quote:Les Miles is not a bad coach. His issue is stubbornness to the point that he can't/couldn't recognize that the game was evolving. He refused to make changes to the offense or to allow his OC to be innovative and get a leg up on the competition. He ran a good program, his players loved him, he recruited lights out, he stayed out of any serious NCAA trouble, he funneled players to the pro's, and he was an overall likable guy. The only people who disparaged him and shite all over him were his own fans.
This is a good theory and it works with great head coaches.
However,one can be outcoached as a result of gameday mistakes or strokes of genius
Les Miles has distinguished himself with some spectacular game day buffoonery from time to time. These have not always resulted in losses, but you could hardly attribute the wins to coaching.

Your post about Les Miles is generally accurate.
He was a great guy, great recruiter and ran a clean program.
with the talent he assembled he was able to average almost 10 wins a season.
He was horrible on game day, unable to manage the clock, manage or keep up with first downs and unable to make adjustments on offense. At times it was spectacular.
Yet, he managed one of the best programs in the country and did so as a class act.
