re: 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.

First of all, you need to realize that what you saw this year wasn't simply "changing to a modern offense".

It's the simplest of the simple who have concluded that all LSU had to do was move to a spread. What Brady brought was the ability to take the concepts, implement them effectively. And, then you saw elite players (particularly an elite QB) executing that offense.

Having said that there is truth that this style of offense is the right way to go and gives us an advantage because we should be able to roll out playmakers all over the field. The biggest question will be whether or not we can consistently find very good QBs.
