    If Miles stays here more than 5 seasons, I expect him to compete for a NC or two.

    One word: Circumstances. Don't worry - the future is bright. :thumb:

    I do expect Miles to keep us in NC contention regularly, but everyone has down years where you don't. Ironicly, despite our weak offense this year, we were pretty close to being NC contenders. I give Miles credit for that.

    Just as I think it was way too early to write Miles off after the Tennessee loss, I also think it is too early to annoint him as the next Nick Saban. He could still pull a Mike Archer . . . but he is certainly recruiting better than Archer.

    One of the annoying facts about coaches is that it takes three or four years to evaluate their overall performance. We might as well just sit back and watch.

    I hate the off-season.

    For next season, probably. But if he proves himself to be a consistent winner over the next 2 seasons there won't be any more "Miles haters".

    Bull****. We had people calling for Sabans head after our first loss in 2004 against the barn.

    No matter what, some people just won't be happy unless they have 10 NC's in their hands.

    Crawfish will be out for sure...

    We watched Arizona State shred our D and we were shocked. We weren't used to that. Then, we watched Rick Clausen, of all people, pick our zone apart for a 21 point comeback and we were pissed. Nobody had done that to us since Tepper left. In the next game, we watched a freakin' Mississippi State receiver score a TD on their first possession with no defenders within 15 yards of him. By now, froth is beginning to form at the mouths of most fans, including me.

    From that point on, Pelini's defensive system took hold and, except for Georgia, nobody waltzed over LSU.

    Miles problem was that a lot of people never got over the shock and anger from those 1st 9 quarters and could not see fit to embrace the coach who dared to dismantle what Saint Nick had built.

    The Miami game is the first step in bringing those fans back into the fold.

    If there were people calling for Saban's head in 2004, they were in the vast minority. You've more than accounted for them by continuing to bring them up.

    In 2004 I was unhappy with the performance of our team, especially offensively, and I voiced my opinion, but I never called for Saban's head. Maybe it's just that you hear a voice of dissension and assume they want said coach fired. I think we should be free to be displeased when the team looks lame, regardless of the coach.

    Not that we shouldn't support the team...
