Stop blaming Miles for the offense!

I'll explain....
Do you folks realize Miles and Co. have averaged 32.6 points per game this year? And, 37.6 last year against one of the all time toughest schedules! 29.5 in 2010. The problem this year isn't Miles or the play calling. The problem is players not executing the plays at crucial times in the game or on critical third downs...it's as simple as that. Miles' LSU teams have averaged 30+ points per game under Miles. Did you know LSU (Miles and Co) ranked #2 in average scoring margin last year? They were ranked #4 this year until yesterday.
We are averaging 393 (more than he ever averaged at OSU!) yards per game this year, even without the players properly executing plays. Did you know that LSU averaged 439.5 per game when we won the MNC in 2007?
Get off of Miles and get on the WR's that have bricks for hands and the inability to get open in space. Mett is a six game starter...what are you people expecting from him at this point? Six games!! He's put the ball in player's hands and they don't take care of the ball. And, our OLine has been decimated by injuries this year. Our Oline issues are problem NUMBER ONE and, unfortunately, injuries can't be coached up.
LSU scoring since Miles arrived:
2004 28.7
2005 29.9
2006 33.7
2007 38.6
2008 30.1
2009 24.8
2010 29.5
2011 37.6
Average 31.61 points per game as LSU's head coach!
THE PROBLEM ISN'T MILES OR HIS OFFENSE.

When the playcalling becomes predictable, it is a problem. If injuries begin crippling your team, you make adjustments. That's just not happening.
Posted on 10/7/12 at 3:26 pm to MardiGrasCajun
The players haven't consistently executed on offense the past 5 years...

Please feel free then to explain the reason for the loss yesterday.

All the stats in the world can't cover up that steaming pile we have seen the last 3 weeks. All the bold letters and exclamation points in the world can't hide the fact that we can't move the ball!!!!!

He deserves as much blame as anyone else. More than anyone? Probably, but maybe not.
I do blame execution more than anything yesterday. We called screens, TE passes and a fairly balanced attack. Whether the right plays were called at the right time is up for debate, but nobody here can say either way with certainty.
We played poorly against a good team on the road. Beyond that, the opinions on this site on what would improve our offensive performance come mostly from football-ignorant people, relative to those making decisions.

Yea, but only 9 points per game against in the SEC.

Oh ok so OL injuries are exclusively the problem, got it.

Can agree with a lot of that. My problem has been the offensive game plan as a whole. When we have looked good this year it has only been because we were Goliath against David's little brother. Now we cant even muster any offensive continuity because of the totally predictable play calling.

When you are down late in the game and you have to punt after failing to convert a 3rd and 4 with a run up the gut, you deserve to have a little criticism. The offensive line should know who to block but time and time again there are always a play or two when Hurst isn't blocking ANYONE and he lets the blitzing guy go through. Now you can blame the OL, but you can also blame the guy who's supposed to correct those same mistake that keep happening! Which IMHO makes more sense!!1

Funny...
Our defense lost the Thorpe Award Winner, the Bednarik Award Winner, a 1st Round NFL DT, a starting LB to grades, and a 3-year staring safety to the NFL and they still manage to be one of the best defenses in the nation.
Maybe coaching DOES have something to do with it...

Since you like stats, maybe you should look up LSU's total offensive ranking the last 5 years. Total offensive ranking doesn't take into account defensive and special teams TD's like scoring offense does.
I'll hang up and listen.

Are you retarded? This offense has been horrible under Miles with the exception of 07 When Jimbo was OC.Furthermore,You do realize defense and ST were involved in that scoring average.
