re: What was everyone saying about Miles during/after the 2008 season

What you are failing to consider is that the other teams in the west have gotten much better. these aren't the same old Mississippi state and ole miss, they have quality coaches and quality players. You will have growing pains when you lose experienced talent early, and the competition is better.

Our margin for error is extremely fine. In years past we could somewhat get away with it, not this year. Mississippi state is up, ole miss is up, auburn is up, Arkansas is even up.

we should expect pains, however I do agree that we should recruit the players for the system we run, or that we would like to run. We have high quality players I just think a lot of them are not being set up to succeed, and they are young.
