Miles discussing substantive x's and o's

Ok, he's been here for 11 seasons. He is vague as possible in his pressers and interviews.
Most people will say he is just being a poker player, and does not like to give away any secrets.
Meanwhile, I've seen Saban and Urban Meyer and many other coaches give very substantive interviews over the years.
Has anyone heard Miles do that even once?
We hear "tough-nosed", "offense, defense and special teams", and "KAWALITY opponent" till the cows come home, but has anyone seen a substantive interview talking x's and o's.
I have been sitting back for 11 years, and I don't recall it.
Yeah, yeah...If you don't like the question, or do not have a link, you will call the post a name. That's the rant way.
But, before you do so, out of the thousands of interviews and links on Miles, please find some form of substantive discussion of football x's and o's. Maybe I have missed "all of them" somehow.

Meyer maybe, but I'm not sure where you're getting that Saban is substantive in his interviews. He always hands out a few generic lines about doing your job and playing our game on the field and in press conferences he downright cusses at media members. He and Miles are very similar in their philosophy on the media, they just go about it in opposite ways.
If you really want to see Miles talking x and o's look up the SEC inside segment from earlier this year. Miles is very detail oriented in that vid and gives a lot of instruction.

I heard him say once:
"As the game progressed we detected a tendency to defensively overload the strong sides of our formations, and also to forego pass protection upfield by substituting a corner for an extra linebacker to encroach into the gaps, so we increasingly toss-pitched directly into the brunt of their attacks just to show 'em we can't be frightened by tactics."

So you think that just because you don't see him do it he doesn't know it? Contrary to what the rant thinks Les knows x's and o's just maybe those x's and o's are a little outdated and he need to evolve them to modern times. You don't make the money he makes in any industry without knowing what the hell you are doing.
Look at most teams that do the all access things for ESPN. Usually they are second tier power 5 conference teams looking for exposure for their program. LSU doesn't need that.

Go to YouTube and watch his old coaches show videos from Oklahoma State. He breaks down film

SEC Inside this year, some ESPN stuff from years past.
Lots of position/footwork tech stuff you wouldn't understand.

Its possible it happened, but no one understood what the hell he was trying to say.

Can you link or describe the substance you are talking about?
Posted on 12/8/15 at 9:20 am to TigerBert
What deliberately insulting question(s) would you ask Miles if given the chance? I'd start with "Coach, do you agree that the purpose of an offense is to score points?"

Yes....
"You place the first X in the top right corner, then try to defend against the O's to effectively string together three consecutive Xs in a row, either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, to achieve victory".

How much detail can he actually go in to on toss dive right, toss dive left, go route and an occasional jet sweep.

I quit listening to a lot of his interviews and his radio show because there is just no info to glean from them. You get more info from the player interviews and pundits that you may trust. The best informative speech that he does is his Lunch with Les on Mondays which usually gives a status of team/players and preview of our next Kawality opponent. His Wed after practice interview is not too bad but don't expect any X's or O's stuff...
Everything else comes out as gibberish.

There are many things to criticize about our football team's performance of late.
This, though, is not one of them.

The only thing I can think of is Kevin Mawae talking about the skull session he and Les had on the whiteboard about blocking schemes when he was interviewing for oline job if I remember correctly.
You people that think "Les doesn't know anything about football" are crazy and delusional. If you had an "x's and o's" discussion with him you wouldn't even be able to keep up. If you had the same discussion with a successful high school, coach, you wouldn't be able to keep up, much less the top tier of the collegiate level.
