I don't see why you would even post that.

A Bama fan dissing Les Miles. Want me to find you a thousand more writeups/opinions just like that?

What exactly was the point?

The thing is last week he got the "why take a knee, its disrespectful" .... this week it is "why run up the score, that’s classless." Dude can't win in some people’s eyes.

Exactly, he can't win for losing. And another thing, why is it ok for Petrino to run up the score, but when a team that's going for a national championship and trying to solidify a spot in the title game in the UNLIKELY event that they lose next week does it, everyone gets pissed.

As for the Miles hate, I don't get it either. You can hate on us for being successful, I get that. There will always be haters. You can call our coach goofy because he is, but as far as him being classless, arrogant, smug, or <insert other negative adjective), nothing could be further from the truth and I don't understand why others perceive him this way.

The guy is a moron. Bama beat Arkansas by the same margin yet it doesn't equate to running up the score. Also while great recruiting is a must to build a power program it does not equal championships, case in point Mack Brown. He has always recruited very well at UNC and Texas, how many NCs does he have to show for it?

Bama was ahead 38-14 with :48 seconds to go in the 3rd quarter. Scrub city in the 4th. But oddly, BP still didn't look all that happy. I've laid awake at night worrying about it ever since.

Miles vs Petrino: An outsiders perspective

As a Bammer, I feel I can provided an unbiased (for the most part) perspective on these two men. First Miles:
Miles adopted a winning, legacy class program from Saban. Saban had pretty much built it from the ground up, so Miles had to simply step in the program and keep things rolling. I don't find him a particularly intelligent coach, but a coach capable of getting good coordinators. For the most part, the success of the program provides the recruits. Obviously, he has made his share of stupid calls. However, if you are honest with yourself, the seemingly stupid calls usually work out. I think his OC and DC have saved his butt countless times. Miles reached a new low today, when he attempted to run the score up on an obviously defeated team. Try to justify it if you want, but the undisputed number one team in the country NEVER has a valid reason to show that level of poor sportsmanship and lack of class. It gives the appearance that the coach has stooped to the level of his fan base.

Petrino: did not walk into an established program. Petrino took over a team that had been coached by an impotent leader. The team was mediocre, at best, and required being built from the ground up. Petrino has shown nothing but class since arriving, and has kept moving forward each year. He has gained the respect of the players and the fan base, and been the primary reason that the debates have changed from "how to have a winning season" to "how win the National Championship". Admittedly, his response to Miles poor sportsmanship didn't make him look that great. However, I have to appreciate that he abhors behavior like Miles' and that he cares that much for his team. Personally, I believe Petrino to be a superior coach to Miles. The big difference is Miles got to ride on someone else's heels. Nothing recruits better than a successful program. I believe Petrino is making that happen. I personally feel that better players (and even better coordinators) will be attracted to his program. If Saban left today, I would take Petrino over Miles in a heartbeat.

Bama fan calling himself unbiased is an oxymoron. :geauxtige

Completely biased and ridiculous. Whatever.
