the easy part about trashing Miles

That's a negative, sportsfan.

4 of 5 years with 10 or more wins. How can anybody complain about that?

When?

look at OU under Stoops when he was some qb issues, Mack had trouble winning the big game, Tressel was on the hot seat a few weeks back, Carrol leads the most underproducing team in the country

All of those coaches (and Meyer) have performed consistently for many years without a 5-loss season (unless Stoops had one in 2005).

Miles is a top 20 coach with top 5-10 talent....every year.

If he has top 5-10 talent every year, he should finish in the top 5-10 every year.

National titles, maybe, but division and SEC titles are within reasonable reach if a coach builds a strong enough program. To lose the division by more than 2 games two years in a row is a pretty weak showing.

Urban Meyer has won the SEC East three out of the last four years and is going for the national title for the third time in that period. Is he just lucky? Pete Carroll, for all the lack of actually winning a national title since 2004, has at least been in the thick of the race until the end most of the time, and has not lost more than 2 games in a season since 2002. Saban has Alabama a cinch to go 12-0 in the regular season for the 2nd straight year.

If those coaches can do it, why can't Miles?

Cannot agree with the original posting more - in this day and age - repetitive 9-10 or 10-11 win seasons are a rarity. A BCS bowl opportunity every couple or three years in this conference and we ought to run naked down 3rd street.

Good Post! Miles is a class guy. He did the right thing with Perriloux and has paid for it every since. Any reasonable fan should be able to put that in perspective. Did i say reasonable fan?
