re: Why the hate for Miles this morning?

I'm absolutely at a loss with some of these comments regarding Miles. He is not the best coach in the country, but he is our coach and is probably (IMO) a top 5 coach. He is entering his 10th year here, and his previous 9 have netted the second most wins in the country by any program in that time period - behind only Boise St and their weak scheduling. He has not lost a season opener, nor has he lost a regular season non-SEC game. Simply put - the guy just wins. Period. He has represented LSU, Baton Rouge, and the state of Louisiana extremely well and I believe that he truly loves it here. He has his faults - as does every other person or coach in the country. He is stubborn - what coach isn't? But, damn if I can't help but like the guy. I didn't at first, but I do now - because he isn't afraid to let er rip. He isn't afraid to be who he is. Because he genuinely appreciates and loves the fans (who are some of the best in the country - obviously biased here). And because he wins - a lot. Like, a lot.
