    I like Les Miles. I like the hire. I like his friendly coaching style. I like his press conferences and radio shows. I like the fact that he is confident. I like the fact that he is playing the best quarterback on the roster. I like the fact that the 2nd string QB gets considerably more playing time than the 3rd string QB in blowout games. I could go on...

    A motivator and a leader, he is.


    :hihi:

    Thank you Tirk. BUt if you DONT like to perform on the Jock of Miles you are a "joke" apparently.

    Everyone has a right to their opinion. Some like Miles some Dont.
    I have no beef with anyone who likes Miles, matter of fact I do like the guy, I just dont think he is a great football coach.

    And for the record I think JR should be the Starter, he is the best QB on the roster, that I dont dispute.

    Have your own opinion....But Miles isn't going anywhere for awhile. Either you're gonna be one hissy-fit-throwing sissy until his fired, or you'll try to be a little more productive and actually give fair time to actually get settled in.

    Go to your alter-o-Saban and pray for yesterday.

    Your right. I do pray for yesterday.
    Well i dont pray for anything football related, that is for things other then football. BUT if you must use that analogy, I do pray for top 5 finishes, National Titles, and SEC titles. If I did pray for Football, that is exactly what I would pray for.

    And sometimes you lose. That's part of the game. Sometimes it's coaching, sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's the player's mistakes. Sometimes it's not.

    But in our case, every loss is followed by "Saban would/wouldn't have....".

    It's getting old. People would rather see Miles get fired now as oppossed to giving him a fair shot for fear that they might actually have to eat crow should he--dare I say it--succeed.

    Actually to much amazement, I dont want to see him fired, I would like NOTHING more for him to prove me wrong and to be honest I would be the first to say. You know what man was I wrong.

    I am not even talking about Saban, which is what you keep harping on. I am talking about Les Miles here. Can he or cannot. Saban is gone, will never be back. I am talking about Les Miles. And my opinion is he cannot but I have been wrong before, so it wouldnt be the first time.

    Saban had a much cooler hat than Bryant.

    Saban had 5 years to beat Top 10 teams. And he also beat the crappy SEC teams Ole Miss & MSU & Vandy etc. And had some significant out of conference loses.

    So far, Miles has 2 Top 10 wins in 1.5 years. #3 Alabama & #9 Miami & has not lost to an out of conference team.
