"Stuck with Miles" question

How do people on this board equate stuck with Miles and having 9 and 10 win seasons year after year = mediocrity I see this all the time, people saying have fun with only 10 wins a year. The next sentence is have fun with a mediocre coach. I am not saying the man is a genius, but come on I think some people are stretching things a little bit.
ETA: Would it make everyone feel better if we won 10 games a year and beat Fla and Bama each year? Is the we suck cause of that? Or would we still suck cause we lost to someone else?

What I meant was if we win 9 or 10 games under Miles ever year, how does that equate to we suck. Forget about performance on the field, I am talking about record wise.

Who says Miles will keep having 9 and 10 win seasons?
9 or 10 wins is useless if there is no chance to win our division.

Most years 10-2 will get you to sec title game. The past couple of years have been an exception.

Do you watch football? Do you follow recruiting? Do you have any clue about anything you just posted? Do you know what rationality is? Because your post indicates you know none of this.
Heres the answer for you plain and simple: The only teams that had more or equal talent than us was UF and Bama. Our team was not prepared for Florida, the Bama situation was a little more sticky, but coaching was still a factor. The Ole Miss game was terrible. We have, in relation of talent, one of the top 2-4 teams in the country. We have, in terms of facilities, a top ten team. We should be giving teams of equal talent a dogfight. We showcased that marginally in the first half of two games against teams of equal talent. We lost a team of lesser talent where a quarter of their starters were from our state, and that stings. Furthermore, we had an inability to dominate teams that had vastly inferior talent. This is SCARY for the amount of money TAF is spending on the team and the amount of talent we have.
To the next point, this team has no discipline, plays sloppy, and has poor play calling and coaching. If there was ever a very empty 9-3 year it was this year. We only beat three teams that ended up with winning records and NO teams that were better than 7-5. These are scary statistics. Until the coaching staff shows it is worth its weight and not just riding the coattails of the talent of the team, yes, we are "stuck" with Miles.

That was my whole point of the thread, it seems that now how successful we are is based on sec titles and bcs titles. I base it on where we were, and where we are now. We are improving some. Yes I am not blind to the problems on the offense, and ther performances have been bad at times. I still see this year as a success relative to where we were. Not just on championships, if that makes sense.

The Les Miles Hate crowd has really really gotten old.

we will not be beating bama for a long time. When i look out the window and pigs are flying MAYBE.
I mean we can hope every year that saban leaves.

we all want success. there is one segment that demands "instant" success and their definition is dominance in the sec west and bcs bowls every year. while we'd all like that, long time followers of college football (hell, any sport) realize that even good coaches have off years. bear bryant had two 6-5 years that i can remember. the segment i refer to would have been calling for his head.

We need to keep expectations realistic. If Miles can put up consistent 10 win seasons, you really can't ask much more because eventually he will have a team that can take down Florida and Bama and win the SEC.
