re: Is Miles the most successful/least liked coach ever?

Say we finish 10-2, and win the bowl game to boot. 11-2 and a top 5 finish. Do you think that changes the opinion of anybody that currently doesn't think he's the right man for the job? If not, why?

No probably not. But those who never thought he was the right guy for the job will be far less vocal, so it will seem as if opinion's were changed.

The problem the fans have now is how bad this offense is. They attribute that to Les, GC, and JJ. The good news for JJ, is that when the offense is this bad, the QB normally gets all the blame.

Les is plagued with an inability to interview well. This hurts him. A friend of mine was asked by a Bama fan about to board charter flight, why Tiger Fans did not like Les. He responed we like Les just fine. We are just not sure he can coach. The bama guy responded we have the exact opposite problem. We know Saban can coach, we're just not sure we like him.

This is a big part of Les problem. The job seems to big for him. Whether its sprinting up and down the sidelines trying to call a time out on a change of possession, trying to locate his wife in the stands, or the weekly radio debacle, Les continues to hurt himself in the eyes of the fans.

That said, he does a lot of stupid things while coaching that leaves people scratching their heads. But to my knowlege, he's never lost to ULM.

Depends on whether 'Bama finishes ahead or behind us.
