The big lesson here is that LSU doesn't need to go to an all out spread in one season or with the next coach. They need more creativity within the Pro Style (like Mich St, Stanford, Georgia ect.) Trying to go from a power team to a spread team overnight isn't a great recipe for success like Michigan found out.

The problem you have is thinking that LSU's team is built anything like the type of players Michigan had during that time. Michigan had Big 10 country players in a typical Big 10 boring pro style offense. Rich Rod's offense and personnel he needed for that offense was insanely different. He didn't have the athletes, and those kids came from pro style high school offenses and continued it at Michigan.

LSU has athletes by the truckload, including at QB. The guys we recruit play in a bunch of spread offenses down here in the south (same as Myles Brennan), and would do better to continue playing in these types of offenses.

I just get excited every time when I think what a guy like Lindsey Scott or Lowell Narcisse could do in a Tom Herman offense, or what Myles Brennan could do in a Kendall Briles offense.
