Les Miles total opposite of CFP

[gsb0824]

After tonight's game, I now have the ultimate respect for Les Miles. Talk about a guy who only knows one way to coach, and that is play to win. After seeing todays UA vs UT game, I hope CPF learns that playing not to lose does exactly that - makes you lose. CPF is conservative to the point that it hurts the team. When you play not to lose while the opposition is playing to win, the odds are not in your favor.

he may be an idiot, but he has a pair....

What Les Miles just did was not playing to win. It was miscalculating the clock and running one play too many and getting away with it.

The clock was fine. It should have been stopped (and would have if it was incomplete) at ~3 seconds.

[gsb0824]

You are totally incorrect. Les Miles had one time out and had plenty of time to use that time out. The clock ran to one second after the touchdown incorrectly. If that would have been incomplete, the clock would have been reset to at least 3 seconds left.

Yeah, they let two seconds run off after it was ruled a touchdown.

Still though . . . Why would you even take the chance of throwing an INT, taking a sack to lose yards, running out the clock etc when you've got a comfortable FG to win it?

When is a field goal comfortable. Like I said before, he plays to win, that was the point. Yes, you chance an interception, but you also chance missing a field goal, botching the snap, etc. He simply plays to win the game and leaves conservative thoughts at home.

He deffiniatly doesn't coach like he's trying to not make mistakes.
Fulmer coaches with hesitation, Miles coaches all out

GA Vol do you like any kind of excitement?

This is the same Les Miles who sat on the ball and blew a 21 point lead to us two years ago, right?

When you play not to lose, you must not have very much confidence in your ability to win

Looks like Les learns from his mistakes. CPF hasn't learned a damn thing!

Les hasn't learned jack. He's played the lottery and won about 5 times now. The luster will wear off as soon as one of these goofy calls blows up in his face.
