When he says this, he indicts himself.

You are damn right, coach. They just need to throw better, block better, run crisper routes, catch the balls that are there, tackle better, remain composed, play with passion/pride, etc.

Yes. They need to execute better.......good coaches handle these things.

Guys, it's not the scheme. It's the current staffs inability to coach fundamentals.

You're right, coach.

Charles, do you think they fundamentally tried to change anything? I know it looks the same to the average fan but maybe 'football' guys noticed some nuances of change.

In my opinion there may have been an intention to change after he came within a breath of being terminated, but that dissipated quickly. Saturday was about vindication. I believe he wanted to show that his philosophy or scheme, with an all-American tailback, experienced QB, the return of the injured fullback, & talented linemen & receivers could power its way over a decent Wisconsin team on a national stage and it would serve as a giant thumb in the eye of the doubters.

A convincing victory with a few hundred yards rushing and a couple of hundred yards passing would prove that the fans, administrators, and pundits were wrong. It would validate his coaching style, and he could make the detractors eat crow. To have success with a different style would have only proved the 'outsiders' right at the expense of his pride and legacy.

He is a 'true believer'. His press conference revealed this. It also revealed that this was his 'recipe' all along for the last nine months and that the ingredients that LSU has will only be arranged for success if there is an intervention. God save us from the true believer.

The key to successful coaches isnt scheme but execution and fundamentals. Nick Sabans forte' is crisp execution, discipline, and rage. It's not some exotic plan because it doesn't need to be.

Hell, go back to Peterson at BSU. That was a blend of both. He had to be creative to bridge talent gaps, but he made sure his players were executing properly to pull it off.

I can come up with the simplest flag football plays for my little guys but if they can't do anything but eat boogers, we're fricked.

Fundamentals means basic coaching. You're missing my point.

That sounds so very close to Curley Hallmans favorite response to fan and media questions which was " We just gotta get better". We know how that turned out.

Apologies for the misunderstanding. Maybe he believes that his style along with the amount of talent transcends or makes unnecessary the attention to detail that you note is lacking.

Valid point one-fifty.

Bet it's a combo of both-- arrogance like you said...& unwillingness to put the work in the learn something new. He's become too complacent, and the first time his seat was on fire threw in the towel. It's over

His offensive line isn't as good as last years or the year before. When they are missing assignments that throws all execution out the window. Couple that with a QB who makes poor decisions who have Miles last season at LSU. It's been talked about in couple of threads he has been out recruited when it comes to lineman for several seasons. Add to that an outdated offensive philosophy and you get what we have today.

"Coach, what do you think about the execution of your offense"


"I'm in favor of it!"

We saw the differences in their mindsets... Miles thought at halftime they passed well while Saban was pissed post-game at his offensive line after destroying USC.

That's why Saban has become the best ever while Miles isn't even average anymore.

Even worse it took 11 years for it all to come to light for some.

What the imbecile doesn't understand is that the opposing defense executes our offense better than we do; I.E.= they know what play is being called before we even run it.

How many times are we going to recycle the same topics over and over again?

As many times as the 'toss dive' into a stacked box is run?

You can include all 11 years. Besides 2008, the first 7 years were pretty good. 2011 was dominant until 1/9/12. Saban took Miles balls that night.

I'm not saying Miles wasn't a bafoon during this time or made some boneheaded moves, but the offense was effective on most seasons. 2011 dominated all season except first half of SEC championship game and we know about 1/9/12.

Miles has lost it and needs to go, but to say all 11 years is just wrong.

That and the fact that he always saw a lot of positive out on the field after a loss.

Josh Boutte executed a pretty damn good clothesline.

Don't forget "turn some runs into touchdowns." If Les had a fairy God Mother we'd be unstoppable.

I understand what you are saying but scheme is more important than you are leading on...of course without execution and fundamentals it doesn't matter what scheme you are running but running a spread scheme can definitely aid in executing blocks since there aren't as many defenders at the POA.
