Ok, it's pretty obvious you haven't seen brandon harris throw a football.

Les got complacent after winning his first title. He thought since he had won a NC with the style he ran that nothing could be better. He was loyal to a fault with coaches that needed to go and decided to say "F the fans and the administration ... Im not changing." He thought he was untouchable and LSU canned him.

I think he knew he had to change but just couldn't pull the trigger to do it for whatever reason. I was ecstatic when I heard he was fired that Sunday after the Auburn game. I was equally saddened eight weeks later to hear that LSU hired Orgeron. The hiring of O was a bigger WTF moment than all of Les Miles WTF moments combined at LSU. I'm hoping for the best but I'm not expecting much.

you see, here's the thing. The 2007 offense was nothing like what he ran after 2008. Don't you guys remember the tight end being an integral part of the offense prior to 2008? Dickson was a feature in that National Championship season and especially in the NCG.

The bottom line is, Les won using Jimbo's system. Yes, Crowton was OC in 2007, but we didn't start using his system really until 2008. And it was all downhill offensively from there. Les never got an offensive coordinator that he trusted that was worth a shite after that. He trusted Cameron maybe, but he wasn't worth a shite, so there's that.

Les thought he was right all the time and was too stubborn to see thing any other way. The last 5 games of 2011 are a small example of what was happening from 2009 through the end of Miles' tenure, with some exceptions like 2013.
In every game after the Bama regular season game in 2011, LSU struggled to score. The lone exception is the worst Ole Miss team I've ever seen, but includes Western Kentucky, where LSU led at the half 14-7, and WKU scored a safety in the 3rd quarter. Arkansas led in the 2nd quarter. Georgia led at the half of the SECCG and every LSU fan I saw at the concession stands was sure LSU would lose. Then 21-0.
In each case except 21-0, defense or special teams sparked a comeback.
I saw that the offense was not sufficient, and so I know a lot of others must have seen that too. No changes were made.

if Ed can get production out of O and produce QBs, then really hard stand by this statement. But only future will tell

We are in a good position. Coach O will bring in great players and he is not a Hugh paid coach. If he wins then great. If not then we get a loaded roster for our next coach
