Les understood that you can't make decisions based on what the mob thinks you should do. That's how Joe Alleva hired Ed Orgeron and put the final nail in LSU football's coffin.

Unfortunately Les did not understand how to run an offense.

But what was so hard about letting an O coordinator do what he wanted?

He let the D coordinators do what they wanted

9-6 is the worst thing that happened to Les in terms of his coaching philosophy.
In his mind this cemented the notion that his ground-n-pound could be THE WAY to beat every team.
That was followed by hubris and stubbornness.

True. But the opposite mentality is problematic as well. The mob is right sometimes and you can't run your team as if you're trying to avoid an idea that may coincide with what the layman can see.

Miles owning the top 4 scoring offenses in LSU FB history says you're wrong.
He just played to strengths and minimized exposing weakness when it came to R/P ratio.
