Hey red, I wonder where Choctaw and hollow and chigl1 are at. I guess they can't face the fact that this team isn't who they thought they were.... Bandwagon for sure.....

The Steele hire was just a head scratcher. The DC job here is probably one of the best coordinator jobs in the country and that's who you went with ?
I'm not going to call him a total fail because of our depth and talent issues along the front 7, but I'm not liking what I'm seeing.

I'm not a Miles defender by any means but, when you see a problem do you always immediately know how to fix it?

Les let me take you fishing ole buddy. Time to retire and enjoy life. Thank you for service and a great run.

Steele was a bargain hire hands down.
They wanted someone safe and thought they could get away with throwing shite at the wall and hoping it would stick.

dude, this shite ain't "immediate".... might be for some of y'all that have just seen the light, but it's been years now for many of us, that have been calling for his job, despite the obvious backlash from those that supported him...
all i can say to those that are FINALLY coming to realization that he's in over his head, is "told you so"

He's been in over his head the entire time he's been here. He's benefited from some rabbit foot luck and some exceptional play from ridiculous talent.
I get the feeling he's tired and there's more holes sprigging loose than he can fix. It's time for him to go.

Well, he's being honest. I'll take that over coach speak.

For a CEO paid 4M a year, yes.

No kidding...his entire life has been to know the offensive side of the ball and is paid millions on millions...I don't have the answers is a completely unacceptable response.

Yet some on here actually believe Miles is in the top tier of SEC coaches.

Look I'm all for a change in the program, but your quote is misleading. There was more to the quote. Maybe he is having a revelation. Yea, that's it.

You mean the one that got pushed around in the trenches on both sides of the ball the last two weeks? Hard to have any game plan work when you're getting beat at the line. So I totally get the statement and that may be the most honest Miles has ever been - translation - if we can't win the battle at the line, I don't have the answers.
You ever think how hard it is to block when you run the same plays over and over and an opponent as strong as Bama knows what you are doing before you even snap the ball. That's why the O line looks so bad. Arky played us the same way. They know what's coming and they are beating our guys to the spot. We have a tendency to do the same things over and over regardless of the results and Miles has been to hard headed to break those tendencies. Coaches have solved the puzzle and with the SEC west getting better as a whole it's only going to get worse without some drastic changes in our offensive philosophy or a different head coach.

Not really. That's pretty idiotic to say, frankly. On the other hand, an elite coach would certainly have fixed it by now because the problem isn't fricking new

Maybe he isnt now but i would think the 6th best winning percentage in the history of the best football conference (and its strongest ever stretch) at some point was somehow cracking the top tier

Yup and that's my gripe. Any other coach could've tried a hundred different things by now and we haven't even tried anything different at all yet

This.
I don't expect Miles to have all of the answers, but he needs to have the Answers, as in the big, 5,000 ft. view of the team, and be able to drive that by....
Hiring competent people around him, people who are smarter than him, and let them work. He used to think he was more clever than other coaches, that he could do it all. That's why the offense is as it has always been. The problem now, with this comment is that 1) He finally understands that he isn't as clever as he thinks he is 2) That he probably think he SHOULD know exactly what to do in a tactical and game management sense.
And he shouldn't. And I'm not sure he can entertain the idea that he needs someone else to do it. Or that we would want him to.
