    Les hasn't slipped. The reporting has. They ignore records and championships. They have David Cutcliff ranked higher with a losing record in 7 seasons at Duke, no championships and a 47% winning record.

    Right about where he needs to be

    Edit, just looked at the list. Freeze, Mullen, Rich and D"Antonio need to slide so that move ol water head to 19. Flip 1 & 2 and it's about right.

    Rankings are a what have you done lately look at things most times. Looking at recent seasons only that ranking would appear correct. However looking at an entire career he should rank higher. There is no way to look at the facts that should have Rich Rodriguez ranked higher, but the others could be argued. Miles has certainly declined in recent years, but he has done enough to make a rebound very possible.

    Les is about where Phil Fulmer was near the end. The difference is that recruiting fell way off from his championsip years while Les has continued to recruit a top 5 class year after year. That's what makes it so puzzling

    That puts Miles ahead of 80% of the field.

    No. The list sucks. Les is in the top 10 by any rational ranking.

    Nah, it kinda went over your head. An obscure reference I suppose but I was being facetious.
