Most of the “nega tigers” are the ones that act like miles tenure was a complete failure which is why they get called out.

This is, at best, an exaggeration. The so-called negas recognized that the type of offense Miles wanted to run would almost always win against inferior talent but would very rarely win against equal or better talent. It wasn't a complete failure but it was always going to be stuck at the 9-10 win level. It was never going to compete for championships.

I always hated the term. These fans (and I was probably considered one of them) were not anti-LSU, they were anti-Miles because they knew Miles couldn't get them where they wanted to go.

Not to defend it because i also hated the Miles offense, but he did, in fact "compete" for multiple titles. By the end it was clearly not going to work any more, but that wasn't true every season he was here. The broader point is, there was no reasonable, realistic case to fire him before the end of the 2014 season at the earliest.
