There is more to FB coaching than to simply go out and play to the strengths and abilities of personnel. Coaching is not solely utilitarian. The very definition of the word suggests otherwise. There are a host of areas that fall within the realm of coaching: recruiting, leading, scheming Xs and Os just to name a few.
This is done and you make no real point.
quote:

The QB position is the single most important position on the field, for a host of reasons.
????? No shite.
You and many others problem is you think you know the answers more than the staff that works with these guys 20hrs a week.
quote:

I'm not arguing to pass for the sake of passing. Don't twist things.
You and others complain about the way the offense is run instead od accepting reality.
quote:

Russell, Flynn both did not receive the fundamentals of QB position from Miles.
Yeah, that's why they started so many games under Saban.
Back to Miles has coached a few positons, but don't recall QB being one.

quote:

Perriloux -- not a strong example for your argument. Not enough to go on here.
Way to discredit to try and validate your misconceptions.

quote:

Lee was decent.
Until under pressure and disguised covers. His counterpart actually exceeded just about every one of his career stats. Not partisan, just fact.

quote:

Mett was prepped at another school.
Another QB added to"developed elsewhere"? So Mett was all world in '11 and '12? None of these mentioned were good enough to start when arrived, so GTFO.

Miles coaching has been flawless this year.

He knew the defense would step up and overcome those 4 turnovers so it didn't matter that nearly 13% of our pass attempts were intercepted. Just amazing coaching to realize that going in!

I love how I praise coach for being an effective coach and succeeding at many aspects of the game, yet point a criticism at one aspect or pitfall, and I'm a negatiger, a hater, and a rantard with a low FB IQ.

To defend his ability at the development of the QB position and almost present it as a strength goes in the face of almost every objective fan of college football. It's delusional. I don't even think Miles would label as one of his strengths as a coach. This by no means makes him a bad coach. I agree that mitigating mistakes is a wise move, and would never argue otherwise. You do what you have to do to win. I simply believe there is an easier way to win that going 9 yards over 7 carries LINK

Or running the ball 3 times in a series over and over and over. I prefer the run, and I think most LSU fans do. I think the pass opens up the running game. I am simply hoping and stating (once again-for those who ignore the over-arching comment I'm making, and choose to show no common ground) that this round of QBs should/can be developed a little quicker/better, and coach needs to call plays that help them. We can be a little predictable at times. I'm not arguing pass for the sake of passing, I'm arguing pass for the sake of a dominant run game. I saw improvement against Ole Miss, but there is still a way to go. As you said, this staff spends "20 hours a week" at it and we still are sputtering on offense. Accepting reality? Why don't you accept reality that Miles' offense could be improved with more QB development, and that it is not a strength of Miles' tenure. Russell/Flynn spent 2 years under different leadership, to negate that fact in their development is a little ignorant. As is the same story for Mettenberger.

Not expecting Miles to come out with a magic wand and have an "all world" QB. I do however, think there is more that could be done, as we are halfway through the year.
