re: More impressive first year coaching job? Wade 2017 or Miles 2005

that in the back of my mind was this nagging thought after 2006: how the hell does a team with 4 first round draft picks, including the overall number one, not win the NC?

How does Alabama not go undefeated and win the NC, or even the SEC, every single year. The best team doesn’t always win, and it doesn’t mean the coach is some bumbling dumb frick when they don’t.

ow does this team go .500 in shite, irrelevant bowls

Not even sure what you mean here?

Miles went 7-4 in bowl games, an outstanding 7-3 if it hadn’t been for The Rematch against a conference team he’d already beaten on the road that happened to be another all time great team.


The other three losses came to an 11 win top 10 Penn State by 2, an 11 win top 10 Clemson by 1, and granted a mediocre Notre Dame by 3.


His seven wins came against Miami, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Georgia Tech, Texas A&M, Iowa, and Texas Tech by an average of
over 28 points.


Of the valid criticisms of Miles, bowl game performance is not even close to being one.
