How Miles can save his job and this program

I've been an LSU fan for a long time (ever since I can remember, 1960)and the one thing I have learned is the term "Field General". There are various management skills people acquire throughout thier adult life. They either take charge or allow input and consider that input or they let the "inmates run the aslyum". We used to "rant" about how much of a tyrannt Nick Saban was and he just wanted to do it his way and nobody was to have input. Now we have a coach that allows all kinds of input and sometimes, I feel, he allows certain things or people have too much of the decision makeing power for the team. I appreciate his "manning up" on the T-O issue and clock management. But all good executives must have underlings that will provide unbiased advice and counse at critical times because of "information overload". Folks making $4mil should have this counsel during critical times. Jeez, what a rant. Anyway, i am sure there are folks out there that know players and have asked them (players) how they feel. We have no clue what was said, what the emotions were, who stood and supported the coach, or whatever during team meetings Sat nite upon arrival in BR or during the Sun morn meetings. I would bet there were some tears and heartfelt emotion between coach and player.

Ok- so Miles is not in control. So who is?

From what he said after the game and in his presser yesterday it sounds like the assistants have more pull then they should.

1) "I suggested run"

2) "The call to clock it came from the box"

Miles is the head coach and when it comes to managing the game he should call all the shots.
