I've been saying this since the Crowton era. Les runs this God for saken offense. For all of the pumpers screaming for a new OC, here's a reality check...LES CALLS THE SHOTS.

I recall in 1999 when Dinardo said "we don't need a so-called offensive genius to come in and run an offense we already know". That was his comment after being asked why he replaced Morris Watts with Bob McConnell, who I believe was the O line coach. Well, the O blew balls in '99 because...Dinardo didn't need any help running an offense according to him. Sounds stubbornly familiar.

I don't know if Miles calls all the shots are not.Based on comments on this board, seems that most think Miles calls all plays.However, I found a statement from his press conference on South Carolina interesting.He said,"we went to the pass twice in that series that if I recall, I would have done different."That statement sounds like someone else made the calls when we were on the goal line just before half time and had to settle for the field goal.

Lets see...GD won 57% of his games, won 10 games in one season, never won the SEC, and never had a team ranked in the top 10.

Les on the other hand, is winning 80% of his games, won 11+ games 5 times, won the SEC twice, and has LSU living in the Top 10.

Using GN in a comparison to LM is bout as BS as it gets, but knock yourself out.

WR coach and that was the worst O we have ever had predictability wise. Kentucky said after they drilled us that we used so few sets they knew what the plays were in almost each set.
