MIke Gundy and Josh Henson on Miles' offensive philosophy

someone posted this in another thread, but thought it was worth a new thread. was this article posted around bowl time earlier in the year? maybe not since LSU's offense was putting up record numbers last season with ZM, Hill, OBJ, & Juice.

I heard an interview with Jimbo after he left that said basically the same thing.
quote:
IRVING, Texas • A decade ago Mike Gundy and Josh Henson would sit in the Oklahoma State offensive meeting room and draw up plays they knew their boss would never run. That boss was Cowboys head coach Les Miles.
Henson coached tight ends and Gundy was offensive coordinator. But Miles called the shots, of which there were few downfield in an offense that had its roots in the power running game Miles learned as an offensive lineman under Bo Schembechler at Michigan.
Henson and Gundy’s ideas “would go on deaf ears with Les,” Gundy said here this week, “because it didn’t involve two tight ends and a fullback.”
Henson and Gundy weren’t alone in their thinking. Henson, now Missouri’s offensive coordinator, said part of OSU’s staff wanted more spread formations, more deep passes to stretch defenses vertically.
“We felt like we had pretty good personnel with three or four wide receivers,” Henson said. “But you have to be who you are in this job. I know that sounds so cliché, but that’s not who Les Miles was.”

I posted that in the OSU offense thread.
in Les' defense, he did spread the field quite a bit with Jimbo and Crowton. 3 WRs was kinda common in 06 (and sometimes 4 with Lafell), and Crowton went with a lot of 5 wide in 07 and 08.
I think Les just reins things in too much when he doesn't quite trust his passing game.

udtiger you are an idiot. If you honestly think this is Cam Cameron's offense you are stupid as shite. Miles has been doing this same exact shite since he got here.

yeah..i'm just figuring this out dumbass!
i posted it because it's what most people on here already suspect and the miles lovers think is untrue, but there it is in black and white.

You think Cam's offense is coincidentally like Stud's offense? This O has Miles all over or, not even a question.

My bad JYD. There are so many idiots on this board that have no clue about football. You should have said "this is for the Miles apologizers" lol

It probably would have driven Gundy crazy if LSU pounded his team in the dome on 1/9
