re: Miles Says Offensive Scheme Is Not The Problem

quote:

The defense has carried this team for a while. Many fans and experts have been saying for years the offense has issues. Why can't we be consistent offensively? Teams with far less talent are much more productive year in year out with their offense...why is it wrong to want the offense to be better?

It's not wrong, it's just a different philosophy.

For nearly 10 years Miles has used a philosophy of conservative run-based offense, a stingy defense, and tight special teams. Other teams have much more wide open offensive attacks, and score a lot more points.

Les Miles Philosophy has won him more games than just about anyone else in the country since he's been at LSU. Why change philosophy? If you don't like that approach to offense, why not pull for another team that fits the style of football you prefer?

Last year we laughed at Auburn and A&M's offensive philosophies, now we want to emulate them?

One last thing: Last year we saw what the coaching staff is willing to do with an experienced QB. LSU set offensive production records for the school last year. Why does everyone seem to think that he can't do anything but run out of goal line formations? He CAN and he's proven that he WILL, when he has confidence in the players to execute properly.
