I don't get the whole "Miles is a total idiot" narrative. His in game decisions are occasionally batshit crazy. But he has an aggressiveness that UM might need. He is not, imo, a very good game manager, but he is lightyears beyond some idiots.

Remember 2005? A rather large hurricane hit south LA. I remember it well -- I attended LSU at the time. The whole area was disrupted. May on the team were personally affected. JaMarcus Russell famously had his family staying in his apartment in Baton Rouge. We went 11-2 that year, finishing off by beating the stuffing out of Miami.

In game, Miles is overaggressive, often suboptimal. But there is more to being a good coach than game management. Miles knows how to put a team together, and is a hell of a good recruiter. UM could do much worse. So could LSU. I will not be thrilled to see him go. But if he does, I will wish him all the best at UM. He has kept up a level of excellence at LSU, and I will always appreciate it.
