re: Columnist and former OSU walk-on Barry Tramel with story on newsok.com - VERRRRY

Do I think Les Miles has some problems with his coaching abilities? Yes....

Do I think Les Miles would condone or blind eye illegal or immoral things going on in his program? No, I don't...

Until it is PROVEN to me that Les Miles doesn't TRY his best to adhere to the rules, I'll believe he is simply a man with quirky coaching flaws who is a good man and great coach.

Sometimes his quirkyness works, sometimes it doesn't, but that doesn't make him any less a great coach... Records don't lie, only disgruntled people or those seeking a spotlight...

As a Bama fan through and through, I've come to respect Miles as a coach and while I wouldn't want him in charge of a program I pulled for, that doesn't diminish the fact that he's a proven winner and motivator. I've interviewed players who have played for him and they LOVE the guy and would have walked through fire for him...

That's a coach that deserves respect, that and his undeniable record of success.
