First off, its not unsubstantiated. Fisher stated this after he left LSU.

If you can't tell we aren't running Crowton's offense at all, and running pure Big 10 offense at several key points in the game, you are blind. It's not just about Les having a playcard in his hands in the 2nd half of the Arky game, but the fact the whole game plan changed from the first 2.5 quarters to the last.

Miles is notorious for this, and has had this issue even before coming to LSU and clashed with Gundy at OSU. Obviously Gundy's offenses aren't too bad without him there.

Miles wants a Big 10/old school offense with a few wrinkles added in. This season when the QBs didn't develop (which is okay if the defense was worth a shite), Miles likely panicked and decided it was Crowton's fault and played to avoid mistakes by going to his roots.

Fisher also claimed Saban and Bowden did the same thing. The common thread is Jimbo blaming people, not Miles actually doing it.

what happened with Gundy?

and by the way, after the Ole Miss loss in 01, Saban had to make Jimbo open up the offense.

None of what you say matches what happened on the field. Miles has had the play sheet in his hands for 3 years...it's part of what every offensive head coach does - check the plays as they come in.

Crowton is on record the last few days explaining why he made certain calls in the game...the exact plays people are claiming Miles forced on him.

Also, if he were going back to his roots of running the ball in a cloud of dust fashion, our QBs wouldn't have thrown 15+ INTs in the last few games and our RBs would have more than 20 carries. Nothing you say makes sense, other than you are just pissed and looking to rabble on about things.
