"I felt the QB we had in the game gave us the best chance because of his feet and ability to run."
"I considered putting Jarrett Lee into the game, but I was concerned about the pass rush he would be getting."


Damn man, just give up then. If he just assumed our OL could not block for Lee and that Bama's pass rush would be strong and that we couldn't stop it, why even try? He was accepting defeat in the 3rd quarter!

Has he not heard of halftime adjustments?
Different blocking schemes to alleviate the 'ferocious' pass rush? Quick slants, bubble screens, button-hooks, mis-direction screens, play-action, wild-cat formtions with Shepard?

If Lee had come in to start the third quarter, the Dome would have gone crazy, the O-line would have been fired up, and the backs and receivers would have been chomping at the bit to get the ball.
The momentum would have swung, the morale of the team would have been lifted ten-fold.

It's a damn shame.........

Him telling Erin Andrews he thought it was "fair" that JJ should play the whole game.

I'm so mad at him, and yet I feel sorry for this guy. He must know by now what an absolutely bad job he did coaching before the entire nation. He may not admit it out loud but he knows. At least I hope he knows...

I was pissed when I heard that too......that Bama's rush meant we had to have a mobile QB.

OK, so what do we do next year.....we don't have mobile QB's next year. So we just give up and call quick bubble screen passes for 50 plays a game? We run the fullback on 3rd down like we did the other night?

Hell Bama's QB wasn't mobile either. What did they do? Did they crumble, fall down and lay in their own piss like we did? Huh, they threw fades over and over again for completions, QB bootlegs to the TE that we never stopped all night.

There's 50 different things we could have done off the top of my head and I'm not a damned college offensive coordinator.

I thought his line about Bama "teeing off" was the most telling.

I mean, that's basically saying that there was nothing he could do.

The coach simply CANNOT take that line of thinking DURING a game!!!!

So our stable overflowing with bluechip running backs can't do that?

He doesn't think any coach makes halftime adjustments...just see Tennessee 2005 for that. You make a plan and stick to it throughout no matter what, right?

How about putting in our fullback to alleviate the goddamn defensive rush? How about throwing to the tight end a time or 2, since this was not done all season long? How about play action passes? How about something other than accepting defeat at halftime with the single game plan that was taken off of the bus?



I took up for Miles many times and now have no clue why.

But you left out everyone would have been holding their breath he would throw a pick 6! It's not about adjustments when Lee freaks out when playing Bama's defense.

The Saints, Patriots, and Giants need to switch to a mobile QB when they face teams with a good pass rush.......per Miles
