re: At What Point Do People Admit Miles Knows What He Is Doing?

There is truth to the Bama issues. They were on top and have been the major competitor. Miles kind of choked away the revenge game after getting blanked in the NC and then blew the bowl game last year.

We laid an egg against a seriously undermanned Ole Miss team this year and completely fell apart against Bama. So he deserves criticism for that. If he had lost the bowl game, things would be looking down because that would have been 3 losses in his last four bowl games. But they won and he ran Hill to get the W and didn't repeat the crazy decisions he made last year in the bowl game.

He's averaging a solid 10+ wins per season no matter how sloppy certain Ws might look. However, the bottom line is that it's a what-have-done-for-me-lately profession now and schools aren't patiently waiting on conference championships, etc., anymore. His biggest challenge may be getting at least a few of his players to stay that extra year because LSU lost way more than any other school last year and is on track to lose a bunch this year (and that's including players that got drafted late or didn't get drafted at all). That's a problem when you're expected to compete for championships.
