It's still miles' fault. I don't care who was qb, who got kicked off the team, what the stats were etc. He is the head coach and it all is on him. Miles is responsible for all of his players and who he recruits.


You are talking about RP and the 2008 & 2009 seasons, I think, blaming the negative on Les. Do you give him positive marks for 2005, 06, 07, 10, and 11?

Just trying to figure out if you are one of those who credits coordinators for wins and blames the head coach for losses.

Then, you are blind because if ever players cost us a game and a title shot it was the Florida 2006 game.

Some people would rather be right and will never admit when they were wrong. 1/9 was a great day for those guys, they get to play that trump card forever.

You are correct. The jury is out.

No its not FACT. He made some bad calls that didn't affect the outcome like the fake FG and the "Warecat" formation after both Alabama went 3 and out. Copeland's penalty was a killer, that's the drive that ended with the fake FG.

Miles is a very successful coach whose primary fault is following and then coaching in the same division as the best in the business.

It like being a top 10 tennis player who always ended up in Roge Federer's bracket. Still a good player, but an unfortunate draw.

Didn't you hear?

It takes over 8 years at the same program to fully assess a head coach. Never mind Saban was only at LSU for 5...I don't think that stopped these same jackasses from giving him a verdict.

Yes the players cost us against Florida 2006. And a phantom hold call in the end zone.

If they do lose the next two games what will be the defense for Miles and his staff? It's a legitimate question to ask what IF we lose the next two, what's wrong with that?


And if we win them like we should?

You still would have dumbasses with these dumb arse questions.

This is correct. People can deny this but they are delusional in their support of Miles. I agree some criticism of Miles is not warranted but his coaching decisions cost us this game.

The PF on Copeland cost us more than any playcall in that game. The only bad call was the fake FG...which wouldn't have even been called if not for the PF. These are what y'all like to call facts.

I think anyone placing any type of blame or judgment on Coker for his time as a head coach at Miami is a little more than naive.

The whole program was out of control and no coach could prevent its unraveling.

Kick the field goal on the fake then you almost have to kick the field goal instead of the Ware Cat ( I say almost because you still have Milies making these decisions ). That is 6 points and you win the game.
"What if you miss one of those field goals" you ask? Then the game plays out different but we will never know because the coaching decisions like it or not cost us this game.

If it wasn't for the PF none of that is even being discussed
