Besides the obvious willingness to change the identity of our offense and hire great coordinators, one thing Ive noticed is player development. A big conversation with les was we get all this top talent but still don’t have the success we expect. With CEO, these underrated and mid level recruits are now superstars in college football, 2 star and 3star guys are balling out. Yes getting Burrow here changed everything but I really think Ed and the coaches he surrounds the players with are doing a better job of developing talent.

Les had an IQ 75% of O’s.

Les would have similar offensive success this year as lsu HC if Burrow was his QB

he would have trusted burrow and the WRs

Another big difference is O actually follows through with what he says he is going to do

At first I thought he was just being a salesman and telling the fan base what they wanted to hear. Glad to be wrong on that note.

I think Les had a streak of defiance and arrogance. He wanted to prove to people that his style of football could make it consistently and we saw the end results.

It worked against many teams, but to beat a team like Bama, you’ve got to be able to have a balanced attack.

He’d still be trying to run the toss dive against 8 man fronts

You’re talking about the coach who said that the only way to win was to run right at the strength of an opponent. I’m not twisting words; he said that. So no, we would not have similar success.

Ed was a previous failure. About to be fired. He had to throw a hail Mary. He was running out of people to point his fingers at. Landed Brady and saved his arse.

Miles had skins on the wall and felt he was bulletproof and wouldn't be touched. Plus he had many millions in the bank. O had more urgency.

Uh, everything? Lol, Les wouldn't have this team playing like they are right now. Hell, we wouldn't even have gotten burrow if miles was still here. We would have lost a couple of games already and looking to play in the outback bowl or something like that. O just manages this program and makes better hires etc...than miles did. Give me O over miles anyday, even in the best years of miles career here, he only won by out talenting teams, then when we played teams like bama or others with similar talent, we got exposed. His just too simple and too old school. His perspective on what a football team should look like and the schemes that should be implemented to suit our talent was just way subpar for the talent we always have. Miles squandered way too much talent and pretty much let his hard headed stubborn approach to offense cost LSU a couple of national titles in his time here. We had national title caliber talent on alot of his teams, but he mismanaged them and we underachieved big-time. huge difference between miles and O. Also, Les was notorious for poor game management and clock management, poor qb evaluation and zero progression in their skills when they actually got on campus. Our qbs never seemed to be worth a shite. Lol, that should never happen here, we should have qbs begging to run our offense with the talent they would have to utilize at LSU. O is the better head coach without a doubt. I'm glad we don't have miles, but, though he underachieved here, I'm grateful for what he did here.

This, and it’s funny that people try to deny things like this.

When Les had Mett, we had a 3,000 yard quarterback, 2 - 1,000 yard receivers, AND a 1,400 yard running back.

You can only run the offense your QB is capable of.

Dude, we wouldn't even have Joe burrow if miles was here. You do realize that O is the reason we have burrow right? We also wouldn't have Joe Brady...I promise you that. He is the main reason why our offense is totally different this year. So, we wouldn't have Brady and we wouldn't have burrow, lol...but Miles would have had the same success? GTFO. That doesnt even make sense bc we wouldn't have the key pieces in place to even have this offense if miles was still here. I'm not here to bash miles at all and I'm thankful for the good memories he gave us here, but he isn't as good of a coach as O is and he wouldn't have the success that O is having right now. Period.

This is my point. There are obvious differences many of which can contribute to the success O is having. Just stating that one many people may not think about is there are more 4 and 5 star players on Bamas team and more 2 and 3 star players on ours. Which tells me the staff now is doing a better job at player development than Les’ was.
