The Blue Board

I think Mullen is a good coach and shared that with the Penn St guys when he was a possibility for them, but Auburn did beat a much better Miss St team this past season.

Miss St is a tough place to win and Mullen should be commended for having consistantly solid teams the past few years for sure.

Personally I think the job chizik did in '09 was better than '10. The '09 and '11 teams had no business winning more than 6 games, IMO.

Isn't part of being a HC getting top players and coaches? Can't blame him for that.

Meyer would be a top five coach in this ranking.... I think Mullen is a decent coach but he isn't top five in the SEC. IMO you got to compete for the division at least once in the three years to be considered in the top five. Les is better than Mullen IMO. You don't go to 2 BCS championships and win 2 SEC titles without being a pretty good SEC coach. I don't care what school you are at either.

i could coach that lsu team to a national championship

This is a ludicrous statement.

You mean the church they couldn't renovate until Cam signed a deal with under armour?

That's what you wanna believe

Miles has been at LSU for 7 years. During that time his lowest finish in the SEC West is 3rd. He has also finished the season only unranked once in his stint at LSU. 5 times he finished in the top ten rankings out of his 7 year stint. 4 times in the top 5. So over half of his stint at LSU he has finished top 5 in the nation and he isn't a good coach? Saban (who I agree is the best coach in the SEC) hasn't had 4 top five finishes in his whole career as a HC. Mark Richt in his 11 years at Georgia hasn't had that many top fives. Spurrier is the only coach in the SEC with more top five finishes that Miles. He didn't have as many top five finishes as Miles in his first 7 years as Florida's HC.

Yep. Just the idea that Miles isn't a good coach bothers me.

Idiots can be good coaches!

Pat Dye wasn't Shakepeare either, but he did alright.

Solid point.

Honestly though, saying Saban, Miles, Petrino, and Chizik are better shouldn't be insulting. That's 5 BCS Championships and Petrino.

Man!

I think Auburn owes the man the world.

What he did after the DB era is amazing. Auburn could haven fallen off like Ole Miss did if it wasn't for him and Bo.

You must have forgotten how his era ended.

I'm way more impressed with what SOS has done than Saban.

Just because LSU and Bama were down when Saban arrived, they had long been established as distinguished power players on the national scene way before Saban arrived. All he did was rekindled and stoke an already well built fire. His predecessors had already loosened the lid for him.

Get back to me when Saban proves he can significantly reverse the fortunes of an all time train wreck program like SOS has.
