re: Les Miles: The Man in the Arena

I think Miles probably needs to go. But I think what the OP is alluding to from this quote is not the TAF or BOS, but all the arm chair critics and fans who in their lives have not sniffed the type of competition or had to make the types of decisions that someone in Miles arena or the players on the field have. I'm not positive of course where he was going with that but the players and Miles are not above criticism, but I think the point of what Roosevelt meant is that there will always be doubters and someone who knows they can do better. The way to not doubt yourself is believe in your convictions and stand by them. However if you can't learn from the critics who are on your level and know as much as you do or more (such as maybe your OC) then you stagnate and can not reach for higher goals.
