The modern passing game

To admit this would cost him his job

So he will just wait until LSU figures this out and fires him

It's worked for over five years and $15 mil so far

He could just let his offensive coordinator run the offense, but I guess his ego gets in the way.

Your post is kinda hard to read but I agree with your point; I don't think Les Miles actually understands a modern offense.

He could easily hire a new OC and give him complete autonomy.

A manager can not supervise a subordinate whose job the manager does not understand at all

Ie I could not supervise a Japanese interpreter if I spoke no Japanese

Saban hired Kiffin to modernize the offense when he knew the passing game was passing him by but Saban at least understands the basics!

that. I don't think Cam is much better than Miles at understanding it either. HOw was it that Cam wasn't fired at the end of last season. That right their said nothing was going to change.

LSU looked horrible it just makes me wonder with les being in the hot seat why not let the OC do his job. If he still sucks O well.

He's like a chess player from the 70s who can't adapt to computer chess.

That ship sailed before the Mayflower.

He had the chance. Now, he's fricked.

He doesn't need to understand it. He just needed to get the frick out of the way.

That he didn't makes him an a-hole.

I still don't understand how an old frick like Bill Snyder can modernize his offense (to an extent) while Les can't seem to grasp that he has to evolve as well.

Sorry about the topic confusion Chicken, I was trying to get the entire premise in there as recommended.
Rookie mistake!

Yes you could.

You hire someone widely known as being great at it, then watch the results.

If every time he interprets, everyone gets pissed off he's not translating right, you fire him.

Well. You hire a guy known for offense. Get the frick out of the way.

If you can't score. Look for someone else.

Look at Dabo Swinney. Look at Gary Patterson. Hell, look at Nick Saban.

Saban changed, so can Miles. Miles has a bigger ego than Saban which is astounding, and is also why he will die on his own sword.

He doesn't want a modern passing game and most of you shouldn't either as they kill the defense.. He rightfully wants a power run game to control the game, he just isn't willing to change his style to fit the philosophy.. Bama, Baylor, now Texas, Ohio at all rely on a power run to control the game.. Miles would've been wise to implement their style with his philosophy.. He hasn't and it will probably cost him his job..

Forget the emotional crap everyone is spewing. This is exactly the opinion I formed last season and why I am ready for a new day.

Everyone using the word "can't" is wrong.

The appropriate word is won't.

As in Les WON'T change.

The problem isnt his knowledge, it's his character.

People are just having a hard time accepting that because the whole "Les is an awesome human being" meme has been beaten into their heads.
