College football certainly has changed. To maintain success, you have to be flexible enough to change with it. I believe the era of lifetime - tenured coaches has passed. No more Paternos, Schembechlers, or Bowdens, who spend 30 years coaching at one place. Those days are long gone. There is a shelf life to coaching. To maintain the overall momentum of a program, you need to be willing to bring in new staff with fresh ideas. Has Miles reached that point? I don't know, but he is in his 10th season.
Just my opinion.

I don't know if the game has passed him by, but, it just seems like often, his teams look unprepared.

If he can only allow our offense to be more flexible rather than just run, run, and run. Our run will be a killer if our air raids will be allowed.

This. If Miles is willing to make some changes, I think we'll be ok. We may still lose 4 or 5 games this season, but I'll feel a lot better about the future. If he insists on riding his 3 yards and a cloud of dust 1970's Big X offense to LSU's first losing season in over a decade, then it doesn't bode well for LSU football in the future.
I don't expect him to totally retool the offense, but if he doesn't recognize that the current scheme doesn't work against the better defenses in the SEC, then I do believe that the game has passed him by.

Yet, you came into this one

Do you remember the historical offense from last year?? So no the game hasn't passed him by. We threw the ball against State maybe you remember the wide open recievers and the ball not landing withing 5 yards of them. Maybe that's why he continues to run it. Just maybe.

Sorry for the long response, but I believe Les' strategy in the run game IS out-dated and it effects the passing game by making predictable formations.
I think his style/strategy of running the football is old-school. I can't explain why in 2013 LSU runs a pro-style offense and spread formations for most of the season with Mettenberger who was in his FIRST year under Cam Cameron learning a new OC's offense, but when a QB in his second year under Cameron starts they run the old Big10 offenses from the 60s. The ONLY explanation is that AJ is incapable of opening up the offense. However, this leads me to believe that Miles/Cameron think it's an advantage to run 2TE/ i formation for the running game strictly because you can have more blockers (I don't believe that Cameron is developing the heavy package formations strategy, but I don't want to give anyone an out for the lack of spread formations).
It looks to me that Miles has the "over-power you" mentality burned in his brain as the only possible way to gain an advantage in the running game, and doesn't understand and/or believe in the advantages of spreading the field in the running game. The predictable run/pass formations gives the D an advantage, and when they try to get tricky by passing from the heavy formation with a one WR pattern it hasn't been very successful. Only when they have been forced to utilize more WR spread formations has the offense looked somewhat capable of moving the ball against the 2 quality opponents they've played.
Miles' strategy for running the ball is out-dated yes. Has it worked? Yes at times with VERY good RBs and against teams with less talent along the defensive line. Now that the SEC West has some of the most talented defensive fronts with offenses that can run up the score, I fear that LSU is in for a LONG season/s unless Miles adapts his offensive strategy to keep up with the times. He can continue to run the ball at whatever ratio he wants, but formations MUST spread the field against capable defensive fronts.
JMHO

i love seeing threads like this one season after LSU was the first team in SEC history with a 3000 yard QB, 2 1000 yard receivers, and a 1000 yard rusher.
apparently LSU fans have the memory of a goldfish
