re: Do you now understand why most of us appreciate Miles' manner?

Instead of firing Crowton, he lets him test the waters of the NFL. Nobody wants him, so what does Miles do? Does he shitcan him like a REAL coach would? No, he just lets him stay on to the detriment of the team

He brought in Gonzales to help with the offense. Miles has shown at Okla St. and LSU that he is a capable coach and can certainly recruit with the best. His meeting with some local sports media seem to indicate that he might have discussed the problems with the new coaches because he did identify some of his offensive problems. When he said he had a center that didn't gel like they thought he would and less than stellar guard play, I think the new coaches are having some impact on him. He would never have been that straight forward in discussing team problems. He said in the spring practice they would stress technique and fundamentals and pay attention to details. There will be competition at every position. Everyone should just relax as he has the ball and he can run with it or punt. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt at this point as he did win the NC. And don't give me that bull it was with Saban coached players because Saban never coached them after he left. The timing of Saban's leaving cost us recruits that year, that's all.
