Les is basically a GM..he has very little SAY in much game planning or playcalling..at times he may give a suggestion, and obviously he is informed as to what's going on, but for the most part he oversees the whole team..point being he will hire someone who has a strong background in developing qbs AND someone who can drive what at times in the past few years has been a runaway train...

On defense yes, but Les does have his hand in the offense quite a bit. The players will tell you and Crowton alluded to it in his exit speech.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the 'Les meddles and calls all the plays and won't let offensive co-ordinators do anything' meme is about as accurate as the 'Les won't play freshman' meme.

You have no clue what the hell you're talking about, and your signature line is quite antithetic to your knowledge.

Aside from the fact this sentence is barely readable, how do you know what he does (or doesn't do) in game planning or play-calling?

Chavis himself has stated his belief that in game-planning Miles is a talented tactician.

Grammar corrected--apologies ATR...been to quite a few practices, meetings, etc...not doubting his abilities as a playcaller, just know he has limited input...hard for any major BCS Head Coach to have input...not saying it cant be done, just hard to do...

Game-planning meetings?

Nice. Describe those meetings. I'd love to be a fly on the wall.

I guess I find it unlikely that the head coach would not have very much SAY in the game-plan. Seems more likely that he'd have final say.

But what do I know.

Different Head Coaches have varying amounts of input...Saban is a HC with Heavy input...So does Sean Payton..Miles has input but it is limited..

Les has said himself that he is very involved in the offense and it will always have his signature on it.
