Was 1/9/12 the beginning of the end for Miles?

Will he recover or not? Explain your answer...

No. At least not back to a Championship.

Unequivocally false.

To take away the accomplishments of that regular season because we laid an egg in one game, albeit the most important one, is short sighted.

It lit the fuse for a lot of the fan base.

The incoming recruiting classes look promising (if we keep all of them in the fold), but....NO I don't think he recovers....too stubborn and one-dimensional in game planning and then there's the in-game snafus which are not just going to suddenly stop in the future.

If it wasn't for the buyout, he might be in trouble this year.

WOW!! What an exciting and new topic. Thanks Marlinman. The salary angle was especially intriguing since it is a top hardly ever discussed. It's posts like this that add value to this site.

Undecided. It was definitely a bucket of ice water thrown on the Tiger Nation after what was most definitely a masterful season by the team.

It was an ending that should never have been written that way. If the Tigers had gone down swinging, there would have been disappointment sure. But not devastation. Nobody reasonable would have ever expected this big, bad #1 undefeated team that had already beaten Alabama at home to go down unprepared, without a plan, an answer or even a whimper. But that's what happened, like it or not.

And who do you look to for answers? You look to the head coach. But he had none. In that one game, he spent a lot of chips and to date has not recouped his losses. Then went and lost twice more to Alabama.

All that may yet come back to bite him. There are drums beating in the hills even now.

Using your criteria, we could replace Miles with coaches from any of these schools which have lost 3 or more games in the last 4 years:

oregon, USC, Ole miss, miami, baylor, oklahoma, west virginia, clemson, fla st, florida, texas, nebraska, michigan, georgia, auburn, alabama, virginia tech, missouri, south carolina, and more. Take your pick.

He did but didn't but didn't Copeland is going to drop the ball before crossing the goal line and ZM do the same thing a few plays later.
