Youth on roster + coaching Staff complacency = crap

I think what we are seeing is the mix of incredible youth and inexperience being managed by an old staff that is complacent
When you reach a certain age and success in life you can lose your edge. I don't mean your competitiveness, I mean your desire to innovate, develop and motivate a new group of players. Couple that with an incredibly high rate of attrition and we don't see the peer leadership we are used to
So we have a team of young guys being led by a staff of old guys and the product is a game like tonight where a young and hungry HC in tune with his team ran circles around LSU

The loss of peer leadership is crucial
The complacency of the coordinators to keep implementating schemes that the modern game has passed by is awful

modern? the game looks like it has passed the OC/DC behind

I agree with complacency, but this guy is flat out stubborn and does stupid shite that kills momentum, loses games in bone headed fashion, or gets LSU skull fricked.

The down side of this is Texas under Mack hiring the hot coordinator of the minute while the fundamentals of the program crumble and fall apart
Leadership starts at the top, either miles finds something to reinvigorate his program or the program decline is real and it is basically impossible to stop

You got it, same thing with the MSU loss.

Not just leadership but senior skill sets.

To me this is the main thing. Miles is too stubborn to realize its not 1970 anymore. He thinks he can line up in the power I and over power every opponent. Regardless of what the in-game calls are, there is a designed game plan and Les signs off on that. He knows what they're going to attempt to do when game time comes and its not working anymore. He refuses to address that and its fricking us.
Posted on 10/4/14 at 11:28 pm to supatigah
Agreed. But that's what Les has let happen. Our staffs best days are behind them. Need some youth and hunger Some fresh concepts

This season is making me wonder what happened at the end of Cam's tenure with the Ravens
Was he so stubborn and disconnected from Flacco, Rice etc that he allowed himself to get fired over it?
We know miles us stubborn, we may be seeing the King of Stubborn in cam

But miles is also known as profoundly loyal
So how far does it slip? Is everything a wait til next year song and dance?
What if the problems are deeper than merely youth. Can LSU and TAF afford a Texas like fall without the deep pockets behind the program that Texas has?

The thing is, our offense was good last year. And despite the youth on offense, can we say that this year in any way resembles the offense they ran last year? Sure we lost playmakers like Mett Landry and Beckham. But those aggressive play calls aren't there anymore. And to me that's on Miles being afraid of turnovers with young QBs.
IMO when we struggle year after year after year, through multiple OCs and multiple QBs, its not the coordinators or the players. There's one common factor there.

We also don't have an NFL power I QB that understands play action fakes and has the authority to change plays
Our version of check with me probably looks like kindergarten to Malzahn and Mullen

This doesn't explain how Snyder wins almost every year.
Posted on 10/4/14 at 11:40 pm to c on z
Would we settle for Snyder level of success here?
Nope
Would Snyder succeed in the SECW with the program he has?
Nope
Could Snyder do better with LSU talent than miles has?
Probably
Could Snyder recruit at LSU like miles does?
No way

Saban says otherwise and today was an anomaly.....
Posted on 10/4/14 at 11:47 pm to back9Tiger
Saban is the definition of
anti-complacency
He has standards and holds everyone accountable at the expense of relationships
Just look at his OCs at BAMA
