Do you consider Miles aggressive? Unorthodox?

He's big 10 minded and always will be. That will always be the mold from which his entire coaching/gameplaning style will be carved from

*traditional big10

i'll give the big10 credit, at least in terms of offensive philosophy. they adopted the spread and spread option all across their conference long before any other BCS conference did

why do you care what other idiots around here think about this particular subject?

i like to try to understand how other people think and what goes into their thought process

do i expect some retarded answers? yes. i rarely even mock those anymore. i may just put in response

i'm sure there are some smart/relatively smart people who think miles is aggressive. i want to know why. it has to be more than just the occasional trick play or fake

baloo, for instance, doesn't think that the fakes are "aggressive," if memory serves. he think they're calculated. i agree

and the fourth downs against UF don't count. going for the TD was the right move there, and was aggressive, but all the other ones we HAD to go for. time was running out and we were down. you always go for 4th downs when time is running out and you're down

i have somewhat

our D under miles has always been zone-based and mainly rush 4, drop 7. we haven't been man/blitz heavy at all really

our O has always been based around the traditional i-form, grind it out style. even when we had JR, early, bowe, and buster, we didn't pass it that much. we tried to run, run, run out of the i-form, even if it didn't work

just wait, one day you'll see him use the punt block play on an obvious running down...

I'm trying to think of top programs that are "aggressive" or "unorthodox". Florida on offense maybe?

When I think of an unorthodox coach I think of mike leach or Paul Johnson. They're usually at the type of program that has to Do something different in order to make up for their lack of talent.

I think this is one of those threads where SFP doesn't properly define his terms, has already made up his mind, and just shoots down everyone's suggestions for 6+ pages.

USC is very aggressive on D and runs a pro-style like LSU, but they set up deep passes and use RB screens much more than LSU. they anticipate the D calls and try to set up the D. we seem to be more of a "we're going to do this over and over, out-muscle you, and you have to stop us" mentality

I dunno man, in bowl games it seems like Les tries to pile it on. OSU, throwing a TD pass up 14 with like 2 minutes. Fake punt late against Ga Tech, and the deep pass to Lafell late in the game.

I think when he smells blood, he goes for it, but I do agree that he doesn't try that from the get go many times
