re: How would you feel if Les went to OM and ran an uptempo, wide open Offense?

I may be mistaken, but i dont think he was always ground and pound at oklahoma state. I think he got to LSU had better talent than everybody else and got ultra conservative. If he went somewhere with lesser talent, he'd open things up because he'd be getting beat so bad he'd have to.

Here's a thought: Beating Bama in 2011 regular season is the worst thing that could have happened to LSU. It made Saban reinvent his offense into a more modern style, and it made Miles never want to change his. Bama and LSU went in opposite directions after and because of that game.
