Well he has over a 30 point lead against Texas at half and did nothing but run the ball in 2nd half and lost so I would say no

Sean Payton lost to the browns this year so he and brees must suck.

Payton and Brees have a Superbowl Ring. Game planning against NFL defenses are a little more complex than college.

This is exactly why "running up the score" doesn't bother me.

i was just curious, because it seems everyone wants miles to make a "homerun" hire, but they don't want his hands in it (more or les(no pun)), if he was a bad oc he would of NEVER been offered the head coaching gig at okie state. Period.

So now that we have established that les will have his hands in the offense (which he should), then it only makes sense for him to hire someone that wants the same kind of system and someone he can work with. After all, he does not need the big hire, because he is a offensive guy right? the same standard gets applied to saban and muschamp knowing defense and meyer and kelly knowing offense right?

A "slam dunk" would not be one if he could not work with him.

I will trust he will make the right move, stud and gonzo could really surpise. You never know.

Miles has a MNC ring.

One game means nothing for either of them.

If you ask G Crowton and Jimbo Fisher they would say no. Jimbo Fisher even said his last year at LSU if Miles didn't take the play calling away from him at half time of the Auburn game we would have won the game by 3 TDs

It's a good point no doubt, but just seems that Les has established himself as a CEO head coach, and LSU is obviously a school that could attract a good OC. Why go backwards by taking over more of the OC duties when you have the oppurtunity to get someone that could focus on just that.

My brother who is a LSU alum and a DR, had a patient who claimed to play for Les at Meeechigan. He asked my bro if he liked CLM. My brother replied that he did not as a coach but figured he was a fine person. The patient went on to say that he knew a lot of LSU fans felt that way but they were Mistaken about Les as a coach. He said that Les was and I quote "an absolute genius when it came to X an O,s especially on offense.
That happened at the beginning of last year. Since then my brothers opinion on CLM has changed. He now thinks Les is a good coach and thus is shown by the ability to win games without QB production. TIFWIW

How come i NEVER see Miles holding or looking at a play chart? Why the hell do people think he's calling the plays?

Was that when he was OC or head coach? Cause the question was about when he was OC at Okie St.

i guess he needs to feel comfortable with who ever is hired. It's not like he can just leave the offense alone. No coach would. SO he will get someone to run it the way he want's it ran.

most frustrating game EVER!

and what else would you expect jimbo to say, he had the number 1 pick in Jrock and 3 first round recievers.

no doubt they should've scored more.

You think 1 game, or even 1 half, answers this question for you?

I hope you're not being serious.

IF Jimbo said that he is full of shite. He had all fricking game to do something other than running off tackle and wide reciever screens.
