re: Les miles to blame for Montgomery taking games off?

quote:

The buck has to stop somewhere. Les Miles is a players coach and I love that about him. However, this Montgomery business is pretty disturbing. As a fan who knows only a tiny fraction of what CLM knows about the game and his players it feels stupid to critique his coaching philosophy but I do hope he does not allow that attitude in the locker room going forward. Taking games off is not something championship players and teams do

no coach working in sports right now thinks its acceptable for players to take off games. but why do you think coaches try to treat every opponent like world beaters? it's because it's in human nature to not be as psyched for towson as you are for florida or alabama.

if you really think the buck always stops with miles then i hope he holds credit when good things happen that is equal to his liability when something bad happens.

And LSU has waaaaaaaaaaay more good than bad since miles came here.
