re: In your opinion, has Les Miles definitively "Lost The Room" or not?

You can "like" somebody and have absolutely little or no faith they will bring you a championship. The two aren't mutually exclusive. I have no doubt the players love him, he seems like a nice enough guy, but he has peaked as a coach and his coaching philosophy is not sustainable for the long term. I wouldn't expect a bunch of 20 year olds to necessarily get that.
