He said both actually. His last idea was spread. I guess he needed that to help him get the job so narrative changed.

When he became LSU’s interim head coach, he endorsed a pro-style offense that was similar to what was run at USC under Pete Carroll, sort of a West Coast-style offense that leaned on talented running backs like Reggie Bush and LenDale White and accurate, but not necessarily strong-armed, passers like Matt Leinart and Mark Sanchez.

But Saturday, Orgeron seemed to do an about-face on that.

“I do believe that nowadays, you have to run the spread offense,” Orgeron said. “You have to have dual-threat quarterbacks that can run the ball and throw it. You have to have somebody who knows how to run it.”

Also, downvote all you want TD, but my statement is true. O can find other coordinators without the baggage. It amazes me how many of you ignore rape/sanctions to win a football game. Pretty sad.
