The Mad Hatter
During the 2007 season, Miles received the nickname "The Mad Hatter," in reference to his risky play calling, outspoken nature and defiant attitude. The nickname is also a reference to his trademark white team baseball cap, which he has worn all through his coaching career. In response to his critically acclaimed play-calling, Miles stated that "if you have play-makers, you're obligated to turn them loose."
Has he had too much Mercury in his Mashed Potato's? Yes.
