i don't know if some of you know this....but there are these guys on the payroll called coordinators.

this may be hard for some of you to hear....but Miles also has a hand in the defense and special teams as well.

The biggest problem with the offense came after Miles lost confidence in Crowton after the pick 6 year.

There was no fluidity and too much confusion because the head coach didn't trust Crowton or Stud to game plan and be in charge of the offense. He did have a lot of confidence in Krag if not for his disease.

Cameron should change that and has been changing that in practice. The players and position coaches are extremely excited about what Cameron has brought to the table so far.

I know people that are affiliated with the team and the offensive players are really excited.

But then they were last year too until the offense changed during the season early on.

We would like to see Chavis defense and Cams offense

What I have seen is that he doesn't call plays- he merely says- "run" or "pass".

I think he probably calls the trick plays specifically.

I blame Les for all of LSU's success and shortcomings. I think the first part is what you rantards are missing. Y'all do realize that we play in the toughest defensive conference in the nation every year. Though the formula may be frustrating and certainly not flashy it has been very successful. I don't have any problem with keepin games close to give yourself a chance to win, my hope is that we return to the 2011 ability to put teams away when we have the chance. Hopefully Cam brings that and 3rd down conversions to the table.

The offense changed because we lost half our o-lime and the receivers were dropping balls, but its much easier for some of you to just blame it on Led and his ego.

The problem has always been the people on here want LSU to have this wide open offense that passes almost every down. The problem is that doesn’t usually win championships.

I agree as any head coach Les probably in certain situations says we need to do this or that. (Run time off. Let’s not throw we don’t want to give them the ball back etc)

He does not carry around a play sheet. Every time I have seen him use one he has to ask someone to get it for him. If he is calling the plays as you think he’s genus.

BTW contrary to what a lot of people here think LSU passed around 40% last year. My problem is when they did it.

It could be argued chavis's defense may have cost us a game or two last year.

i havent read 4 pgs but... i don't think Les ever directly calls plays, i think he just weighs in on situationals. 4th downs, fakes, etc. although the haters will think he had his hand in every bad play since he's been here. people need to grow up and stop letting their agenda get in the way. let me tell you how this year will go: a good play: "yea Les stayed out of it!!!!" a bad play: "see i told you he's taking over for Cam and calling plays." my favorite narrative going is the one where idiots think he's incompetent and doesn't know what's going on but at the same time he's like some meddlesome mastermind with his hand in everything trying to sink the ship. our fans are just awful.
Well said.

I know someone on the staff and according to him, the changes are quite noticeable.

How many national titles, SEC titles, or west titles has the rant won compared to what Miles has won?

Lsu red zone offense lost most of the games last year. We seem to be able to score from far out but when we get in pay dirt, we kick a field goal.
