coaches make boneheaded decisions in crunch time, like ours
this is precisely the absurdity I'm referring to.

first, define "crunch time." this is the oversimplification. every part of every game is important.

second, miles has made tons more "right" calls than "wrong" in end of half situations. that's if you can even call plays right or wrong. it's more about success than rightness.

third, miles is nearly legendary in the sec in terms of his accomplishments in the most competitive era of sec football. yet, he is wrongly characterized as being a buffoon by myopic fans.

name 5 boneheaded calls miles has made in 9 seasons.
