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

What you Positigers don't get is that no rational Negatiger is calling for Miles to be fired now.
We can just see the writing on the wall. We know what is coming. Mediocrity is what's coming.
The Positigers, on the other hand, like to pretend Miles will somehow magically right the ship that he has set adrift.
We are realists.
However, if Miles were to bang out 10 or 11 wins next year and win the West, I will admit the error of my ways.

You don't want him as your football coach but you aren't calling for his firing? Miles doesn't have the [guts] to fire his coaches? Sorry, you are not being a "realist". You are agitating for Miles and his staff to be fired.

I hate how relentless negativity is what passes for “realism”. Fine. A realistic assessment of Miles is that he does some things well and some things poorly. He’s won wherever he has been, and was the more successful at Okie St than Jimmy Johnson, who is a pretty good coach from what I hear. He’s won a national title. He’s not some rube, despite what people try and say.
Is he the best coach on earth? Obviously not. His game management is pretty horrible. But he’s a great recruiter (yeah, I know, LSU recruits itself… whatever), he is a decent human being, he seems to be a good boss which has allowed us to attract good assitants (look how easy it was to get Wilson and Gonzales for essentially lateral moves). Am I 100% satisfied? No, of course not. But the people bringing up the “last two years” thing are just manipulating numbers. First, they use an arbitrary cutoff to make him look worse, and then ignore that the team rebounded from 3-5 to 5-3, which is not insignificant. People want to talk about trends and then, well, ignore the trends they don’t like.
I’m just sick of the whiny, negative nancy bullshite. Miles does some things well and he does some things poorly. But who available is better? Patterson has turned everyone down. Edsall’s not leaving Uconn. Ask Colorado about hiring a successful Boise St. coach. The grass is not always greener. Ask Nebraska about firing their not-successful-enough coach.
Any time someone dares say anything remotely positive, the same morons come in to spout off their “realism”. We get it. Reasonable minds can disagree. Now look around this great wild world and kill yourself.

fixed it...
good post...i have to agree on this one...I think it also depends on the way he does it as well, just a little...cause dont get me wrong, I want to win it, but if we win it cause everyone else is down and we still arent clicking on O or D, then positigers will have a absolute ton of false confidence...and that often leads to disaster...
book it, write it down, sew it on a patch or tatoo it...its a garuntee...
