The question is, why did it take Brady to change the offense?

What mental block was in front of other coaches that kept them from implementing an effective and productive offense? Why Brady? Why did it take Brady to implement this new offensive scheme?
For well over a decade fans and critics have recognized that "if LSU can adopt a modern offense", "if LSU can get a great QB", etc., etc.
I'm just baffled it took this long.
It's like we become a victim of our own self imposed limitations.
Credit to Coach O for recognizing the potential on offense and bringing someone in to help reach that potential.

Because he knew the spread offense
And now E knows the spread offense

Most things modern are coming from a younger generation. Not to many Ensminger types out there revolutionizing the game of football. However, you need guys like him to help structure the play calling to make it work.

Most coaches know the spread offense. It's not a mystery.
I suppose next year will answer the question a little more fully. Was it scheme or personnel? Of course Joe implemented the spread offense at an elite level. Will Brennan be able to do the same? Likely not at the same level as Joe but should be pretty high.

I feel like if our offensive line was better last year, we'd have been a little more loose in the passing game.
Brady knew how to get the ball out quick and now E does.

Miles was stubborn and simply refused to change.
O tried to change things immediately when he hired Canada. That obviously didn't work out. O then hired a guy he was comfortable with (Ensminger) to run the offense in order to avoid a repeat of 2017 with the issues between O and Canada.
However, Steve, who had a significant career previously as an OC was kind of set in what he liked to run. Once it was clear that offense wasn't going to be good enough O (and Steve) when looking for help to "modernize" the approach. They found it in Brady who then stepped into a PERFECT situation to fully implement and execute his approach. Experienced QB; Very talented WR's who now had experience; An experienced OL and an underrated jack-of-all trades RB to give LSU a major weapon.

Didn’t realize the spread was some sort of Rubin’s cube...

Knowing and understanding concepts? Yes
Truly understanding everything about it? No way

O specifically said he and E agreed to go out and get someone to teach them the spread offense.
From the horse’s mouth.

Sean, Belichick, and Reid are kind of old dudes that are still putting offenses on the field that are very productive. I don't buy the old/young stereotype.
Back in the day there was Air Coryell. There was an "old" coach that was tearing up NFL defenses during his time.

Belichick is a defensive coach who knows A LOT about offense.
Similar to Saban.
Neither have their own “inherited” offensive philosophy though.
It’s their OC’s philosophy.

I believe you but it's dumbfounding to me that this is the case. This is your profession. This is what you do 24/7/365. You are supposed to know everything about it.

It was Orgeron who changed the offense. He brought in Brady to implement the offense he envisioned.
Miles ran the offense he liked no matter the OC.

Didn’t have a qb for it. You can’t run the offense LSU did this year with an inaccurate and indecisive qb.
And I know Burrow was the qb last year. That dude needed a year on the field and time with his guys to be able to do what they did this year.
Brady was a huge get; no doubt. But nowhere near as huge as Burrow and his growth allowed for the thing to take off
Also hot take is LSU would have won it all this year no matter what offense they were running. The personnel was that good

Completely agree with you here.
It’s why I feel if I’m a coach like coach O who doesn’t have an expert understanding of a defensive (or offensive) philosophy, that I’d soak up everything guys like Aranda are running and adopt it as my own so I’m less of an X’s and O’s liability if I’m ever relied upon.

This. Jarrett Lee, Jordan Jefferson, Anthony Jennings, and Brandon Harris could not have run this offense effectively.

O was a nervous wreck after hiring Canada and that fall out.
He went with his trusted buddy E.
E recommended to O about Brady at saints camp.
We were extremely lucky and caught lightening in a bottle.
There is a shite ton of pressure on O for this hire and DC. Because we need consistency. Not the offense we had with Canada and E.

This is a good point.
I read Sean Payton's book and he speaks directly to the issue of "risk" and how some coaches play the percentages game straight up. But Sean takes the approach of calling what looks like a risky play in "normal" situations and become a lot less risky under special circumstances. He talked about how the Saints recovered the on sides kick a the beginning of the the second half of SB 44 and how he increased the chances of recovery from 20% to 50%.
