and finally, btw, did any of you fools not see the box score (especially offense) vs bama this yr? We dominated the #1 defense in college football (even with 30% less NFL talent) and put more stats on them since '07 the last time we (Miles and co.) did it. How does 40 min to 20 min of Time of Possession sound to u? All with 3 starters out off the OL and a 1st yr qb and our top rb injured, Tyrann lost, 2 LBs lost.

You should ask one of the wide receivers that left early last year.

Name one other player besides Randle and Shep that openly hate Miles.
Defensive side of the ball = respect, offensive side of the ball = frustration. Seems pretty consistent with the sentiments expressed on the board.

Have you checked the box scores from most of the rest of our games?

Of course I did, that's why I think we need to hire a top OC and put Stud back at OL coach. But remember how he got there. Miles cannot be blamed for his OC getting diagnosed with Parkinson's a week or two before 2011's season opener and Stud performed well enough to not be demoted or fired last yr, even with the NC game debacle. I do think he has been given his time to prove himself and perhaps he is better suited to OL coach. It is my opinion that he is. But I think its certainly worth noting, that this Miles/Stud/Kragthorpe offense put up more stats on a Nick Saban defense that any other team since '07 (we were the last ones as well and back in '07 that was Shula's players). I mean, that includes Meyer's teams in '08 and '09 even with Tebow, etc. I think the offense performed well in the Ole Miss game, I think the earlier games in the season we were lacking chemistry from experience with Mett at the helm. I think Arky came to play as did Clemson, obviously and I think the Tigers lost so much motivation from the bama loss that we simply couldnt fully recover emotionally. This is to be expected in the college game and happens all the time to many programs, most fold worse than we did under similar circumstances. I think it all carried onward all the way to ATL. It was Clemson's superbowl (they even said it was their best win in over a decade over n over again) and we were one 1st down away from playing ND and hoisting the crystal. Yes, I think we need changes and Miles needs to triangulate to the full time Macro-manager, but people forget very quickly, the greatness he has exhibited as a coach. Not a pumper, not a nega-tiger, just keeping perspective. I will bet lots that the Tigers will rebound from all of this, Miles included. He has proven his detractors wrong over and over again. Perhaps that's why so many cant let it go and always wait for their opportunity to pounce. They want to be right, even more than their team having success. ...and that really sucks. Not to say he doesn't deserve criticism, but hyper-criticism, he does not. Even Bobby Hebert says regularly that he is the only coach he has ever seen in the history of the game treated so badly yet having so much success, and that man knows his ball, bigtime and is certainly not a pumper himself, far from it. I'm with Bobby and Bertman on this one.

He (just like our other players) really seems fed up w the man (sarcasm).
So Reuben Randle, Terrance Toliver, Brandon Lafell, T-Bob Hebert, etc. None of their negative opinions and/or statements about Miles count? Only the ones with positive things to say?

Les give his defensive stars ample opportunity to shine. Not many teams offer 100+ defensive snaps to accumulate 19 tackles.

For you people who say if we beat Bama we go to the NC. I think we actually lose to Georgia.

Yes, but their team is mostly unchanged from last yr and look what we did to them then. But yes, we certainly could have lost the SECCG, just like bama almost did on the last play. Georgia was better this yr tho.

If most of our fans had half the sense that Minter has, the Rant would be a much more tolerable place.
And if most of them would get their fing head out of Miles arse it would be more tolerable too. Some are just settle for mentality. Give me 10 wins and I'm happy. You get what you expect from Miles.

Once again an OC will be blamed! JLee just said that the OC is not to blame! IE Miles runs the O!! Hill is running wild and you take him out and refuse to run the play that sprung him! THAT (ABOVE) IS CLEARLY MILES. HE DID IT TO CHARLES SCOTT. FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CANNOT UNDERSTAND YOUR DEFENDING MILES! WE WIN BECAUSE OF CHAVIS! We could replace Miles hire an offensive minded coach and keep Chavis.
