re: Let's hear from those complaining about the Miles "offensive philosophy"

only the Mississippi State game was horrible if LSU would had just a few more mnutes they would of beat miss st !

The man called out the stupids and yall are raising your hands !

quote:

---

Against Miss State, not so much, as they have NFL size DT's

---

"style" had nothing to do with losing to state. it had to do with the timing of the game and how many returning starters they had.

but you're right about ole miss. if miles had more "balance" like negas want, they would have FREAKED OUT that he wasn't running the ball more. they constantly shift the goalposts and will only be happy when miles is gone.

quote:

---

I simply believe there is an easier way to win that going 9 yards over 7 carries

---

I have already pointed out that teams that run an alternative offense strategy are not winning more than miles over any time period except for the last few games.

negas - you have no idea if having more offense "balance" would win more games.

quote:

---

there is still a way to go

---

how can you watch last season with mett slinging it all over the place and think the coaches aren't already striving for better?

quote:

---

Miles' offense could be improved with more QB development

---

you think they don't know this? miles has already completely forgotten what it's like to throw for 3k yards

quote:

---

that it is not a strength of Miles' tenure

---

I've already shown this to be false.

quote:

---

Russell/Flynn spent 2 years under different leadership

---

miles called the plays. miles ran practice. miles reviewed game film. your statement is just plain ignorant.

quote:

---

As is the same story for Mettenberger.

---

once again, see above

quote:

---

Now the complaint is we only scored 10

---

yep. constantly shifting goalposts.

after 2011, the meme shifted to "we should have won more championships." as if that can be substantiated in any way. after last season - lsu didn't REALLY throw the ball that much. they were just EFFICIENT. good grief you people are incorrigible

I've accepted this seasons philosophy is out of necessity because LSU doesn't have a QB who can consistently throw the ball. The offensive line and the defense look improved, maybe this style will be effective from here on out.

It was a real issue until two games ago but some aspects of this team improved making it less problematic. Pray for ow scoring games though

You're acting like I'm expecting a pass on every down. The only reason we had a remote chance in the Moo game was through Harris' efforts through the air. Each game is different. A balanced approach will be needed against Bama. 2 weeks to prepare. Hopefully they will work hard on a couple high percentage passing plays to throw in.

Hell, they are even running a spread package in Bama on occasion. It just gives the running game a boost so defenses don't key in. Plenty of teams who pass a little more than us are finding success. Georgia, Ole Miss, Bama, Moo State, Auburn, Florida State, Oregon, and anyone that doesn't have 2 losses.

I am not so negative, like others on here, that think Miles is clueless and lucky and not thinking things through. I like him as our coach. There are aspects of the game that show he coaches well and adjusts: offensive line improvements , rushing improvements, special team improvements, defense improvements. These have all been corrected at a much faster pace. QB hasn't improved like those

The philosophy of being a control the line of scrimmage, run-base, power, strong D team is something I totally want and support. But I just want to be able to sling it when we need to. I think we have the talent, but since it's lagging other areas and there isn't a strong history of development of the QB position from the college, entry-level base by Miles...it concerns me and I criticize that one aspect most.

i'm talking about the incessant 2nd guessing which i have addressed multiple times in multiple threads. no one can prove that doing something differently is going to make things better. in the meantime, miles continues to keep his team at the top of the toughest conference while avoiding the pitfalls that other teams have gone through.

Georgia, Ole Miss, Bama, Moo State, Auburn, Florida State, Oregon, and anyone that doesn't have 2 losses.

first, the season isn't over. 2nd, go back before this season and those teams aren't better and in some cases worse. third, state has an unusual situation this seasons which will change drastically next season so they aren't a good example. fl state and oregon have easier sos so they're not good examples.

QB hasn't improved like those

there isn't a strong history of development of the QB position from the college,

he's capable and i've provided examples that refute the nega narrative

quote:

---

it's a bit disingenuous to state that Saban only has won more than Les when both Auburn and Bama have won 2 SEC titles since '08. That's two schools, not just one. Got it?

---

The conversation is about second guessing miles and how other teams are faring better with a different system. Auburn is not a good example. Chizik had a once in a decade player and got fired after that because he sucks and you want to use that as proof that auburn is showing how miles can do it differently?

Malzahn was 2 ridiculous, miraculous plays from being no better than miles. Moreover, MILES BEAT HIM STRAIGHT UP. Yet, you want to use him as an example of how to do it better. Let's see malzahn keep it up for another 5 years at least before we put him in miles' category.

quote:

can you give equal credit

---

One flash in the pan year does not support your point that others have been "as good as miles"

quote:

---

And K-State didn't

---

Yes they did. 5 trips to the red zone. Multiple unforced errors and they held auburn to well below their usual totals.

quote:

---

'13 happened alright. But that's the exception.

---

No it isn't. Good grief how many times do these points have to be repeated? Jamarcus, flynn, lee before the bama game. You are wrong on this point

quote:

---

And by your definition we were only average in the SECW last year.

---

Overall but, not on offense. A 3k yard passer is not average.

If you don't believe me regarding the more conservative approach to O post-'08, call 225-499-9898 at 12:30 AM on 11/9/14 and ask Charlie to fill you in.

---

So he's going to explain away lee having good numbers in '11 and mett in '13?

quote:

---

But he went too conservative after '08

---

Support without appealing to some other hack. Man up and explain 2011 and 2013 while considering 2006 and 2007

quote:

---

and he needs to adjust course some.

You have no idea whether that's going to make things any better. You're just parroting something you heard in order to disparage miles. If that weren't the case you wouldn't be complaining because you would realize that miles has won more games with his strategy than anyone other than a short list of legendary coaches. You aren't saying anything he doesn't already know and isn't already working on and the proof is that he's done multiple times before what negas are complaining about

i could say the same thing about the negas. they keep apeing the same points no matter how many times they're proven wrong. they won't be happy until miles is gone and they have no guarantee that things will be better. it's impossible for them to enjoy any success miles has because he didn't win a certain kind of way.
