We better hope that Miles and company come out of the gate with the right players playing the right scheme. Too many times I've watched him wait until we lose games, or even worse until the season is over to make wholesale adjustments.
You are right in a sense, but I find changing your starting qb in the 2nd sec game an early change. Then reverting to what y'all would call 1950s style ball that won us 3 games and almost a 4th when a lot of people questioned if we would even win an sec game. Then again made changes after the Arkansas debacle.
We saw changes on both sides of the ball after auburn crushed us. I don't really see how you can know how good the young guys are before that, especially when you are destroying the likes of Sam Houston.

I get what you are saying, it's not like Miles doesn't make changes, but as you see from your own response to my post both of the adjustments you mentioned were after losses.
I do think last year was a bit of an aberration given the youth we had, but the trend in Miles tenure is to be a bit late on the adjustments within the course of a season. The staff is decent at adjusting at halftime. I'd say he is strong at game planning overall.
I kind of think this applies to his seasons as well. He tends to make an assessment on his teams strengths and believes his teams talent can overcome the teams weaknesses if they can execute. Then within the season it takes him longer to realize that perhaps the weaknesses were worse than expected or the strengths not as strong. By then it is a little late.
