''He's a genuine person. And a guy like that, everybody loves to play for,'' Jefferson said. ''He cares about his players. He takes care of us, and it was just amazing for me to be a part of that.''

Veterans like offensive guard Vadal Alexander calls Miles ''a great teacher,'' and said the coach has the admiration of upper classmen, none of whom on the current roster have experienced a season with fewer than 10 wins. He said veterans also feel a responsibility to make sure younger players don't lose faith in Miles' methods when the team stumbles.

''Definitely, one of the big things is to tell young guys, 'He knows what he's doing. He's been successful doing it. There's a reason he's doing it. Just trust him,''' Alexander said.
