re: How has Miles improved as a coach?

No disrespect intended but you must have some other motive than saying he hasn't improved.


Like or hate the guy, you can't ignore what he's accomplished.

I was as frustrated as everyone else in the 1/9 game but that's 1 game. Yes, I know, it was the game to finish what is still a stellar year and like any other Tiger fan, I wanted that 3rd crystal football but that's been over. You can hold that over his head for however long, that's you're prerogative, but once again, you have to give credit when it's due. He has improved. For the life of me I can't fathom how you can say he hasn't.

"Us?" Anyway, I know what you meant but be that as it may.


As much as I hate to be cliche', haters gonna hate.

The question was, How has Miles improved as a coach? It's my opinion he hasn't. I don't think he's significantly better now than he was when he started.

I again point out the coaching in the NC game. It was joke, a bad joke. Where were the adjustments in the game? When things weren't working, play after play after play after play, what changes were made? I'm not talking about just the failure to change quarterbacks, but the whole game management. LSU had 92 yards, 92 YARDS and 5 FIRST DOWNS for the entire game!!

Has Miles improved ad a coach. No, he hasn't and the NC game is a glaring example of that.

It's because he isn't saban. People act like saban never fricked up... Miles doesn't lose to scrubs. People tend to forget the flaws saban had while at LSU. He is a better coach now, as is miles. People didn't like saban then either. I just think some fans are destined to be miserable. The way people pick apart every little thing on here makes me think that they simply have shitty lives so criticize the shite out of everyone else.

So your only "fail" on his part is the NC game. This is the third time you've referred to it. Let me guess, the "clock it" thing with JJ at Ole Miss a couple years ago is the next one. Like I said, no disrespect intended but you have to be blind to not give the guy credit for what he's accomplished.

Maybe he seems to be too nice or something. "I want a prick as head coach who will get on the players and tear 'em a new one when the mess up, so they can lose to ULM."

And the 13 games before that?

His #1 improvement IMO. He seemed to lose one game a year to an unworthy opponent before. He's really made great strides in this department.

Yes, I point to the NC game as an indicator of how much Miles has improved as a coach. If he had truly improved, he wouldn't have stayed with a game plan that most everyone could see was a failure, a quarterback that everyone could see was a failure. If he had truly improved as a coach, there would have been adjustments. Another example of the inexplicable decisions by Miles was seen in the person of Rueben Randle, one of the best receivers in college football who had 13 yards. 13 yards!! Bad decisions on his part which results in such stats are beyond reason.

Miles, while a great person, hasn't significantly improved as a coach. Not at all. And I'm afraid you'll see more of the lack of improvement in the upcoming season. I know I have no confidence anything will be any different.

I have to respectfully disagree.

He doesn't get to the NC by mere luck.

Everything you mentioned goes into the category I brought up about me getting annoyed, frustrated with the man. I'm with you on that.

But I don't agree with your assessment, "he hasn't improved."

But we can talk about this until we're both blue in the face...... to each his own.

Dude does have a point...Tennessee 2005 then 2012 National Championship Game.
But of course Miles is the best coach ever!!!!!

Who said he was the best ever? Is Coach Saban the best? 2010 IB blowing a 24 point lead? Urban? Petrino? Spurrier? Name a coach that hasn't hosed up. It's the double standard of ButthurtNation that is dishonest.
