I'm 100% with you on that. But most of his players would run through a brick wall for him (most, not all, as we know). Plus he signs top caliber talent every year.

And I do think most teams fear playing us. Maybe Florida or Bama don't fear us, but you can be sure they respect us. And you could say the same about them.


Signing top 5 classes every year is why I expect to see a dominant team. I agree that most players love the guy. I think other teams fear playing us bc of the talent, not bc of coaching, schemes etc.

Kinda like the old rumor that Bobby Knight was scared shitless playing LSU with all the talent they had, but then he looked down the bench and saw Dale Brown. Now I am not saying Les is Dale Brown but u get my point

I get your point. I'm not a Miles apologist at all, but I think he gets too much crap from people around here. He does leave me scratching my head at times, but outside of 2008 I'm happy with the results. And again a lot of 2008's demise had to do with RP and Lee. Just a bad situation.

The man's record and the development of talent speaks volumes. I wish we could play in the SECCG game every year, but I (unlike some here) know that is not realistic.
