This wasn't a coach O problem. I was at the game and I didn't see him fumble once or be on the field 4 times inside the 7 and not get in. This was lack of execution plain and simple.
Everything is on the head coach. Except maybe when they are interim. Not fair to Oeaux but he knew going in. Also this isn't a problem usually so I would give him a pass.
I would agree with this, and in the old days when the sunshine pumpers and minions were choosing sides, I occasionally defended Miles with the same argument. The reason I feel it holds up better today is that in the end, good coaching decisions (clock management, opening up the passing game more in the second half) put us in position to win. Whether or not the final play call was a good one becomes moot when you realize the execution was botched.
I was a defender of Miles until we lost to Arkansas in 2014. I love coach O. I hope he sticks around and coaches the D line again. But this falls on his shoulders. This team looked like shit today. They play calling was pretty terrible inside the goal line, special teams errors, turnovers, etc. those are signs. And against a bunch of back ups. Unacceptable.
Hey, I get holding the coach accountable. But the major things that ultimately went wrong and ultimately cost us the game - a fumble at the goal, a dropped snap on a FG, a fumble on a kickoff - weren't the result of coaching decisions
Agree but miles had a 12 yr history of doing the same shit. Oeaux has done the opposite for the most part.
