And so the debate , does the coach make the program, or does the program make the coach? The answer is of course, both. Got to believe the demands that the Tigers have made on Miles to win championships has been felt by Miles at a more intense level than the demands of okie st. Saban has been caught up in the euphoric excitement and expectations of a crazed football state like Alabama. It's not to be met with the expectations of Michigan State. As far as schedule, you fight for every inch you can. I didn't like bye weeks in 2010. They were impossible to overcome, again. Getting 6 well rested SEC teams in a row, with two weeks to prepare. No matter how anyone else in the league feels, I didn't like it. It was an advantage for someone else. So you play the games, but I still don't like it. Side note: Miles may have to live with that Paterno record thing.
