If we could flip the situation, Miles after GD, and Saban after Miles.
Miles would not have had near the winning % he does now.
He is between a 50% and 60% winning coach.
2011 is the exception not the rule.

Anyone who thinks that he is suddenly going to change to a modern offense is smoking crack. He gets a hard on when he runs it 4 times in a row from the one yard line. He lives for that.
God our fans are fricking idiots.

When you have a big talent difference, you can walk to the line and say what you will run, and the defense wont be able to do much about it.
when the talent is close or better, ie bama Defense front, you are screwed if you cant make them slow down and think, or defend the whole field.
The talent gap between bama and lsu is bigger than the gap between lsu and ole miss.
And for the record saban had one of the most talented teams in lsu history in 2001 and lost 3 games.

Coach Bo is gone so Les needs his coordinator to run his offense so Les needs to stop meddling in the offense unless 2016 season will be a repeat of last season.

Moreover, in terms of competing for championships, getting this corrected is more important than another great recruiting class, hiring Aranda, flushing Alleva, or banishing piped-in noise from TS.
You are wrong about that.

Rumor is that Les is entertaining some changes on O so maybe we should inform him not to since it's "always fine."

You think a lack of talent's been the problem all along? Both the incoming recruiting rankings and the outgoing NFL drafts tell the world we've had/got the talent. And we led the SEC in D as recently as '14 (hard to believe but we did).
That's why I say that as far as making headway toward championships, we need to have a fully-functional O.

Where LSU does it wrong IMO is that, you can still utilize your QB's strong points without putting pressure on him, but they seldom do this. The way LSU does it actually puts more pressure on the QB. By being so conservative and not using his skills your actually putting more pressure on him when they do face a must pass situation. He is not prepared and comfortable to face that situation because he has been protected within the offense and isn't ready.
I certainly agree with this, in principle. we need to open things up in the early part of the year where a mistake isn't going to cost us the game.
still, a college QB should be able to execute the easy pass plays, the screens, the roll outs, the dumps, etc, etc. it is very disconcerting to see the mass failure to execute simple plays in pretty much every game. all qb's miss at times but ours have been much, much worse.
personally, i'd like us to open it the hell up from the get go next year. LF would still get his 200 yds, esp if the opposing D has to defend the pass.

Yep, but tread lightly lest thou findest thyself in agreement with the OP.

Show me a team that has won without it. Recruiting is important>
Alabama, OSU, FSU recruit.

Sure, but we also need a Functional Defense, and good players.
There are a lot of bad teams that put up numbers on offense.

This is something I really believe also .....
I read once that Bo would practice and prepare as though they were playing Ohio state every week , saying that if they were prepared to beat Ohio st that they could beat anyone on their schedule.....
To me their is no element of surprise, no catching a team off guard , no fooling anyone ,..,
It's pound it down their throats and make them quit ...
I like the part of physically beating an opponent , you also have to incorporate the mismatches and the out smarting an opponent...
Remember the BCS game v Ohio st , the Buckeyes didn't know what to expect , they were scratching their heads and couldn't figure out how to stop the Tigers ...,
Les has won a lot of games and I give him all the credit as a head coach deserves , but his stubbornness has cost the Tigers at times also ....

Did you just start following lsu football?
We hear this same thing every year.
Just because you add some plays doesnt mean you are changing the scheme.

Because we have a message board full of football ignorant posters that think.....
1.They know the strengths and weaknesses of our players better than Miles.
2. That Miles never plays to a players strengths.
3.that our offense is really simple when in fact its our scheme that makes younger qbs struggle at times.

If what he says is incorrect we wouldn't have the offensive problems we do year after year.
We had good offenses in 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011,& 2015 ( yes last yeat we finished 4th, in the sec, in yards per game and 3rd in offensive points per game)
Stop acting like our offense has sucked during Miles career. Miles' tenure has mutiple offenses that had the highest points per game in lsu history.

Why are there so many Mile's apologist who will take average results year after year based on his one MNC and Two SEC championships that are well in the rear view mirror now.
God i hate our ignorant and entitled fan base.
Yeah miles only has the best win %in lsu history.
We have finished top 20 9 out of his 11 seasons.
We have finished top 15 8 of his 11 seasons.
We have finished in the top 10 in 6 of his 11 seasons
Stop acting like every season except 2007 and 2011 were average.
The last 5 years' win loss record os better than Saban's tenure at lsu. Let that sink in.
