Statements like this are why it is hard to support Les

"The back end of the game being up 30-10, defensively we need to understand the situation that our opponent is in. We were all on the sidelines telling them that this was the time they were going to take a deep shot. We got that communicated to the field, but the difference is they didn't understand exactly what we were saying. It was a young corner in his first start, but a very talented corner that will eventually get this right and understand how to cover those routes. "

He always blames someone else. Just like when he blamed JJ for spiking the ball when he was clearly signalling for it. The fact is that they were in man coverage at the three yard line with a true freshman in the game. Patrick peterson said he was not in because they wanted to get young guys in. Maybe play some zone and not give up the big play while your best player is out. That is a coaching misstake and I just want him to admit it.

He's saying that the coaching call was correct and that it was an individual mistake. There's nothing wrong with clearing up a misconception.

It's pretty obvious it was an individual mistake too. It's also pretty obvious (after the fact) that Les was not calling for a spike during the Ole Miss game last year.

im not sure what you wanted him to say here. He said what happened but also said that he was very talented but inexperienced and he will learn.

It's a coaches job to MAKE them understand. When your making $4 million a year it's your JOB to MAKE sure they understand, get the crap fixed.

Another coaching error. Wait till the nails have been driven into the coffin and then put the young puppies in.

I bet you almighty Saban would have said the exact same thing.

I recall him throwing Jamarcus Russel under the bus on many occasions when he did stupid crap... Saban would claim later in his pressers that he expressly warned him not to do.

What college DB wouldn't "understand" what that meant? Miles is a liar.

Talk about laying blame. Why don't you save this crap for when and if we lose a game.

You're the head coach. It's your job to ensure the players know exactly what you are saying and exactly what you want them to do. Especially if you are playing a freshman.

Is that why they left a freshman corner man-to-man on UNC's best receiver?

I think Les is full of shite. It's more likely he didn't have a clue.

Saban does the same thing all the time, by the way. He's always throwing players under the bus.

Um...it was THE PLAYER who screwed up. Players actually make mistakes sometimes, you moron. But don't let this cool your hatred for Miles one bit, I'm sure you could do a much better job....a-hole.
