re: Les Miles is a great guy but...

I think he's an elite coach. I do.

However, his loyalty to his staff is one of his worst flaws. That and being stubborn, which may be one in the same.

It took him forever to get rid of Crowton and Crowton left because he was going to be fired in the end, if I remember right.

Sort of the same thing here. Miles brings in Krags to be the OC, he has to step down because of health reasons. So Stud is promoted to that internally, rather than looking for a proven OC. On top of that, you have the same play calling since '08.

He is very smart (I know, I know, wait for it) but I don't understand why that OC light doesn't come on, especially after 5 years of the same stuff. I've met him several times and he's very smart, just from the way he talks (when not on camera) but even he would have to admit, when given all the stats after the last 5 years, that the offense isn't where it should be.

It came on for the defense and he got Chavis.
