re: Coach Miles educates Greg McElroy on ESPN Car Wash today....Now UPDATED w/ VIDEO

There's a misconception that a builder of a program is better than a maintainer of a program. There are several degrees of both. If u inherit a pretty stable program and make it better are u still just a "maintainer". Kinda hard to do much about what u inherit.
Some maintainers can only keep things together just enough to keep the job.

There are many builders who cant maintain? Why is that? What is missing flaw; that they dont have that maintainers do? Some coaches can turn a program around and get them good again but not be able to win the championship. What are they?

Call it what u want....
When you "maintain" a program at a high level for 10 years, u are an excellent leader and coach. Youve been tested by almost everything in 10 years, and youve proven to be able to make the necessary adjustments, maintain respect and keep people focused on winning football games.
This is not luck.
You either have these skills or you dont. After 10 years in the SEC west, Id say Miles has been plenty tested and he's still standing and prospering.
No one gives Miles a shred of credit about 'building' Okla St into a respectable program in what about the same time frame 4-5 years as his predecessor at LSU.

There's a few coaches that are just excellent coaches. The are the very top 10% of the profession. They will "find a way" to get it done with any program of similar resources.
Miles is one of these.
