Crooms and Miles make very similar mistakes as head coaches. Crooms gets the nod because Miles had already been the head coach of a BCS program prior to LSU. Sly quite possibly just didn't know any better and one could make the argument that he was learning on the fly. Miles is just stupid. </p>
I don't know. I've seen some pretty stupid **** out of Croom, but once they got down to field goal range, Croom would have kept running the ball to set up the fg.
As posted, LUS wins in spite of Miles. But there has to be some credit for Miles getting the players there. For example, Crooms had better walk QBs than recruited, scholarship QBs.
