Just a simple question: Do you know more about football than Les Miles?

This is just a simple question and not a jab at all. I want to see who here truly believes they know more about football than LSU's Head Coach.
Not looking for some long play by play explanation. You're welcome to substantiate your position (if you answer yes) in a few, non run-on sentences.
My answer: I do not
go

Absolutely not. Not a SINGLE person on this board does.

no

I don't, but in my defense he has gotten paid to know football since he graduated college. I on the other hand have a full time job that doesn't include football.

No. But that question is irrelevant. The only question that matters is does he know more about football on the offensive side of the ball than any other person he could hire to run it? That answer is also no.

No, but sometimes I think I do.

No.
But that's like saying that you can't criticize anyone, including the President if you haven't stepped into their position.
We are fans, we cheer, we jeer...unfortunately.
In the end, do the fans really matter? do we really have a voice? If that answer is no, then so be it.

Technically speaking, no way.
Common sense goes a long way too.

What's funny is that no one on this board does but will swear on their lives that they do.
On that note, I didn't even read the first reply before I posted mine.
Let me guess, there's MANY people here that says "just because I don't know as much doesn't mean I can't criticize."

Most posters here do. It's obvious.
Posted on 10/9/12 at 10:23 am to CharlesLSU
Answer is no. Come on, if you did you would be making millions as a head coach.
this is stupid.

No, and as stated earlier on the thread no one on this board knows more. We as fans do have access to something that coach Miles does not have during the game though. TV and instant replay. These two things make hindsight and second guess play calling and scheme easy to do from the armchair or the beer pong table. Coach Miles does need to reevaluate the teams offensive philosophy and since he is getting paid somewhere around $4 million per year I am sure that he is.

I'm a safety professional and one of my responsibilities is to perform audits/Observations on other facilities across the country. When I walk onto a site I will run across opportunities to improve that are difficult to spot, you must dig and review procedures. Then there are time I see opportunities that the most uneducated, no training, blundering fool could point out. Does that say I know more than that facilities employees/ leadership?? That I am more educated or greater experience level?? The answer is simply no.
As humans we become complacent and almost blind to the hazards around us. Our risk level is much lower due to the fact we're around the hazard daily. I feel like that's what has happend to CLM. Take a look at his coaching style from 2006-2008. He didn't get the nick name MADHATER due to playing soft vanilla offense. He has become complacent.....

No.
But can I ask some related questions?
- Are coaches (any of 'em) infallible?
- Do coaches have blind spots?
- Aren't coaches assessed on not only what they actually accomplish but also on what they within reason could have accomplished?

So what I take from this thread is that:
you can't criticize any public officials if you haven't been in public office.
you can't criticize movies/actors if you've never been in a movie.
you can't criticize any sports performances if you've never played a down, had an at-bat, bounced a ball competitively in your life.
Well shite Charles, you are the only qualified to do any one of these aren't you?
And my post is probably stupid and asinine, but since when does being a fan mean that you can't be vocal?

I don't know more than Lou Tepper or Curley Hallman, either.
I guess they are beyond criticism.

I personally do not "but" I compare him to his peers and the product of his competition.
I think he is a great head coach. I enjoy his qwirky demeanor repping LSU.
I don't like the offense he controls.
All I see is confusion, predictability, scheming scared, delayed instructions to the field before snapping the ball. I think that all of this happens on every offensive series. The players would perform much better if they broke the huddle with the damn play and dictated the game for once. The reason they don't know the assignment is because they get it a second before the ball is hiked.

No we don't. It's clear some people know shite about football. If the offensive players EXECUTE almost any play can be successful.

Considering he has been around the game of football since before most on this board were born, probably not.
