It's just a knee jerk reaction from an ignorant fan base. Nothing more than that, really.

Yes it is and at the same time it is something that has been building for a while. Miles has always been viewed with a certain amount of suspicion, for lack of a better word. Some wanted him gone after losing his second game against Tennessee where he blew a 21 point lead and lost in overtime. Others have wanted him gone because of some bonehead moves with clock management that nearly cost us the game against Tennessee a few years back and did cost us a game against Ole Miss. There is this narrative that he can't recruit or develop QB's despite the evidence to the contrary especially on the recruiting side. People forget that his first major recruit was Ryan Perrilloux, the top recruit in the country - a QB whom he kicked off the team. He also recruited Zach Lee out of Texas who was one of the top QB recruits in the country but opted to play MLB. He turned Mettenberger int a top notch passer. Anthony Jennings was a 4 star recruit coming out of Marietta GA and Brandon Harris the current starter was a 4 or 5 star as well.

Personally, I thought at the beginning of the season that Harris was about a year away from being really good . I still don't think the problems of the last 3 games can be placed solely at the feet of Miles.
