Last years embarrassing slide is too fresh on many minds - including yours truly. I can't say I remember a Miles coached team improving during the coarse of the regular season. We all know what he can do in a bowl game, but by then, the pressure of the SEC campaign is gone.
Hopeful, yes. Optimistic, no. My uncle once told me that a pessimist is an optimist with experience.

Did he tell you this as you were hoping he would stop "touching" you?

Think about 2006. Jamarcus coming off an injury, fairly vanilla offense, lackluster really for all the talent and future NFLers on that team. A huge outcry about officiating in the aftermath of both Florida and Auburn kind of overshadowed the fact that Jimbo and Les had not really opened up yet. What did we see in the subsequent weeks. The offense became more of a downfield passing game, better play-action results, better running game. Sure, a few more turnovers resulted(Tennessee) but no one could really stop that offense after that. The improvement came mostly from a redirection in playcalling, after all there were no personnel changes that I recall, other than Jacob Hester began to carry the ball a bit more. But improve they did. This team has comparative talent to that team in most areas, particularly receivers and running backs. The Oline's not quite as good and the quarterbacks not as polsished as Russell and Flynn but still not too late to get better. Redirection of the playcalling(which has been mentioned multiple times now by LM) and proper execution of said plays would bring improvement. Here's hoping.

2006 was the only team that got better in Miles' tenure.
