    You don't have to play nice. I can take it. It's not true that I don't support any of his work. The decisions he's made to get the defense to its current state has my full support. That success must now be replicated on offense. I'm not expecting the offense to be as good as the defense. Les must detach himself from any role in the offense though. The "incapability" to fix the offensive woes arise out of his stubbornness. He's not shown even an inkling of change. In fact, he constantly states that the current path is the correct one and that it will continue on.

    One up the middle; two to the right and two to the left.

    I know that you've said before that eve though Les Miles made it to the top of his profession, he is an idiot. I just believe that he knows a lot more about football than you or I, and that he is NOT paid to "stay out of the way" and smoke a bowl with Mett.

    Fire away...I'm tough; I can take it.

    He's paid to put an FBS caliber offense on the field and he's not doing that. Some CEOs are very hands on while some are very hands off. You go with what works best. It has become very clear that thr LSU offense would be better off with a hands off CEO. That doesn't make him a bad coach, just a bad OC

    We have told you that you are wrong In thought. les has made changes every year.

    In fact, you still are blabbering about nothing and 90% of your comments are false in nature..

    The issue is that the changes have not worked. Though the idea that he has done nothing and will do nothing is 100% false.

    Kinda reminds me of last year when JJ sucked... the very next game we would all wait to see if he would start JL again, then JJ would come on the field. LOL
    I said it in an earlier post (hell there are too many of these threads already!), but when I see playing like that in the first half, I usually expect to see something different the second half... but that doesn't happen. Instead, we saw the same rehashed plays all over again. In recent years past, we used to see that from LSU... when the first half had us yelling at the TV and standing on our chairs pissed off, LSU would come out in the second half and actually look like a different team.

    We did vs UGA and other teams...

    The o line is a major issue.... This cannot be over stated.

    NO HE IS PAID TO WIN and PUT BUTTS in SEATS. That is the only measure he will be judged on. Look at the expansion of the stadium. Did it happen because of the offense? NO it happened because of the past several years LSU has been a top tier team by winning so many games.

    There's been no changes offensively. Moving the title of offensive coordinator around from person to person is NOT change. Les Miles has been and remains the offensive coordinator. I'm not saying that he's calling every play, although he may as well. However, he exercises stern control over the entire offense and ties the hands of the so called offensive coordinator.

    Myself along with many others have not witnessed the changes that you make reference to. Substantive change is the measuring stick, not meaningless personnel(title) changes among the offensive staff. Miles should just fire Studrawa and calls the offensive plays via a dice roll. There's only about four plays anyway, maybe a few more. Still, we can trash a few of the miserably failing excess plays and go with four. The dice roll would actually be an improvement.

    Perhaps the dice wouldn't land on the same play for every first down.
