re: If Les is willing, is it time to revamp the offensive system?

we need dual threat
they win championships

oh and defense


srry forgeot that part

I don't want an Oregon offense. I don't want a tam offense.

I want a power running game (which we have) with a pro style pass game(which we have to potential).

We lost the bowl game. Oh well. Offense would have had much better stats this year if the Oline performs more consistently (like against Bama) and receivers would catch (too many drops early in the year).

Mett played decent for a first year starter and I expect a better QB next year.

We must be more successful in the red zone and we have to have a better FG kicker.



I believe all of that will be improved next year except for maybe the kicker (that will be a mystery).

And, like it or not, I would submit that even though we beat Oregon in 2011, and we've won a championship and they haven't, that Chip Kelley and the Oregon program is held in higher esteem nationally than LSU....because they have an exciting offense.

Obviously you "looked". Hmmm...

The up tempo offense requires a certain type of QB. I'm fine with the pro style conventional offense but not the predictability and lack of ingenuity we have right now.

Pro style doesn't mean toss diving into 9 man fronts.

There is nothing wrong with our offensive "system". The problem is with execution. This is a player and coaching staff issue and is correctable.

Hopefully the Oline will be upgraded next season with better tackles. Mett needs better protection. Then we need plays that get our recievers open. Then Mett needs to hit recievers with the ball. Then the recievers need to catch the ball. Those are the changes that need to be made.

In order to find out if we should change out offensive system, we should first look to try to define what our system was/is.

2009-2011 we were zone-read with a quarterback who absolutely HATED running it. He had the skills but not the mental toughness needed to run the system he was most ideally suited for.

2011 through 8 games we were very pro style with no option and we led the SEC in passing efficiency and blew folks' doors off.

This year we tried to be run heavy but attrition and vanilla schematics along with some lumps in execution cost us.

But at times we go haywire. Bowl game is case in point. We ran a hair under 50 plays, and run pass was 40:60...with a decided advantage in the run game and 8 sacks passing.

We got away from our identity, telegraphed some plays and got torched by what all accounts is/was a shitty DL.

Bottom line is that we aren't sure what our identity is at this point. We go back and forth with scheme and personnel, and none of it seems to work consistently. When we had a good thin going in 2011, we went away from it ASAP when Jefferswag beat the rap.

We got told in 2008 we needed a mobile QB that could make plays with his legs. In late 2008, we thought we had it.

In 2009-2010, we were told we needed more pro-style, that the zone read option stuff was ineffective. In 2011, we got pro style, it worked, and we still went away from it.

In 2012, we thought we knew what we were, but we sputtered, leaned on a QB whose WR's couldn't catch it, didn't take advantage of the backs in the passing game, forgot what TE's were for, and then at the end, forgot who we were...

Bottom line is that we need an identity, we need better execution, and we need the ability to adapt the system to the talent on hand. Our head coach has made a series of shitty hires without success...I'm worried...

Never Happen...hasn't happened, won't happen.

LSU Fans will need to Get on Board with Miles lack of style ...or Pick a New Team...He will not Change.

Well until Miles gets that this 3plays and punt shite isnt going to win us a NC, he wont let the OC take the reigns. Hell he lets the DC call anything that feels right. Our defense is great. He puts his two cents in on the offense and we are on a steady decline.
We keep up this offensive decline and our recruiting will steadily decline with it. Still puzzles me why ANYONE would send their son here to play QB. Our passing attack sucks. Everyone else is lightyears ahead of our scheme..
If everyone had our talent,they would beat us like a drum.Its a shame to have talent and not use it

The only comment I have heard from Miles so far came in post game comments where he said an obvious adjustment needs to be made on offense. Guess I am a nega-Miles who believes he will change.
