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.

I have already pointed out that teams that run an alternative offense strategy are not winning more than miles over any time period except for the last few games.

negas - you have no idea if having more offense "balance" would win more games.

how can you watch last season with mett slinging it all over the place and think the coaches aren't already striving for better?

quote:

you think they don't know this? miles has already completely forgotten what it's like to throw for 3k yards

quote:

that it is not a strength of Miles' tenure
I've already shown this to be false.

quote:

miles called the plays. miles ran practice. miles reviewed game film. your statement is just plain ignorant.
