Define Les Miles involvement in the playcalling

When we're too conservative. I have been lead by this board to believe Les is forcing our offensive staff to be too conservative.
When we try to force the passing game, such as last night, it's Les sticking his grubby hands in the offense.
When an offensive player meets or exceeds expectations, it's because Les didn't get involved with his development.
When a player fails or busts, it's because Les personally squashed his development.
So pretty much what I gathered is the following
A) If something works, it could be for one of two reasons
1) Les allowed his coaches to coach without his meddling
2) The player made the play solely due to his talent, despite the coaching which took place on this specific play
i) It is important to note in this case, the player was coming to LSU regardless of the head coach, Miles did not have any involvement in his recruitment
B) If something goes wrong
1) Les's fault

Any and all lack of execution lands in his lap. There has been no QB development the last 5 years, with poor clock management, high penalty rate and overall lack of execution. Happy now?

Not a good time for this post (though I agree). Prepare yo anus.

Everything good and bad starts and stops with the head coach.....he is the CEO and makes the most money.
Questionable decisions like passing on 2nd and 2 and 3rd and 2 with 1.5 minutes to go will get you fired from a fortune 500 company much quicker than you would get praise from the same BS decisions working.

I don't know what Les's involvement in the play calling is but I do know that the offense had been awful for 5 years. I'm pretty sure that's his responsibility.

I am going to hold judgement on qb' s until after next year. JJ/Lee were both below average guys. I want to see what mett can do next year. I hope we get a few physical WR that can be a threat. Then I will say he can't develop a QB.

I don't think this applies to Les Miles. Surely, no one would fail to give him praise for the good things he's done? Not this rational fanbase.

Play calling is not the problem. Offensive philosophy is.
Running into the teeth of Clemson's defense was not working.
We could not convert 3rd and 1 against Clemson by runing up the middle.
