re: Does football even need a coach to beat Saban in regular season?

Saban is beatable... and it takes a smart rational logical HC to know that a spread-based scheme and and gameplan would have success against Saban. Miles, Cameron, O, and Esminger failed that.

I was a Coach O fan until his post game press conference following the Bama loss. It wasn't the loss that got me, but when he said his game plan was to get Fournette the ball as many times as possible.

Of course, this was Miles' plan last year that didn't work... and O thinks by some miracle that Saban and his freak show defense can't stop LSU's creative offense of Fournette left and Fournette right?

No consistent use of Fournette as a decoy other than with play action? No jet sweeps or fast developing mis-direction plays against Bama? No creative use of Guice and Fournette together or in some type of wildcat read-option look? O lost me with that Miles-like game plan, and now he shows his red-zone offense was't prepared for an overmatched UF team. When the field gets tight in the red-zone he still didn't spread the formation and use speed or mis-direction. Every sweep or outside run seemed to have success against UF, but in the red-zone we continue to stack the box and run up the middle and our wrinkle is the play-action pass short of the goal line.
