Miles Remains LSU Coach

On Thursday, LSU retained Coach Les Miles. Miles signed a four-year contract. “I'm thrilled to be here,” Miles said. “I'm thrilled to be LSU's head coach. I'm thrilled to be on the campus. I look forward to many years as the LSU head coach.”

During his tenure, Miles has logged a 33-6 ledger. He has garnered one Southeastern Conference championship. He has scored two SEC Western Division titles. He has secured two bowl victories (2005 Peach and 2006 Sugar). Within the SEC, Miles has racked a 19-6 record.

Miles is not great. Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, and Knute Rockne were great. Miles is a satisfactory coach. LSU has not realized this. Potentially, they have saved Michigan. They have precluded a disastrous mistake.
