re: According to Guilbeau, buy out is half of what is believed?

Yes, Miles has proven he is incapable of recruiting and/or developing the most important position on the field for 11 years running. Even many of the kids he misses out on that he wanted turn out to be duds for one reason or another.

But now, it is evident he could have a serviceable QB on his team for over a year, and still not see the glaring differences b/w the two.

Also, it's bad enough that his scheme is so antiquated and predictable, but he even fails to recruit the most important positions sufficiently to run it.

A case in point this past wknd that should leave no doubts as to the lack of coordination was the last drive of the half. Any high school coach could have called the last :50. No, Miles runs on 1st and 2nd, thereby needing his last TO w :14 on 3rd down. Even if he wanted to run twice in that situation w a 1st down at the 5, you MUST pass on 2nd down past the 1st down marker or incomplete, so that the clock stops and you allow yourself a chance to run a play anywhere on the field w ur last TO.

He leaves his QB having to pass w a chance to be sacked and lose the FG opportunity. It's one thing to not have kids prepared to execute these situations, but entirely another to not even know how to call the offense to give ur players the best chance to succeed.

And make no mistake about it, the offensive brain trust that is the LSU staff, DIDN'T know what to do in those crucial moments. And this is with a 17 pt lead before HT.

Just imagine what they will do when it REALLY counts. Never mind. You got to see it at the end of the game when we needed a 1st down to secure the win.

So yeah, Miles is history to me, and it's time. It was last year. Wish it didn't require him to crash and burn like he most certainly will. He won't be carried off this time though.
