He saw the game the way her saw it. Run first, limited mistake. Don't take changes, stay in game.
You coach what your comfortable with, likely how you were taught the game. If anyone has ever coached you know that it hard to flip it.
That being said, Nick saw the college game was changing and brought people in to teach his these new offensive wrinkles.
Les was ok with losing a game or two here and there. Nick never was and never will be. That's what separates good from great coaches, the fear of losing.

I've always wondered if it had more to do with loyalty to Cam in not wanting to usurp his authority as OC at a time where Cam was undergoing cancer therapy and possibly near the end of Cam's coaching career. IMO, he had decided that he'd made enough money and was willing to stand by his buddy even to his own detriment knowing that the contract buyout money was there if The Powers that Be were ready for a change.

quote:This is wrong. Jarrett Lee ruined Les if anything did. Les feared turnovers more than anything in football.
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.
The biggest problem in hindsight was that Les overworked the team during the weak. The first thing O changed was cutting back practice time during the weak. They just had exhausted legs on game day. The OLines under-performed year after year, and it's understandable now why they did. It was inexplicable to us fans at that time. We just didn't know how much they were expending during the weak.
