yeah the chicken/egg argument is whether they have issues recruiting QBs or developing QBs


It is definitely both.

We're talking 8 years here.

There's no other explanation. The kids out there having more success in that time span are doing it as early as their redshirt freshman season.

There's just no way to sugar coat it anymore.

The answer to this question is NO WAY would he be playing QB for us with Mett on the roster. Miles is in love with the big QB. Just look back at the JaMarcus Brooks/Matt Flynn situation. Flynn was always the better QB, but Miles loves that big armed monster back there slinging the rock for him. JF would be a slot receiver or a CB/S on our team.

Recruiting sick talent is 1 thing Miles can do. He gets the horses. Problem is, once he gets them he doesn't always know what to do with them - Shep and T. Holliday. Once he saw Shep couldn't be an effective thrower and had hands of stone he should have made him a DB. Instead of pigeon holing Holliday into a special teams guy only, he should have made him a slot or Percy Harvin role.

Coaches are supposed to see guys and put them in the best spot to help the team be productive to win. Evaluate talent and mold his system/gameplans to the talent that he has to be successful. Miles is incapable of this.

One last question - Who was the last OLman to be a successful OCoordinator? This is not a knock on Stud. My point is, lineman line up and slam heads all game, very little thought to the position other than a blocking assignment. Miles is a lineman. Our OC is a line coach. Most successful OC's are former QB's. Know why? You have to process information very very fast to be successful as a OC. OC's have to be highly intelligent people. You have to react on the fly. You need to adjust from play to play, series to series, run this play to set one up in the 3rd quarter. You need continuity. You need 1 thought process. Miles doesn't belong anywhere near the offense. He should learn how to manage the clock and learn how to use his timeouts and get the hell out of the way.

If and only if this happens, we will once again rise to the top of the SEC.
