re: Is it just me or has the anti-Miles talk totally subsided?

There is no sense of "entitlement." That's just a bizarre argument. When your son comes to you with a "C" in math, and you tell him you are disappointed and that he should study harder to make an "A," do you do that because you feel that you are "entitled" to a son who earns "A's," or do you do it because you recognize that your son has the talent to make an "A" and you want him to be excellent, the best person he can be?

When I express disappointment that LSU has only won a single SEC champiopnship under Miles, it isn't because I believe I am "entitled" to anything. Rather, it is because I know that LSU has the recruiting base, facilities, and other attributes necessary to be consistently excellent. We can win the SEC more often than once every six years. I want LSU to be the best program it can be.

This isn't hard to grasp unless you have a particular agenda.

Now, maybe you are one of those unfortunate souls who truly does believe that LSU can't do any better than one SEC title every six years, maybe you fall in the school of thought that regards LSU as mired in middle tier of the SEC for all eternity. I don't.

Finally, your assertion that NOBODY can "dominate" the SEC is belied by recent history. Bama under Saban had back to back undefeated regular seasons in the SEC. More generally, Saban has won three SECCG's in his last eight seasons in the SEC. Florida under Meyer won two SECCG's/NC's in a span of three years. Even Auburn has won two SEC titles since 2004. This clearly demonstrates that is is possible to win multiple SEC titles in a short span of time. That is all I am asking Miles to do.
