even if you are right, which you probably aren't, it doesn't matter how many. it matter who. the people who hold the purse strings realize that the "anti miles crowd" does not have reasonable expectations.

That 4th and 6 play defines Miles football for me. Confusion, chaos and frustration

your characterization is pretty far off.

1. defensive problems from '08 have been fixed, promptly and decisvely.
2. offense has improved. not much but there is demonstrable improvement. last year there was no running game. this year, lsu is a solid running team.
3. the program has had no major infractions and personal issues are at a minimum, which is an incredible feat in the sec.
4. graduation rates are acceptable
5. miles' record over 5 seasons rivals the very best in the sec over the last 3 decades.
6. miles' recruiting is exceptional
7. most importantly, attendance is high and money is flowing.

the suits probably think of the end of the '09 ole miss game or the tenn game as speed bumps. they're not concerned with disgruntled internet armchair coaches. if the football program is evaluated as a business, then it's in very good hands with miles. the positives far, far outweigh the negatives
