He was shown putting "A" blade of grass in his teeth ONE TIME - at a critical part of the '10 Bama game. "THAT'S" 'bizarre eating habits' ?????????

"Poor end game management"
Why is NOTHING ever said about Miles "excellent end-game management":
'05 AU, UF, Ark............'06 UT, OM, Ark........
'07 UF, AU, Bama, UT.......'08 AU.................
'09 UGA, Arky..............'10 UF, Bama...........
'11 Bama (9-6)

"Vocal gaffes"
WTF do Miles' speech patterns to the GD media have ANYTHING to do with his speech patterns to his players and coaches in the locker room, at practice, and on the sidelines ????

"Saban has been the far superior coach. Miles has lost 12 games to Saban’s six since 2007, and with what could be perceived as the best roster in the nation, three losses per season isn’t getting it done."
So much fail in this. NINE of those 12 losses since 2007 occurred in 2008 and 2009, after Perrilloux was dismissed.
Miles is 3-3 vs Saban, and could very easily be at least 4-2, but Saban is "the far superior coach." ??????

"Three losses per season"
Again, 5 losses in '08, 4 in '09.
EVERY other season has been double digit wins, and TWO or less losses.

Miles suffers from poor public perception, mostly by his own doing. Do you have to be reminded of this every 3 months when a new article like this comes out? People always seem amazed every time one of these articles comes out, as if somehow it's heresy that the rest of the world doesn't have the same perception of Miles that we have.

NEWSFLASH: The college football intelligentsia does not think the same way about Les Miles that you do!
