undefeated in the big east, and would be a 6-6 coach in the SEC. The 2 qb bullshite the other night, and almost losing to UCONN. Give me a fricking break.
By the way, D'antonio left for Michigan State, he was not fired from Cincinnati.

What integrity has Miles brought to the program that no other coach has brought?

Your in Oklahoma and Stoops' Oklahoma team has 3 losses and they were chosen by many to win the NC this year.

From what I hear and read, it sounds like Oklahoma State doesn't miss Les at all. Oh and by the way, he left Okie State in the same fashion Saban left us. So much for integrity.

Guys,
This all comes down to not having an experienced QB to lead the team. People need to understand the true impact of the RP situation. He set the program back 2 years when he was kicked off of the team. Miles and Crowton didn't suddenly forget how to coach since winning the NC in 2007. They have all of the pieces, but lack a field general. I feel fortunate to be 8-2 at this point. Do I think our coaches are perfect? Nope. They didn't have the guys ready to go last night, but don't underestimate the effect of last week's Bama game. Not only was it draining physically, but also mentally.
IF we win out, we will be set to make a run next year.

Uh, you've got me pegged wrong if you consider me an OU fan - Stoops is having his own problems with fan expectations, some similar to ours.
I bleed LA and LSU thru and thru - I didn't bring OU or OSU into this conversation, you guys did.
On the OSU comment, if any of you have ever witnessed a game in Stillwater before the recent renovations by Boone Pickens, you'd understand why Miles chose to leave the OSU program for LSU - juuuuuust a little bit different than the Saban departure from LSU if you want to make comparisons. Also, it's well known by many Oklahomans that Miles did not like the prospect of having an "oil titan" with Pickens' reputation be the dictator of OSU's program.
With regard to the "integrity" issue, I would think most would agree that he's shown a bit more than Saban in how he treats his coaches and players - he certainly doesn't make a habit of throwing any of them "under the bus".

Maybe if we ask him kindly he'll just go somewhere else.

Wasn't Miles throwing our defensive players under the bus last year when Malloveto was clearly the problem?

Thanks for that. They won a national championship. What more do you want?

The National Championship argument is getting SO tired. He got a gift wrapped National Title, i.e. geting to play OSU with 2 losses on home turf. Who wouldn't want that matchup?
The fact remains that he blew two games against mediocre (at best) opponents. And to anyone who said Arkansas was a good opponent, Mizzou waxed that arse in the Cotton Bowl.

Pretty much everyone waxed that arse against Arkansas except for us.
