Just curious. How much did you pay for the tree and stump removal? I have a large oak, not quite that big, that I need removed.

re: Miles QB Recap
Posted by cjd31 on 1/5/15 at 8:42 am to TXGunslinger10
TX Gunslinger is right. This isnt only about not finding talent, it is about the offensive system they are asked to operate in. Miles does not trust QBs period. The only one he mildly trusted was Mett. He plays offense to not lose games. It really doesnt matter what QB (Harris or Jennings) the offensive scheme will be the same. Run until we are forced to pass. This is the basic problem with the offense - way too predictable. This sets up our QBs for failure. the only time they are aloowed to throw is when it is obvious we have to. You arent going to be successful doing that, no matter who we have back there. Other teams mix up their plays and trust QBs to deliver. These other QBs from lesser schools have the benefit of offensive gameplans designed to maximize their potential and win games. Until this changes our offense will continue to be stagnant no matter who is Off Coor or QB. The common denominator is Miles. I am not bashing the guy, but he has to loosen the offense. Unfortunately, he knows that with a great defense he is almost assured of 8 wins with a couple 10 wins seasons sprinkled in playing the "dont lose offense. Apparently that is good enough for him.
I really dont care who starts the game for LSU. I think most people understand Harris needed to come out of the Auburn game. I dont think he should be annointed as the starter without proving a little more on the field. What infuriates me, and I think most is the zero meaningful game snaps Harris has received since that game. There is simply no reason not give a couple of series to Harris in each of our last few games. I am afraid that by not playing Harris, Les has decided Jennings is his guy and will be for the future. This situation really does have the JJ/JL feel to it.
Did you not think the defense improved tremendously after Welter was benched for Beckwith? Do you think that Beckwith woke up one day and could instantaneously "get it " to the point of being a dominant MLB. Does Miles bare no responsibility of having less talented players on the field. Should he be accountable for anything like wins and loses. according to you he shouldnt because he doesnt call the defense or offense. Who should be accountable? Are you just satisfied that this is the best product we can field with our collection of 4 - 5 star players. Nobody is suggesting that Les meddle in either offense or defense, but when it is obvious that the wrong guys are playing isnt his job to correct it.

I'm not saying Chavis shouldnt have recognized the problem or talent differential, but as the head coach you ultimately have to make that call. That is what comes with the job and big paycheck. You have to stand behind the decisions of those you appoint, good and bad. It was a bad decision for Welter to be playing over Beckwith and it was equally bad to not give Harris some reps in these last few games. All coaches should be held accountable for this, but as the head coach these decisions are yours. He can always and most assuredly has, overruled his coaches in the past. Not overruling on these issues are his problem.
Are you suggesting Les couldnt tell Beckwith was better than Welter because he is only the head coach and not the D coord.? My wife knows next to nothing about football and she recognized this after the first two games. I bet if he told Chavis to start Beckwith, he would have been starting. So yes he does coach both the offense and the defense. It is his responsibility to know the best players are on the field. He relies on other coaches as well but ultimately he should know who the best players are.

He was eleventy time better than Welter at the beginning of the season too. I dont think lightening struck and all of a sudden he knew how to play MLB. These are the frustrating facts that make Les so hard to support.
I will offer a golf clap :rolleyes:
I dont buy the distance argument. Baton Rouge is the same distance away as it was when he commited. If this is true, all that about "good family is crap" you dont go back on your word at the 23rd hour. This cost us P Miller, and possibly other qbs we were recruiting. This puts us in the same qb position with R Perrilloux.. Two qbs in the same year.
