Per 680thefan yesterday, Miles only over-rules the really "F'd up" play calls...

Just sharing some interesting info, IMO. I was driving home yesterday in Atlanta and one of the radio host on 680thefan reportedly by way of someone he knows close the LSU team stated Miles only over-rules "the really F'd up play calls". The host stated per the inside source that the play-calling is Coach Stud's show all the way. The reason this came up was obviously because of LSU's offensive woes ahead of the Alabama game and the mind-boggling follow-up play to the 9-play rushing drive which fell apart following the stop route in the red-zone that resulted in a loss of yards instead of continuing to run the ball. Of course they covered the dropped passes and Mett's stuggles and the need to return to what LSU does best which is run the ball.

All of the offensive coaches have input on which play is called when. Stud, Krags, Wilson, and Miles. The key is execution. Any play can be successful if executed right

I usually trust what I see but this one has me questioning myself. But I do think it goes to show that even the so called "expert" analysts don't look very close.

Go back and look at the CST version of the replay so you can see more of the field. LSU was in hurry up mode and line up in three wides with Hill the lone back. Landry was in the slot to the left and TAMU left him completely uncovered! The TAMU safety can be seen racing madly from the right to the left right before the snap in an effort to get to Landry.

It looked to me that there was an "eye contact" audible called between Mett and Landry. On the snap the line down blocked as if the call was a stretch play with Hill to the right. Even Hill looks as if he was expecting the ball. Mett makes the throw to Landry but with the safety on the dead run pre snap he got there in time to gum up the play.

Point being, that this particular call is being bandied about as one of the main arguments proving the coaches are clueless in play calling in the red zone, and I think they are getting a bad rap on this one. Check it out and let me know if I'm just seeing things.

hearsay evidence is worth little although that is pretty much what I assume is happening. Stud only calls bad plays when they don't work or the other guys' kids make a play and unless we score five-oh many people aren't happy. what is going on is either bad scheme...bad execution...we're not as good as we thought...or a little bit of all dat. I'll take 7-1....but I also, like everyone on this board, want improvement. frankly, I'd pay money to get Petrino on campus to do some "consulting" with Stud and Krags and let them brainstorm for a couple of days just to see what shook out. JMO...but what the frick do I know.

get fricking creative.

Somehow the wheel route to Connor Neighbors made it into the game the other week. That being said, I'd hate to see the "really fricked up play calls."

This is what Miles wants offensively.

if you're talking about that quick throw to Jarvis, I'm pretty sure that's a check Mett made. I believe A&M wasn't lined up yet and it looked like he was uncovered, so Mett threw i hoping Jarvis could just get into the end zone quickly.

I was listening when this was said. It was Chuck Oliver. I know he's in Atlanta but he does have "a guy" for pretty much every SEC team and most ACC and CUSA teams. Whether or not "his guy" every really knows anything is another story. But he does always have some inside info. He's very connected with Auburn. He did graduate from there tho.
