re: Can SOMEBODY-- Anybody please translate?

lm can give asprin a headache.

Sounds to me he was uninvolved at that point allowing the Offensive coaches to call plays. They may have called 2 plays and somebody did not know the formation. Lee was trying to get the players in the correct formation and RS must have fell asleep on the sidelines missing the first playcall or not understanding the formation. This stuff ends with Crowton and his exotic formations and motions gone. The stuff is just too complicated and seems to confuse only our offense and not the opposing teams' defense.

Positigers or anyone,,,Can you please explain how in the frick you can listen to that and not call him a LIAR? How can you get anything in the world positive having thqat guy speak?

He started by saying something about 2 plays and ended the interview with a resounding "the play was called before the timeout"!!

WTF! There is clearly something wrong at the top of this organization and instead of laughing, I'm starting to give value to the opinion that he is actually going insane in front of our eyes!

Forget about wins and loses, focus on that interview and tell me that guy isn't falling apart like a cheap suit.

There is a communication problem in tight situations and Les does not know what it is and how to fix it. Fire Crowton and Stud first!!!!!

one problem is the entire offensive team was in the huddle during the timeout. Not sure how you effectively discuss the play call with 45 players in the huddle.

Very easy to translate.

This is why Lsu players do not know the playbook, calls, assignments, schemes etc.

If that is the person teaching them it is not their fault.

Im dumber for watching that.

Miles is an absolute and total embarrassment.

Miles is a complete embarassment to this university and needs to be run out of town immediately. This isn't the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th time this garbage has happened. How many more times will he have to embarass us before a change is made?

I agree. How can he not be prepared for that question?!?

I think he's trying to say:

1) They had the play call ready, but wanted to talk it over
2) It was loud and people were having trouble hearing
3) A couple of the players heard the wrong play call

That was the game though. Call the 2nd timeout. If you make it, there's plenty of time for the drive. If you don't, Auburn is in FG position at a minimum to make it a 2 possession game after chewing a maximum amount of time.

I understand that there's a lot of pressure at that point, but these guys are supposed to be the experts. I would personally screw up all kinds of things if I were out there, but I'm just another fan. He's the Four Million Man. He's supposed to be able to have this stuff under control.

If it's an incompletion, etc., it is what it is. I understand. To have it be a total clusterf%^% on a regular basis is unacceptable.

Getting in signals from the sideline seems to be a problem. They seldom show this on TV, and it is difficult to see from the stands, but I was at Auburn and sitting low enough to see the asst coaches. It is a total clusterf***--they're ALL screaming and jumping and red-faced with veins standing out. There are two or three guys doing (different)weird hand gestures, apparently our confusing "signals."

By contrast, on the Auburn side, there were three asst coaches each holding up two numbers. Two were held low (chest level) and one was held high (above the head). Sometimes these were changed as they were being held. The players calmly looked at the numbers until something about them indicated what the play was, and then they turned and ran it.

We did something similar in kid football when I coached* it. Had a signboard with numbers, an indicator, and the qb had a wristband with (don't faint) the same numbers. We never had a problem with misunderstood plays or assignments (like Auburn).
