Confused and concerned about Miles

I know this stuff has been discussed over and over on this board. I know that when we question Miles we have a tendency to pull out the records and prove that in spite of how ugly the wins looked or how lucky we may have been, hey, he wins. Bottom line. And, that's hard to argue with. Nevertheless, even though Miles wins, we find ourselves scratching our heads at some things he says (like the Tiger defense this past Saturday was what he wanted to see?) and, being very thankful that we got some lucky breaks (like getting into the BCS national championship game with two losses) I've never met Coach Miles but, from what I've read he's a nice man. It's obvious he protects his coaches which isn't a bad thing. And, he seems to do a decent job recruiting. But, he consistently makes decisions that cause you to wonder. And,for the record, this isn't about Nick Saban. Yes, he's a great coach and has turned Bama around. But, Saban is gone. Isn't coming back. Miles is here and isn't going anywhere as long as he wins about 8-9 games a year. Still, I question if LSU will ever be among the elite nationally with Miles at the helm. Urban Meyer and Nick Saban are going to dominate the SEC until one of them moves on. And, for the record, Lee Corso doesn't look so crazy in his "upset" pick now, does he?
