re: How in the hell did Miles get the LSU gig in the 1st place?

He was a solid if underwhelming hire. He had beaten OU twice in his tenure, which was considered impressive for a program w/ less talent/resources. Word was he did well in the interview w/ Bertman. Petrino was also in consideration, and apparently did not do well in his interview, came across as "arrogant." (pretty much was himself.)

Petrino is a better x's and o's coach than Miles, that's probably an understatement, yet I don't know many fans who knowing what they know now, would've hired Petrino over Miles.
