Do really believe Miles does adjust his gameplan from week to week? Do you think running right into the teeth of a great Alabama run defense last year was a different and great gameplan? Did miles ever change his gameplan in the Bama, Arky or Ole Miss game last year? NOPE!. if you can't admit that then sounds like I will most definitely ignore any opinion you have on LSU football.

Again, Can you name a Division 1 Coach who has a sports reported track record of more clock management screw-ups than Les Miles? Google "Poor football clock management skills" you will see a lot of information about how this is judged and a lot of perspectives on NFL Coaches but not a lot on College. Granted any Coach can screw up, but How can any true LSU fan not admit that Miles has certainly had more than his share. Miles himself has admitted that this is an area needs improvement.

We tried throwing the ball. Harris wasnt up to the challenge.

We had 508 yards of offense against ole miss. Just couldnt punch it in.
We threw the ball 35 times against Arky.

You clearly dont know what you're seeing when you watch a cfb game. Miles definitely made adjustments in all those games. Just because YOU cant see them doesnt mean they didnt happen.

Youre the one making a claim. Its on you to prove it. So prove it or just admit its your opinion and is in no way based on facts.

Not one poster has said Miles hasnt had clock issue. You said HE HAS MORE THAN ANY COACH. We are asking you to provide proof that Miles has more than anyone because YOU are making the claim that he has the most. If we would've said he has the least amount of clock issues then it would be on us to provide proof.

In game adjustments is not Miles biggest flaw. His biggest flaw is his inability to consistently recruit every position group - particularly QB. In the last two years this has finally changed. Miles is tecruiting every position every year now.

Do you actually think that LSU runs the exact same plays in the same sequence, with the identical alignment, unchanged blocking assignments, with no difference in splits, blocking angles, timing, cadence, etc. from week to week irrespective of opponent?
Seriously do you know so little about how a game plan works?
Do actually think that there are NO changes from week to week?
Do you not understand the difference between week to week game planning and overall offensive philosophy?
Do you actually think that no consideration is ever given to changing match ups, talent on the other side of the ball, capabilities of the other side, game conditions, etc?

Just because YOU can't tell the difference doesn't mean that there weren't any. You just need to stop. To assert that there were NO differences just exposes you lack of football knowledge.

Finally what is a road scholar?

Apparently you tried to do some research so:

How many has he had?

Who is in second place, third place?

What is the average?

What is a fair share?

Why did you post then run and hide?

imo miles biggest flaw is not to ever have confidence in his qb. he's not afraid to throw; he'll throw it when he believe he needs or has to. he doesnt' feel comfortable trusting his qb.

he will not give his qb the ball when the game is on the line, notwithstanding 1 play I can think of very early in his career. it was a gamble and he still would've had time to kick the field goal. auburn.

I believe, I hope and pray, that cam will stay on the sidelines this year. this will give harris confidence, and it means every play won't be filtered thru miles. he'll have his say, of course.

Whether it's consciously or inadvertently, Miles lives by the saying, "it's not the Xs and Os, it's the Jimmys and Joes."

It's great he can get the "Jimmys and Joes," and that will win you a lot of games, especially in the days of four rent-a-wins on the schedule.

It won't win you many championships, because in the SEC, eventually you're going to run into someone whose Jimmys and Joes are as good or better than yours, and who is also better at the Xs and Os.

And yet he has one of the highest win percentages in college football over the last 11 years. Weird
There it is, right on cue.

Predictable as the rise and setting of the Sun.

How many SEC West or SEC Championships does he have since the 2011 season?

What's his SEC record since then?

What's his record against Rammer Jammer since then?

That's all that matters at this point, not some useless W-L stat that's been built up and padded by wins over a plethora of OOC "Sisters of the Poor" schools...............

As many as anyone not named Saban.

Only second in the sec.


You do realize you cant look this shite up right?

I love how you were all arrogant with trying to shite on Miles and yet it back fired because you didnt know lsu has the second most wins in the sec since 2011.

You have no clue what youre talking about. Let me ask you, is winning 9 games every year a tough task?

was a timeout sandwiched by two delay of games. Please tell me how that happens to everyone.

Saw that at least 3 times last year for Alabama. Twice in one game. I recorded lots of college football, 8-9 games per weekend and watch them during the week, (sometimes after season, so my CFB year goes to March sometimes) Mark Richt is far worse than miles from clock management. And was it Petrino last year in the bowl game who took his last timeout when the clock was already stopped, on 3rd down, costing him a chance to get the ball back. That was the worst clock management decision I have ever seen. Auburn' kick six win was pretty bad also, from a Bama perspective. A screen pass??? Anyway, my original point was Bama gets delay of game out of timeouts, regurrly My neighbor is a Saban lover, and I remember pulling him off his lawn mower last year on a Sunday to rewind and show him saban's second delay of game out of a timeout last year in the same game. I am not saying we have perfect clock management, just that nobody else does. To think that is an LSU only problem, or that we are the worst is simply naive. If you watch more college football, your opinion on that should change.

Exactly.
As i explained to him earlier, clock mismanagement happens at every single level and happens hust as often as it does with Miles its just that he cares about lsu football so mistakes are remembered. He doesn't remember Bill Belichick having multiple clocks screw ups in a game because he isnt as passionate about other teams as he is about lsu. Miles' clock mismanagement doesnt happen anymore regularly than any other coach.

Coaches don't watch games they watch film so they are very suspect to clock management issues. They also have a million things going on on a sideline on a Saturday that he is in charge of that the clock sometimes probably isn't realized. If it were me I would hire a guy or use a grad assistant that I absolutely trust to tell me the situation clock management wise. A clock management coach.
