Miles shows coaching weakness.....again.

i can't fault the coaching wholesale. Sure, we can always say what if. I was surprised that Ridley wasn't back in the game after his touchdown.

NO, this staff and the team lost their nerve. We came out with confidence. the last 3 minutes of the half we went back in our shell just trying to get out of the half.

Same thing at the end of the game -only it started early in the 4th quarter. and i'm talking about the offense, who let us down again. Mainly by not holding on to the ball. we left the defense out there too long. this is a good defense but they have a hard time pressing 3 & outs.

we flat out wen't back into our shell. I do see signs of improvement. we should finish 9-3; and i am optimistic we will be 10-2.

Lee could have played one or two series a game every game this year. That way when he had to play, it wouldn't be such a shock. Miles did the same thing with JJ

And if LM would have done this, you would have bitched about JJ needing to get all the reps he can! People like you look for anything to bitch about!

The Lee deal is a joke and he needs to transfer!

I told you, Bertman's lazy didn't even look for a coach when we hired Miles. Our typical half arse way of doing things will continue to bite us in the arse.

Although Miles is an excellent, kind, tough, and smart coach, coaches need criticism just like the billions of other paid workers. First, some continuing mistakes that are unjustifiable based on past experience.
1) Fielding a confused offense:
The quarterback and team are either not experienced enough or not coached well enough for sophisticated substitutions and a no-huddle offense. Fans have to hold their breath before most offensive snaps (because of the delay and shifting) waiting for some kind of procedure penalty. The procedure penalties are a symptom of the confusion going on in the minds of the players even AFTER the snap. Huddle up, call the play, and snap the ball. Trust the quarterback with only as many audibles as he can handle.
2) Not putting Russell Sheppard in the game and leaving him there; and not giving him the ball especially when we had Alabama on the run in the first half. That was a great opportunity missed.
3) Running the option to the short side.
Bottom line: Good recruiting and talented players on offense are being held back by mediocre coaching. A well-executed simple offense would not only have scored more points but also would have kept the ball out of Alabama’s powerful offense just long enough to win. Miles is smart enough to do better.

Second, mental mistakes many amateurs could see:
1) Going for two points long before the end of the game; as a result, we were two scores away at the end of the game. This robbed our players of spirit on their final set of downs.
2) The most glaring: In the second half, stopping LSU’s overwhelming first half pass rush; a good run defense can occur if the pass rushers are properly coached. Besides, LSU was being mowed down. For goodness sake, what were they waiting for? To be fair, they might have been waiting for the offense to move the ball, but that was not happening consistently because of the three reasons above, at the least.

we really haven't had a lot of big leads this season to get Lee into games as much as you would like to see.

These bishes keep getting dumber by the post.

Any coach (and it may well be many/most of them) that doesn't give their backup QB some snaps as the season goes is making a pretty huge and moronic mistake.
