In a rational, to-the-point conversation with Miles, you'd ask...?

I don't know how many here could have a rational conversation, but for the sake of argument, let's speculate that Miles would actually open up and talk freely and rationally, not in his usual, convoluted, twisted "avoid any semblance of a real answer" manner.

My question would be, "Coach Miles, please explain, in as complete detail as possible why you believe that your starting QB should continue to stay the starting QB when all normal factors that the sport of football typically uses in judging whether or not a QB is successful, i.e. TD to INT ratio, understanding the plays that are called, ability to look off a defender, ability to put a pass into a receiver's front shoulder in stride, etc.., etc.., etc.., all point to a massive failure by this QB? Please take your time.

Honestly, how when you go to a kids house, talk to his parents and him, how do you get him to commit? Is it because you "dumb it" down? How do they not laugh at you? Or do they see your NC ring and the facilitites at LSU and then think he i can walk all over this guy.

Like I stated, not many on the rant can be rational.

I'd ask him...

Coach, why did our entire defense and our offensive line look like swiss cheese against Auburn?

And how do we stop Bama's offense and protect our QBs against their rush?

That was the biggest surprise to me, not our 17-point offensive production, which would have been better if we protected our QBs.

Gary Crowton has shown to have a downward trend everywhere that he has been, and it seems to be the case here. If he is responsible for the offense and this trend continues (as it has so far this season) why is he still employed?

Why do you continue to start what is arguably the worst qb in all of football?

If i could sit down and have a beer with Les I would ask somethig like this ....Corch your offense is so predicable even my 17 yr old nephew who plays HS can call 75% of your play based on personnel and formation. Why are you keeping Crowton around ?

I think your point is valid, but, again, in a rational conversation the obvious sarcasm would defeat the point of engaging in a rational discussion.

I would like to know if the Auburn game reflected the gameplan crafted during the previous [basically] 2 weeks, or if he saw something that lead to a deviation in the prepared gameplan from a play calling perspective.

And if he answers that the game we saw is what was prepared, I would want know what is holding him back from giving JLee a bigger role in the offense.

Also, I would like to get his detailed take on the identity of our offense. And if his and Crowton's opinion on that matter are similar.

ETA: I don't plan on calling in to his show this week, but TIA to anyone who asks any/all of these questions. I doubt the answers would provide any satisfaction, though.

Another question: "Coach Miles, the team seems to respond well to the leadership of Lee and seems to fall apart around Jefferson. If this perception is wrong, Please explain why?

"Coach, how much importance do you place on a QB being allowed to get into a rhythm during the game, as well as allowing him to develop chemistry with his WRs?"

His decisions point to him not feeling these are important, so it would be interesting to see if he contradicts himself, or if he would actually say these things are not important.

Coach, you have already set the Guiness record for having your head up your arse, when do you think you will pull it out?

so we're supposed to expect a rational answer from a non rational person.

I fail to see how this possible, even in speculation.

however, if you'd like a real question:

Coach Miles, what is the chain of command for offensive playcalling during a game....also, for a given game, what percentage of calls do you make as a coach, and/or what percentage of calls does your OC make.

Another: "Coach Miles, do you believe that you deserve to earn $4million a year, based on the lack of significant achievement of wins against SEC and top 10 competition over the last two and a half years?"
