re: If we don't make the playoffs next year would it be "underperforming"?

As long as the mentality is
A) wait til next year we lost lots of players
B) no on is better than Bama... Deal with it
C) Miles has a great career winning pct.
D) the games sell out even though 35% of the seats are empty...
Nothing will change. Miles will have to implode to get run off and he's never going to fall that far.

He 'll recruit well enough to win 70% and the majority will say it's good enough. Remember the 90's? We can't get do better.

And the rest will slowly become apathetic.
