Les Miles was a winner early-on, but his teams underperformed later on

The Les Miles era at LSU is over after his firing on Sunday.

It is remembered for its best days – a national championship – though what followed was a struggle to duplicate the success of the past. How can we put it in statistical perspective?

His accomplishments

Miles leaves LSU with the highest winning percentage (.770) and second-most wins by a coach in school history. His 114 winsare 23 fewer than Charles McClendon. Miles (2007), Paul Dietzel and Nick Saban are the only coaches to win a national championship at LSU in the Poll Era.
