Miles orchestration - the big picture

Throughout his time when he was accountable for talent/coaching on the team, much of that time we lacked either/or offensive line talent, with some occasions of poor assistant selection.
Of course we had to persist through the numerous Malveto and Stud-OC experiments which we mostly knew where the wrong steps.
Now that has shifted to a lack of talent on the defensive side of the ball.
With the truly once-in-a-generation level of talent coming out of LA this next recruiting season, He has a chance to stock-up with talent and depth once again.
The point is his big picture coordination of talent and coaching seem to constantly fail to scheme/plan for the full picture needed. 2011's team was the closest, but the QB situation offset that to make it difficult anyway. (yeah yeah, RP)
Is this dude as good at forward planning and scheming the big picture as a "Program Coach" as he is mostly given credit for?
This year it is the weak talent on defense.
What will be the one piece missing next year or the year after that which keeps us from being special like Bama seems to be every year?
Or has he re-grouped and has it all phasing together again?
Can he phase his planning or not? Or, is this just too much to ask for?

i think its lack of talent and experience on defense. But i do see that we are transitioning to a very mobil quarterback scheme that can open the playbook a little more, run, and extend plays. This takes a little time and i feel good about our future with this transition.

The formula doesn't change from one program to the next. Recruit the best kids you possibly can, coach them up, and create/reinforce a culture of toughness, tireless prep, and teamwork. Rinse repeat. Sometimes you miss on talent, sometime you don't get cultural buy-in (through lack of peer leadership) and sometimes your prep / gameplan is wrong.
And sometimes all those things are great, and you still underachieve.

quote:We had almost 4 years to get a good QB after RP got kicked off the team in early 2008. His answer to that was Andrew fricking Hatch. It took Mett getting kicked off UGA's team for playing with a girls titties 3 years later to finally get a QB, and then not from recruiting but as a JUCO cast off. Why do you tards give Miles a pass for that?

But tomorrow? What's that mean? Woof!

I dont blame him for stud. He hired the guy he wanted in krags and was a good hire. Plus you cant just fire stud, he was never a candidate for the oc position to beginwith. Plus if we made a change before last season, not sure who we would have gotten. Cam wasnt available.
Same with malveto, maybe no one was available that Les wanted. so he thought those guys would be able to continue what bo was doing. which wasnt all that great to begin with. I dont think the co defensive coordinators was ever going to stick and i dont think miles planned on it. remember chavis wasnt available. and most people have said chavis saved this program up until this year. So in hindsight, Les got the guys he wanted by waiting.
Id say his biggest mistake on recruiting was at the qb position. Yeah he got rp, but we had no one after lee/jj. He righted this by getting a Juco qb in Mett. So Miles has basically fixed everything that has gone wrong.

Oh phuck....please make these threads stop. How many threads with new titles do we need to discuss the same crap?
BTW the Co-D and Stud WERE NOT experiments. They were deliberate decisions based on the situations at hand. I doubt CLM ever saw these moves other than band aid solutions.
