re: How will the Miles era be remembered?

Depends on who comes next. If we get the next Saban, people will be eternally pissed at Miles just like they are with DiNardo, even though DiNardo actually made this a somewhat desirable destination after the Hallman trainwreck.

If we go the USC route and hire a dipshit, followed by a degenerate drunk, neither of whom could win...well, Miles starts to looked at a little bit more fondly.

And therein lies the lesson. Even for elite programs, it's not quite as easy as snapping your fingers and having some top guy stroll right in and start racking up titles.
