Les Miles was all about offense early on. His program made Jamarcus Russell the #1 pick in the draft.


Wrong. Jimbo Fisher's offense.
allowed by the head coach.
Miles was open to an offensive team then.

TL,DR: if Miles had the right QB, he'd have taken the training wheels off the offense. Foles would have been like Flynn here.


Wrong again. Was ten years of evidence not enough?


10 years of evidence?
Which 10 are those?

Here's what I saw- whenever we had a QB on roster good enough to make an NFL practice roster (Russell, Flynn, Mett), Miles would allow the offense to open up.

He WOULD have allowed that with Perilloux, but Ryan chose to be an idiot instead.

He initially tried to do that with Lee, but that threatened to reverse every success the program had made, so he shut that down and rode the run game and the defense, with JJ. After Mett, we were in a similar situation with Johnson and Harris; and he did try with Harris, but the light never came on.

I don't care where the QBs come from, it only matters who was here. If Foles was here, he'd have been the best guy on the roster, would have played, and would have been allowed to pass if he didn't pull a Lee out there.

Miles fought Fisher tooth and nail until he bailed. Fisher should have gotten the job instead of Miles. If he would have, LSU would have two or more Nattys than we do today.

Well if you are that blind, then I’m sorry I can’t help you.

Yeah, you were smoking a lot of crack in those years.

Like I said, bottle up that shite you are smoking and sell it, you’ll get rich.

LSU under Miles was completely incapable of developing QBs. As for as Mett goes, after his piss poor junior year, he learned his lesson and did his own thing regardless of the piss poor coaching staff. It was not like LSU was going to bench him and play someone else. He also had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

It’s a damn good thing Foles was never offered by LSU because if he would have come here, he never would be where he is at today. That guy really lucked out.
