Of course it falls on him he's the coach that's his responsibility. He is the leader.
And I give you credit for a good post, you didn't whine or make hyperbolic statements and actually supplied reasoning for your opinion. That's rare. fwiw - The APR in year one still had an impact and he did have a few misses in late recruiting, this last year. So I'm not sure what options he had. I think the mistake was keeping all of Creans recruits from that year. Would have had more freedom in recruiting without them.
fwiw - I don't like how we prep, it's something that concerned me last year, continued into this year and showed up glaringly today. One week and we had nothing special. Every team seems to come up with something that bothers us in their game plan. We don't do the same and it's not just random, it's every fking game.
Miller has a philosophy of "we do what we do and don't worry about what they do" .. many coaches share that philosophy but in this conference you have a lot a teams that will take away everything you want to do, while laying bare every weakness you have and you have to come up with something different each game to counter it. All those slow starts aren't just us, it's the other coach exploiting a weakness.
That's the one area I would like to see huge improvement in. That's the one major flaw that is obviously a coaching weakness
We need to scout better and gameplan better. The in game tactical adjustments aren't horrible but the pre game strategies are severely lacking. If it's scouting, we need new assistants. If it's game planning, Miller needs to rethink his philosophy and adapt.
