Title: Booger McFarland: 'LSU has got the best team they’ve had since Nick Saban left'

Interesting and I agree with him. Now if Miles insists on running the ball 70% or more of the time, he will be fired because he can't win that way now.



Quote
He said he’s heard this offseason that LSU coach Les Miles had a coaching epiphany after a tumultuous 2015 season that nearly saw him fired after a three-game November losing streak, that he’s finally willing to expand the Tigers’ offensive repertoire.

“But I also heard it two years ago,” McFarland said. “LSU has been so successful doing it one way. It’s human to want to go back to what’s worked.


Quote
“The hardest thing to do in football is move a man against his will,” he said. “But if you can do it you take something out of him. The problem is when you hit someone in the mouth and you can’t take it away. You can’t do that against Alabama.
“Nick may be the best college football coach ever because he’s always the best prepared. Talent wise, LSU is better (this season). Can they be better prepared?”

This summer LSU is a bonanza for people like McFarland who make their living talking about college football. No team is probably a better talker than LSU, with its championship-caliber talent – 18 returning starters and a Heisman Trophy front runner in Leonard Fournette – and a coach whose seat may not be as hot as it was in November but is still pretty warm. McFarland sees a great opportunity for the Tigers this season.

A new OC & a "promise" by Miles to throw the ball more. They do have a QB with good potential.

I thought Cam Cameron was Miles great offensive mind? He said this coach would turn them around. RTR!

They'd be dangerous with a (multidimensional) offense, but we've been saying that since the 2012 BCSCG.

I just don't know if Miles will keep his hands off the offense & let the OC do his job. Even if he does at the start of the season, will he revert back to the run game later in the season? Interesting.
