Agreed. I was just about to quote, and agree with your previous post as I read this.

By the specificity of your post, it should be clear to all the validity of your stated sources.

How people can't see that this man is more than his win/loss record eludes me.

Off the top of my head alone:

Kissing pigs and scaling buildings for charity
April fools joke in big cat drill/ also confetti wind vector changes due to stadium addition
Dancing with team to Harlem Shake
Video he made of basketball game with his family in response to svps shoe gift
Hilarious post bama game comments about hot girls walking in disrupting him
His guiltless admission of eating grass as a superstitious ritual
His unique loyalty to his staff, allowing them to save face by finding other work instead of being fired
The very entertaining post interview when a kick was returned last minute to put us over the top of ole miss
The passion in his defense of his team during the have a nice day interview before the sec champ game in 07
His enraged and protective defense of media members calling out Russell Shepard.
The ole miss 4 minute left mercy kneel
Countless more

This guy doesn't just teach 105 kids football a year. He is a symbol of much more.

He does not cater to the media, in fact, he sometimes openly trolls them.

When dirtbag bobby Petrino told him to F off during the post game shake, miles slyly smiled it off. When Dooley ran off the field without shaking miles hand during the wild Tennessee game, miles chased him down to shake his hand.

He is who he is, openly and with pride. That person is a great family man, he is honest, passionate, and openly flawed. And what's crazy is, he is ok with coming off flawed.

It gives everyone else the permission to follow suit and not care what people say when your heart is in the right place. He rolls with the punches, keeps his head about him, falls on the sword for his players/staff, and is the definition of class in a world where that trait becomes more and more scarce by the day.

He wins where it really counts, in life.

I once posted a laundry list of why the negas don't like miles. A while back.....not digging that crap up again. Why you people start these threads and then crucify ppl who don't share your views is pathetic.... But hey if it helps you sleep.
Bottom line: I didn't like the hire from the get go. He's done well while he has been here...as well as we could have done given the talent we've had??? Meh.... That's up for debate. He's not going anywhere. If/when he wins another NC, he gets a free pass for life as far as I'm concerned.
I'm glad he's a great guy/family man but this is a big business not a father-of-the-year contest.
