The Fournette Effect: The only way for Miles to adjust

While we can all agree that it was unfortunate that LF7 had to experience the Bama game, there is a silver lining.
Miles was the last man on the planet who felt that he could outman and out-physical Bama with "want" toughness and endurance.
It took the best back in a generation, which he clearly is despite the month of November, for Miles to see that his philosophy is broke and outdated.
Any back of lesser caliber would not have gotten the attention of the boosters, and even though he was protected by Jindal and King, even Miles now knows, perhaps for the first time, that he has to change.
That's how Miles is. He does not adjust unless he had no other option.
So, in the big picture of the LSU football future, this may be just what the program needed. Not good for us as fans to experience, and certainly not for Fournette, but for the LSU program, this may just allow the adjustments needed for the 2016-and-beyond timeframe.

There were plenty on here convinced Fournette would run for 200+ yards on Bama, a thread proclaiming such had overwhelming positive support.

What was frustrating is that he could be such a weapon in the passing game.

For years,
Saban's plan has been= stop the run, LSU can not pass, or they will have to prove it.
Miles' plan = we will continue to run until we get it right, no matter how many games we lose.

i'll be honest. I don't think he adjusts even then. he thinks he has other options.

It is ludicrous,almost insane to believe that Les can change or even modify his offensive philosophy.
History has shown this over and over and over again.Believe it when you SEE IT !
Next year , after we have lost at home to Alabama and to one or two other SEC west teams, hopefully change in leadership will come.
At least one year late.

No doubt. But, if Miles is ever going to change, this is the single scenario for him to do so.

If the JJ experiment did not make you realize Miles knows best despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, LF7 certainly should have.
ETA: Meaning Miles will run LF7 into the ground, even at 1.7 yards per carry and without changing blocking schemes to try and get him going.

We run because our qb sucks. He is a weakness. It's not about stubbornness, it's about recruiting and development.

Damn dude, every time I see that avi of yours I get hungry for some fried fish with all the 'trimmings".
On a more serious note, you guys who are so adamant that Miles will not/ cannot change ought to leave yourself some wiggle room. He's pulled off some really sneaky surprises in the past.
You. Just. Never. Know.

It's strange how other QB's develop pretty readily at every other school in the country, but it literally never happens with our team. I wonder why.

Your right

Yea I have seen freshman qb at some other schools get better and better. Do you ever notice how wide open the recievers are when they throw ? You can just about bet especially this year when harris threw the wr were covered and sometimes doubled

It seems like forever. But at least we know he can think out of the box.
A question for all:
Would you rather see Miles change and develop a more creative, balanced, and successful offense that produces more wins, thus allowing him to stay on until he retires.
Or,
Have him remain obstinate and produce the same ol', same ol' and get fired next year?
