A Good Source Tells Me Stud should be fired.

My source is my brother in law who is a high school Head Coach in the Shreveport Area. He coached one of Miles Olineman who graduated last year I believe. This LSU Alum told him that Stud has the worst practice he has ever been a part of. (And he was there through $abun' last year). Said that Searells (Sorry for the bad spelling) spent alot of time on technique at practice and Stud spends no time on it. Used Hitt as only one example of a player that should have gotten better but has not. Believes Coach Miles will let him go and also thinks Miles SHOULD fire Crowton. From an ex-player this is stunning when you consider Coach Miles was an O-lineman. Take it FWIW.

You have to hire coaches and let them do their jobs, with that said, if things are not working or a certain area is subpar, it is the head coach's job to step in and fix it.
After the defensive problems of last year, I credit Miles for stepping in and fixing the problem - our LB's were night and day better this year with Chavis, less coverage breakdowns too with Cooper, jury still out on Haley but a talent upgrade at that position would help.
Offensively this year, the line underperformed, Stud should go or Miles should've been more hands on day to day. Crowton's play calling left a lot to be desired but not knowing when and how Miles impacted game day calls on the field it's hard to lay all the blame on Crowton.
The QB play has not been up to par and that is on Crowton - there not prepared or they have been placed in positions there not ready for yet.

Also my Brother In Law played at Nicholls with Frank WIlson and has kept in touch with him. Says if Miles could get him it would be a great hire as he is a very good coach. Again FWIW

Stud is terrible. I read a piece on Big Herm last year that quoted scouts saying he had some of the worst footwork and technique they had ever seen. Those are fundamentals that should have been corrected his freshman year.

OK, i'll bite. We only had 2 senior linemen last year. Big Herm, who was from Texas, and Helms who was from Arkansas. So did your brother in law move from Texas or Arkansas??

True, which was 2004, which is on Saban and Searles. Stud sucks, but the previous regime wasn't much better at developing O-linemen either.

Neither I dont believe this lineman ever started.

I understand that, but if his BIL coaches in Shreveport, and the only 2 senior linemen from last year came from Texas and Arkansas, then something doesn't add up there.
It doesn't really matter though, I'm not doubting what the original guy said, I was just being nosy and trying to figure out who the player is

...which is always forgotten in the rush to slam Miles and the current coaching staff, IMHO.

Without giving you my BIL name I guess you need to take FWIW. Or find the HC of a highschool that played at Nicholls while Frank Wilson was their RB and then you can figure out the rest. A lot of work though

Does he coach at Airline in Bossier City by any chance?
Posted on 12/4/09 at 2:32 pm to OldManRiver

If it's forgotten it's because it's completely irrelevant.

should?
I have a source, too, telling me something needs to happen - me. >.>
Have you heard anything saying he will? Or am I misreading "should" as "ought to be" when it should (heh) read "probably will be"?

That is BS..Searles was good at developing talent, the issue was Saban had trouble recruiting OL talent..Searles MAY have been an example of a great position coach but a bad recruiter...
