What does coach O bring to the table as a coach?

I mean we all know he does a nice job recruiting for the most part
But even if you hire the best coordinators out there. It will never fully mask or hide the head coach from responsibilities, eventually it will fall back on him.

Not according to his defenders...he has no talent to work with, its not his fault...even though this is his third year here and he has been the recruiting coordinator for two years

Apparently his biggest asset is he's hands off. Seriously. "He doesn't do anything" was sold as his biggest positive. That's our head coach.
If he's hands off during the week, he can't jump in and bark out orders during the game. That leaves us with the clueless powerless ogre with a blank stare that we saw on Saturday. Yaw yaw yaw.

I brought this up time and time again during the coaching search in my arguments with those who wanted Coach O from day 1.
Their logic was "Oh, he'll just get out of the way and the coordinators do their jobs!" Well then wtf do we need him for?
I remember a particular argument I was having regarding O vs Herman. I said it's best to have a coach who has expertise in one side of the ball or the other. IE Saban, Fisher, Herman (at the time), ect, ect.
Why would we want a HC who you wouldn't hire as a coordinator?

everyone wants a coach that will do something, we have a coach that will do nothing.

I'm not going to bash O or call for his resignation yet, but I do think he needs to figure it out and start putting the pieces together quickly. The SEC is the most competitive and quickest evolving conference. He has to have a quicker leaning curve, and that goes for Canada as well (which I know falls on head coach)
Everyone keeps using Herman as their example for defending their points the last few days. It was literally both sides of the coin in 2 weeks time. Its what your team does after a big loss, or any loss I guess, that counts to me. I think Herman did a great job of getting his team fired up to go play a better opponent right after a Maryland beat down. I think Miles was good at that part, especially playing in the SEC where one loss could potentially mean season over. Everyone will be looking at O for LSU to go into Florida with one loss and to be pumped the frick up and come out of there with a W. And we won't know until that day.
I hope O finds the magic. He knows the repercussions more than anyone if he can't make this work.

Here's the thing, I think the players wonder what he's doing too.
The defense is apparently all Aranda's. The offense is apparently all Canada's. Those two guys don't seem to have to answer to O for anything in terms of scheme, he just lets them do whatever they want.
"yay he's hand's off"
So there's no structure or internal discipline, it seems. And it sure looks like the players are performing like that too; there's no structure or discipline to their play. Just 'swag', and if that doesn't work, they're clueless.
I saw offensive plays where Guice was on the bench, Chark and the other WR didn't even know the ball had been snapped, and they were still trying to line up while Etling was getting pressured. That's a disaster for game 3.
I saw 2 separate defenders get ejected for targeting; yes, you could say at least one could have been bogus. But y'know what, the NCAA is tight on this call, and it's clearly going to be called, so you need to be aware of helmet to helmet, and edit that out of your game. Need to be practicing that out. Oh, wait, we're going easier in practice now, because "we're great and don't need to get tired during the week". Well, bullshite, we're not great, we're pretty damn bad. Poor technique, ill-prepared, unable to adjust, unable to handle adversity. And that's vs an unranked team, what in the hell will happen when we face the meat of the schedule?
