Groomed for what? Headset wearing and clipboard holding?

He's a spineless chameleon. He'd say anything to anyone if he thought it'd get him elected.

Contrary to what most ranters think, Miles and Cam are not idiots. They know football and are playing the best players that help the team win.

Kendell Beckwith disagrees with this.

I've lurked on this board for a while now. That, my friend, was unquestionably one of the dumbest and least thought through posts I've seen. Kudos.

Ooops....obviously I meant there's no reason to pick LSU to beat Ole Miss. But yeah, I'm picking LSU. Because I always pick LSU.

Could we not pay a less high profile offensive coordinator to do the job that's currently being done? I'm not saying fire Cameron or cut his salary - that's not happening and that's not how it works. But it's a serious question to ask if we're going to win the philosophy of Miles, which is defensible, then why spend so much on an OC when it's not necessary and it doesn't change the results on the field much?

Alrighty then. No one disputes that guys are getting overpaid to do a remarkably banal job. Thanks for playing.

So, we have one of the highest paid offensive coordinators in college football and we run the ball 70% of the time, despite having elite athletes all over the field. And when we do run the football, we do so less imaginatively and with less misdirection than virtually any other team in D1. Only the service academies have less balance on the offense than LSU.

How's this possible?

I remember DeSean Smith dropping one ball this year. Am I missing something? A guy drops one ball and that's it? No more passes? He's phased out of the offense altogether? The tight ends have no rhythm or chemistry with the QB's, and they haven't for years. Maybe if they were thrown more than a pass or two all year, they'd improve. What the hell are they doing in practice? I can't imagine what Miles has to tell the mother of tight end prospect in order to get him to sign.

Exactly. The decision calculus for Auburn's QB is simple, really simple, as is their entire offense. They just run it extremely well, extremely efficiently, and extremely fast. And it works. We may run the freakin' toss dive a hundred times a night, but we're obviously wasting a ton of time each week practicing plays and formations we rarely run. If we just spread it out and asked the QB to make a quick read we'd probably, you know, convert a 3rd down.
