Interesting comment from Miles on Crowton

Doesn't Miles know we went 10-2, which means there are no problems?

Why would you fire a national-championship winning offensive coordinator after a 10-win season? You rantards are really something.

From todays Advocate :

Asked a follow-up question about whether he wanted Crowton back as the offensive coordinator, Miles said “I’ve got to be real honest. I don’t want to talk about that.”

---

Translation: "We'll we've sucked on offense for three years in a row, what do you think?"

Crowton is gone, Miles is just trying to soften the landing as he always does.

I know you're being facetious with that last comment, but you act as if everyone wants Crowton to stay and people are sticking up for him. In actuality, people stick up for Miles.

Not his useless OC.

I just don't understand how anyone can be unhappy about a 10-2 record. Spoiled brats. Obviously all is well. After all, if Miles's teams were dysfunctional, there's no way we could win 10 games.

sarcasm off...people stick up for Miles b/c they are trying to cope with it. They know he's going to be here for years to come so they've convinced themselves that's a good thing. That's my latest theory.

So tell me how many coaches could finish with 10 wins with that offense handcuffing them. Not many.

Just have to...FIX. THE. GLITCH.

In the six years of Miles so far, when has the team ever functioned smoothly? He has never had a better year record-wise than this one. In fact, both of his losses this year were better than the losses in 2007, so you could say this regular season was more impressive than that one.

In 05-06, Jimbo was to blame. In 07, in between the Florida game and the SECCG most of us blamed Miles for the terrible discipline on the team and underachieving despite having everything in our favor that year (then of course we became the 2-loss champs), in 08 it was Ryan P's and the Co-DCs fault, in 09/10 it's Crowton.
There's only one constant through all of that. Well, two constants. One is Les Miles and the other is a boatload of talent. Tons of talent + mediocre coach = sloppy team with a good W-L record, which is evidently enough for you guys to crown him king of the world.

People were pissed about Jimbo under Saban too. Everything else in your post really can't be disputed either. We've managed to win a ton of games though so Miles has to be doing something right no?

People stick up for miles because he has produced results. His program overall has shown improvement over the last 3 years (ref. the 10-2 record you keep highlighting).

That being said, we need to continue the improvement. One way to do that is by evaluating the entire program to find places that need more improvement. Based on the offensive production/development the last 2-3 years, it is pretty obvious where one area of improvement can come.

I support Miles in his continuing effort to bring this program back to championship caliber. But he needs to do something soon to improve the offense.

STFU. If we had just a competent OC this year we're in the SECCG asswipe.

no we arent.

I agree with GlenG, LSU is a good qb away from being in atlanta.
