If CC decided to take a job somewhere else, another NFL team, well that would pretty much answer this question.

Does Miles make the OL miss their blocks, so that when only rushing 3 they still hurry our QB?

Does Miles make Diarse NOT stretch his arms or leap for the ball?

Does Miles make our defense arm tackle in the open field and not wrap up?

Does Miles make our front 4 unable to get separatiion from opponent's OL and put little pressure on their QB?


If so, then I guess maybe he calls the plays too - 'cause he is obvisouly directly responsible for everything we do wrong in a game.

What quarter? When the offense actually started clicking? So miles took over and the offense moved? You are not helping the argument.

Here is my reasoning: We have had three different coordinators from 3 extremely different coaching styles, yet we have seen the same exact formations and playcalls from all 3 of them. That just seems very interesting or coincidental


It's not coincidence. Les has a playbook and has a set of plays that he lets Cam choose from.

I do find it very interesting that 3 consecutive OCs could be so utterly enamored of the toss dive.

Guys, Miles is the boss...including Cam's. Lets hope Cam can talk some sense into him this week and let him open things up. I have seen numerous O's that Cam has coached that throw the ball ALOT, shoot look at last year's O. Les has to take the handcuff's off and trust these young players. I know we have the coaches and the talent to pull this off, they just have to allow this to happen. Mainly Miles.

He never has a playsheet (that I've seen), yet Cam does. Does he just have fantastic memory?

I don't really know. I'm just providing evidence that Miles has a playsheet.

Or run that lame option MSU stuffed at the goal line. Cameron doesn't call shite like that. That's def Miles sayin what he wants.

I don't think he calls them but it's his offensive philosophy

This not the point, although sarcastic, 1 of them should call ALL of the plays are it becomes the Nasty Clusterfrick that we seem to be seeing.

He's not calling individual plays (although I'm sure he suggests some things at times). But he is heavily involved in the offensive gameplan during the week. Just ask Jimbo.

That's pretty irrelevant. No one is saying Miles omnipotently controls everything or is to blame for everything. We're talking about who ultimately is calling the shots on offense. And it's pretty clear.

Ive seen him with one as well over the years but seen him without one plenty. I just dont see how someone that is an idiot and a buffoon that cant keep track of time can remember the plays.

I honestly think Saban has completely given up the reigns. I think thats why he has Kiffin on the sideline

Apparently not, as so many are denying Miles' influence on the offensive game plan.

I agree on this, but Jennings played that selfishly and we never went back to it. I just find it funny that i see plenty of other teams run that play in those situations yet when we do it its because our coach is an idiot.

saban gave his offense to kiffin. if he failed, saban could blame him.

kiffin is killing it at bama and miles has his head firmly planted into his rear
