Let's wait and see if the offense actually does change before taking someone's word for it. We've heard a lot of things about the offense the last decade, big change it has not.

Cam is an NFL guy & despite the common believe that the college game is more innovative, NFL coaches are more prone to "barrow" concepts from other schemes. Part of me believes Cam has been in Miles ear for awhile now about tweaking the offense.

I think Miles was out to prove to everyone that a college team could still win a National Title with mostly I Formation, run heavy sets. 5 in a row to Alabama & him nearly losing his job was a big time slap back to reality. Miles has had no choice but realize that his philosophy isn't going to cut it.

What most fans don't even realize is that in San Diego even going back to the Chiefs, Marty Schottenheimer was considered as conservative as they come yet he allowed Cam more creativity with the Chargers offense than what Miles has allowed in his time at LSU. Those who are too young need to Google "Marty Ball". Schottenheimer had some great teams with the Chiefs & Chargers but they always failed in big games & the playoffs because Marty would always go to conservative in those contest. Sound familiar? Miles in the last 5-6 years has become Schottenheimer Part II. Cam has been there before & is trying to get his buddy to open his eyes before it's too late.

Why wait until Fournette leaves? He could run effectively out of a zone read spread offense.
