It's standard procedure for major scrimmages. Everyone does it--refs makes some extra cash and teams have to toe the line. It helps coaches find their problem guys before the real game.
He is right. Miles is like a broken record lately saying things like we will get it corrected and they never do.
I think his point is - why do you have to hire a ref to tell you whether or not someone is lining up offsides? I could tell them that.
exactly For Les Miles to imply we need refs at our practices to tell us what we should already know just makes our head coach look silly.
Maybe next he'll hire a committee to come in and figure out why he burned the redshirt of the star of the 2008 signing class, and he's still not seeing the field pretty much at all.
Yeah makes ya kinda wonder... but i'll stick with the notion that just maybe it's a service at his disposal and he said wtfn.
It's to make players aware that they don't have to please them selves, they have to please a referee.
How long have you watched this game? This practice is nothing new and every serious team does it. Nick did it, Dinardo did it, Charlie Mac did it.
