I agree with you! He was one of my favorites growing up and plus lived in my neighborhood and had the best candy at Halloween!
Miles if he stays will join the top. He is allready climbing the important lists. Winning% #1 .846 Career Wins #7 will be in top 3 in two years 14 behind Saban Bowl Appearances will be tied for 4th after this year Bowl Wins Currently tied 3rd, after Jan 7, will be tied 2nd 1st coach in LSU History with 3 straight 10 win seasons Will be tied with most NCs after this year with Dietzel and Saban:miles:
1. Nick Saban - 48-16, 1 championship 2. Paul Dietzel - 46-24, 1 championship 3. Charlie McClendon - 137-59 4. Bernie Moore - 83-39 5. Les Miles - 33-6 6. Bill Arnsparger - 26-8 7. Edgar Wingard - 17-3 8. Biff Jones - 20-5 9. Russ Cohen - 23-13 10. Pat Dwyer 16-7 Les Miles moves up to #3 after January 7. In a couple of more seasons he would be pushing #1.
Charlie MacClendon Paul Dietzel Nick Saban Les Miles Bernie Moore Bill Arnsparger Les is moving up. Last year I would have had him behind Moore and Arnsparger.
I was gonna guess "Cholly Mac", if not, he was sure one of my personal favorites. :tigereye::tigereye::tigereye::tigereye::tigereye::tigereye:
Charlie Mac is in a class by himself as far as loyalty, charactor, and the positive long lasting influence he had on the lives of his players. Strictly on performance of the team on the field: 1) Nick Saban 2) Paul Dietzel 3) Bernie Moore 4) Les Miles 5) Bill Arnsparger If Les wins a NC he moves up to 2 in my book, since Bernie Moore didn't have any NC's and Dietzel has one, but Les has a much better winning percentage. I think if he stays, he passes Nick in a year or so, and he could be the kind of coach in league with Charlie Mac for the positive influence on so many kids lives. JMO
