Miles integrity exposed his inability
Posted by chismyluv on 9/27/16 at 7:14 am45
Some folks won't and therefore don't change their thinking in order to keep pace with, or at least stay knowledgable of, the latest advances in their professional field. They stick their heads in the sand, content to use the same archaic tools that made things run smoothly 30 years ago, while the current innovators of their profession design new cutting-edge tools by applying new knowledge to new technologies to create quantum advances in their industry.
For some, the "new way" of doing things is too daunting and unnerving, so they cling even more tightly to the security of what they know best, knowing all the while that "giving up" on "keeping up" means they are marginalizing themselves completely into irrelevance.
The second reason some won't and don't keep pace is that they simply aren't intellectually skilled nor mentally capable of sustaining the requisite edginess to keep pace with the new way of doing things.
I believe that Les Miles fully intended to change the scheme and make the changes to LSU's offense to keep it relevant. In the end, however, he simply didn't have either the passion to learn or the acuity to grasp what is meant in 2016 to have a "QUALITY" college football program.
Simply put, a 2016 QUALITY SEC football team ? 1975 QUALITY Big Ten football team.

I think Cowherd said yesterday that Les is like your uncle who won't stop using his flip phone because "he likes it"

What does that have to do with his integrity?

I really don't think we need any more analysis as to why les got fired... we all know bro...

Fair enough. We know the reason but the likes of ESPN and other tv pundits are mostly saying we were idiots and reactionary in letting him go.

Some have suggested Miles was willfully misleading LSU fans for 8 months all the while not planning on doing anything different in the opener.
I'm saying he thought he was honestly making quality changes and upgrades. He was keeping his word. But it was clear that his definition of a quality team is not the current one in the majority of programs. How else could he literally say that they ran the same play on Monday and the offense scored a touchdown? Say what coach? Are you serious?
Well,yes he was as he saw things much differently than most, yet every person and his brother watching saw just the same tired run-centric offense.
