If Miles did take over play calling..

i really don't think it's the plays that are called. i believe it's the qb lack of executing the play. we are not going to line up and run the ball 50 times against quality teams. you need a qb to have a threat of completing a pass.

I was thinking the same thing the whole first half, I was asking myself:"whatever happenned to a God honest run with a simple DAMN I formation?" "Why the hell can we just make this simple?"

All that scheeming crap got us NOWHERE

actually if you noticed from the mid 3rd quarter on Miles didn't have a play chart in his hand. So that would make you think the calls were actually coming from Crowton

GC or Les? Can I have another option?

Billy should call the plays. Fire crowton now

no it cant be another sweep play with shephard...wtf ever its hard to watch

a perfect example of shitty play calling was the end of the second half, when we tried and tried to force the ball to Shepard any way we could instead of just throwing the ball down the field to Tolliver or Randle or Shepard(or Joseph underneath in the seam)

It's the complete and utter lack of capability by our supposed OC/QB coach to recognize how to properly utilize the talent (or lack thereof) on the field. And even moreso how to teach and improve on what he's got to work with.

Yes, JJ played poorly last nite, but what does that say about Crowton in that he's been working with this kid for 3 years, and that's the result?

Crowton needs to be relieved of his duty, and Miles is at fault for not recognizing it sooner

It's GC, he establishes no rhythm trying to run his spread option crap. I hated the hire 4 years ago. LSU has never been a team that needed to run gimic shite to win.

GC is stubborn. When something does work, he abandons it. When something does not work, he stays with it. He does not adjust to what the defense is giving him. He does not recognize mismatches or players strength and weaknesses in certain situations such as field condition. For instance, last year vs Penn St on that muddy field, Trindon Holliday made a shoe adjustment in the 2nd half. TH seemed to be the only player on the field with any kind of traction and provided positive productivity on special teams and limited offensive situations. Camera angles kept showing a pumped up TH on the sidelines, just waiting to get back on the field. GC should have recognized this big mismatch, but TH sat the bench the remainer of the game and you could see the frustration on TH late in the game. I could go on and on with GC's stubborness or inability to recognize a spark for a stagnant offense such as Charlse Scott vs UK in '97, but you get my drift. To be honest, nothing could ever convince me the adjustment LSU made to pound the ball vs Vandy in the 4th quarter was GC's call. GC would have used it once or twice, mixed in with mostly BS sets and LSU would still be searching for an offensive identity.
