You will have fired Miles because of lack of imagination on offense and want to replace him with a DC with no head coaching experience or offensive expertise who worked for a head coach whom we all know was the real DC? Wtf???
Because I don't buy into that "the real DC is Saban" malarkey. I believe that may be Saban's philosophy, but Smart has autonomy. And I also believe that a defensive head coach is less likely to meddle in the offense, how's that been working out for ya? Defensive head coach, that hires an offensive guru and let's him do his job. That's the idea anyway.
Not loving it. Wasn't overly impressed when he was here, plus didn't seem to handle his prima Donna very well.
Handled him well enough to win 27 consecutive games, a national championship and a spot in the 4 team playoffs. Dealing with Jameis probably cost Jimbo half his remaining hair but the managed it.
He also was a regular black eye for showing ass. That's a trade off and where I give Miles a lot of credit.
OK, to look at it in perspective, Winston was never charged with rape or sexual assault. His other transgressions were all just the stupid shit of an immature college kid; stealing crablegs, yelling obscenities in public, ect. There are former LSU players who have done worse and still played. Miles gave Ryan Perriloux second chance after third chance after fourth and fifth chances before he kicked him off the team. I don't know what the last straw act for Perriloux was but it had to be for something worse than stealing crab legs.
