Les Miles owns the best offense in school history (Jimbo was nowhere in sight). Two of the top three ever, and led the conference in rushing and scoring last year.

Fair enouugh. Do you place the blame of the offensive struggles in the years preceding 2011 on Miles or Crowton?

I don't care who get the blame or credit. It has to be better. The guy has had rippin offenses everywhere he's been. He won with a guy that got fired from Maryland. He won 10 games with the 11th ranked offense in the conference. He flat out can coach. The struggles are over blown. In 2008 we had the fifth best offense in the league. In 2009 and 2010 we struggled, but in 2010 we won a lot of games for a bad offense. Winning is the one thing that Les has over all other comers.

Preceding 2011 - Crowton.

With Crowton at OC, the LSU offense took a step back each year. Abysmal playcalling and poor QB play were a major source of the offensive issues, Gary Crowton was also QB coach.

In 2011 - Crowton finally gone, the LSU offense during the first 8 games was almost perfect. A rushing attack consisting of 4 very talented RBs, and a solid passing attack that hit timely deep passes and converted 3rd downs. The passing game didn't set records, but it was a balanced offense LSU had not seen in many years.

Enter JJ -
