Will we see the resurgence of the Mad Hatter in 2016?

We all know and remember well that when Les is confident in his team, he is ballsy. 4th downs vs UF, Byrd TD vs AU, etc..The general consensus on TD seems to be he has tempered that, to an extent.

This year is a high expectation year coming off of a failed coup.

I hope we see him whip his balls out and lay em on the table this year, win or lose. Because that's what I think about when I think about good LSU teams. Fearlessness starting with the HC, and the shite was contagious.

I think we might.

I don't have a good reason for it, it's just sorta in his demeanor. Feels like he's got a spark.

Back against the wall this year. He's gotta feel that way.

Hopefully the only game we may need this is against BAMA.

The law of averages have just caught up to Les the last few years. He went bananas with 4th downs and trick plays the first few years, but hasn't had nearly the luck since.

He went for it on fourth down so many times against Florida because he had the weaker team an could not afford to give the ball back to Tebow.

BTW, did you see the fake field goal vs Florida last year? The Mad Hatter hasn't gone anywhere.

Oh, and "general consensus" is redundant. A consensus is always general.

Remember the magic from 2007 and 2011? I sure hope it's back! I saw guts and balls all over the place. I saw a hungry defense that was all in. I miss that. It's on!!

Miles lost confidence in his offensive staff after 1/8/12 and has gone into a bit of a shell. He wants to go back to his roots with Schembechler football because that's what he trusts. He is thus micromanaging. So no, outside of the traditional fake kick against Florida, I'm not expecting any real changes.

If we see passing to the Rb's, an effective short passing game and a turnaround in Special Teams, I will eat my words. But until then, we won't see the Hatter.

Agreed

But this year LSU is loaded. Legit loaded. Like multiple first rounders loaded. Combine that with, just maybe, an eye opening experience almost being fired and I have to think this year LSU will be all in on every hand.

Nah, LSU is to good for all that mad hatter stuff. LSU ends the season without ever trailing in the second quarter on!

Les is not going to change a single thing. Why should he?
