One thing sure has become abundantly clear....

Les seemed to completely ignore his offensive staff outside of Cam. It seems all of our position coaches are delighted to be given the green light to manage their position.
add Grimes to the list....
come on Pocic to tackle

You'll remember that Miles had a heavy hand in #LSU's OL. It's now Grimes' to manage.

"Seemed" my arse. The quitter did ignore their input.

I have to say, I was blaming Grimes for a lot of the OL's problems, but based on Saturday's performance (and admittedly, it's only one game), I may have been too quick to do so.

Pocic and possibly Chidi at the tackle positions.

Les is a miserable head coach. I'm so glad his luck ran out so that he could be fired.

No doubt he did. Les loved to call plays and I have a feeling he asked his def co's to play a passive bend but don't break defense.

Was Les holding Aranda back as well?
The reason I ask is that our defense played like monsters against a pretty potent offense this past Saturday.
Against lesser offenses in the first four weeks, we had struggles and didn't seem to be taking the fight to our opponents.

the shite that comes out afterwards...goddamnit les

Damned near every quote from players and coaches has basically said "Miles sucked" without literally saying it.
Couple that with their ACTIONS and it's clear that there was precisely ONE thing hindering LSU football

After last season's fiasco, I think Miles just said you know what, I'm keeping Cam and we're doing this my way. Stubborness got Dinardo fired and the same thing happened to Miles. It's why Saban is still at the top of his game. He is not an offensive guru but he brings in coordinators that work within his system and he lets them coach and he is not afraid to give them an earful when he has to.

In a few years Miles will be scorned by all LSU fans. The amount of talent squandered is just insane.

It seems he and Cam just said: "change things? frick that"

Is that you have never been in a managerial position. The boss, however described may well ask for suggestions but ultimately it is his decision to make.
If every subordinate in an organization had is own way you would have chaos.
Look at it this way. Let's assume all the assistant coaches have this free rein you seem to think is so wonderful. The OC decides that the first play will be a deep pass to the right. The line coach disagrees and he instructs the line to fire out zone blocking, while the running backs coach instructs his charges to run a jet sweep to the wide side, while the QB coach thinks that a boot leg to the short side is just dandy. The receivers coach goes into a snit because he really wants a bubble screen.
Sounds productive doesn't it? The job of a manager is to accept suggestions from subordinates and then do what he thinks is best for the situation.

Les looks worse and worse each day.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but perhaps with the coaching changes the staff has a clear message that everyone is fighting for their job and they've taken that message to heart with their personnel decisions. The status quo wasn't working, so any areas that were having an issue seem to have gone back to the drawing board.
Granted, it is perfectly plausible that Miles micromanaged certain position groups and now that he's out of the way everyone can do as they see fit, but it could also be because most of the staff may be unemployed in 2 months.

Without question the assistance coaches voices are heard much more than with the previous leadership, more so on offense.

Les obviously micromanaged his staff. That much is certain.
But I don't know how many coaches don't micromanage to a point. O isn't going to micromanage (at least not yet) because I'm sure he feels he isn't in the position to do so.
