and lose 3-4 games a season, and you will be still be judged by wins and losses.
