You are Miles - give me your plan

Okay. You wake up this morning and you are Les Miles. You know what your limitations are. What's your specific plan for the Arky game, the bowl game and next season? For the sake of argument, lets go out on a limb and say you aren't going to resign in a noble gesture to the program and aren't going to take another job. We're talking strategy and tactics here.

Mine off the top of my head:

1) Pull GC's play calling duties immediately. In his place either (a) if you have one offensive assistant you feel comfortable doing it, give him the duties for this one game; or (2) take the responsibllity on yourself - first elicit input from all offensive staff and the senior offensive players, then put together a play calling plan and take responsibility for it with the team before the game.

2) RR starts the game as 3rd WR/slot receiver and plays at least half the offensive snaps.

3) RS plays as much as possible - halfback/runningback or qb in wild tiger. If he is really having trouble remembering plays, etc. put him in every time we take over the ball with 2 plays that he knows before he goes in. Have him throw the ball the 1st or 2nd time he touches it.

4) Use the huddle. Forget the meerkat. If you need to run the plays in with players. Then go to the line of scrimmage and run the play. No looking to the sidelines.

5) Make a deal with Chavis (in writing if necessary) that you will give him $5,000.00 for each 3rd down stop and $10,000.00 for each 3 and out.

6) Tell the offense that anyone who is flagged for illegal procedure, delay of game, jumping offsides, etc. rides the bench for at least a series or two (yeah, including the QB). Tell them if they go the whole game without getting more than 1 such penalty you will reward them (with whateveer you can under NCAA guidelines).

7) Institute that clock coach/time out manager guy you were talking about.

8) Tell your family you love them but you might not be seeing them as much this week and prior to the bowl game and when next season starts. Put in as much time as you can on the team. Get a cot in your office if you need to. Except take one night off and get as shite faced drunk as you can. Never know, sometimes it helps to kill off a few brain cells. Might clear out some cobwebs.
