Do you think Les actually changes Cam's calls 50% of the time?

no, i think Cam calls the plays, but Les gave a playbook with only 3 or 4 plays in it

No.

I think Les makes the final decision on whether to play Mr. Safe or take a risk.

And, as Head Coach, he also sets the game plan.

I mean what do people think? That football teams show up Saturday and the HC and OC haven't discussed waht the game plan will be?

Do they think that if the HC says I want to be run heavy and pass only if necessary that the OC shows up Saturday, the OC just goes of book resulting in the HC having to correct him constantly?

Who responsible for hiring offensive coords? Miles has hired on incompetent coord after another. When will the powers that hired him finally see that they made a terrible mistake. If not for the defensive genius of John Chavis, we would have been a 5 or 6 lose team every year.

Jesus people do you not watch the games.

According to most, Les has been calling the plays since 2005. So according to that logic you would think the type of plays being called would not change.

But it has...

Jimbo years..we had bubble screens, middle screens, we were rather balanced.

Crowton comes along and most of the screen game disappears but now we see the pistol, and a bunch of straight option (not the read). Still fairly balanced, run/pass.

Stud takes over and more power emerges because Stud is a O line coach but the read option is introduced (from his days with Urban at Bowling Green). We see less option and even less of a screen game.

Now Cam, he comes from a NFL team with a QB that cant run for shite so he wants to run power and play action. Screen game is gone, option is essentially eliminated. Has some success throwing when he had a Joe Flacco type QB. Now that he doesn't the offense stalls.

Ill admit Miles want to run power and I am sure he has influenced all of his OC's to call those plays but to think Miles is calling the plays or 50% of them is plain absurd. History shows that he doesn't.
