Did the Bama win last year convert Miles skeptics?

Bama Win
His Loyalty to LSU during Michigan courting
A&M Blowout

All equal love for Miles

this, and on the Bama game I don't think was the fact that they won, it was how it was done. Miles coached Saban under the table in that game.

Miles has the best 6 year stretch in LSU history. That's why i love him as a coach

People need to get over the Alabama game. It was a good win.

convert Miles skeptics?

they will never be converted. anything short of winning every game he coaches for the next 4 years, he'll always be a bum and "sabans recruits" and a grass eater and bad time management :blah:

i was watching the 07 v-tech game the other day, at one point musburger makes a "nick saban who?" comment. the 07 florida game, vern says something to the effect of: "if he wins this game, he'll finally win over the LSU faithful." then it was supposed to be the national championship game.




miles is simply on the wrong side of a phenomenon ive coined coaching perception. everytime nick saban loses a game, its "cant win em all." when miles loses, its b/c hes an idiot and doesnt know what hes doing. miles' haters would run him out of town if he went into the season as a unanimous preseason #1, only to lose 3 games and a 24 point lead against his rival, at home. its never nick sabans fault. ever.
everyone still thinks mike stoops is going to turn arizona around. who cares its his 8th year there. youd never know it they way people talk about him. heres a tidbit- hes lost more games than hes won there. but people still believe hes a smart guy and a good football mind, despite the facts. butch davis is another guy whos always been bullet proof in reputation, despite only having 1 double digit win season in his college (and pro) career.

miles is just too far down the bad road to make it back.


**i am not a miles apologist. he does things that drive me crazy, but if you take a step back, he never gets enough credit, and gets too much blame**

oo much hype for winning against your arch rival??

It was a nice win, and I was happy for Les, but people make way to big a deal about it. Bama was a very good team, but it was one game.

Les is a solid coach and does get way too much grief. I just find it funny that one win or one play is supposed to change everything for some people. It works both ways.

When Les wins another SEC title, more skeptical people will warm up to him. In 6 years he's only won the West twice, and only once in the last 5 years. People worry about another era of nice wins but no more hardware ahead.

Compare the last 6 years coaching college ball for Saban and Miles:

Saban: 12 win, 13 win and 14 win seasons, two NCs, two SEC titles, three SEC West titles, 3 BCS bowls.

Les: 12 win season, one NC, 1 SEC title, 2 SEC west titles, 2 BCS bowls.

In that time, Saban rebuilt a team at Bama, while Les only had to maintain an already built juggernaut. That said, Les should have earned and deserves the fans' respect as of right now.
