I found the passage about Harris in Feldman's book, "QB."

The Elite 11 staff was curious to see how Brandon Harris performed. There were no doubts about his arm strength or athleticism, although the staff wanted to see more polish on his passing skills instead of being a "one-pitch pitcher," relying on his fastball.

"The big concern with him is about his mental makeup," said one of the coaches. "When we saw him in Dallas, he kept telling people how he'd never really been coached before. Like, he was using the same excuse, the same crutch, on people. He sounded rehearsed. You wonder if he's the guy who makes excuses when the chips are all on the table and things aren't going right. You wonder how he'd carry a locker room. Will kids see right through him?"

So the kid explaining that he wasn't really being coached on the QB skills equals that he is trying to find a scapegoat? Feldman is a hack and some of those coaches are pathetic. The kid was stating that he hadn't been coached on the things that every freaking egotistical coach at that camp demanded of him. What do they expect him to say?

He was able to be successful with how he was playing in high school. Most coaches in high school are there to win games not develop college/pro-caliber QBs, yet some expect them to be that for some estranged reason.

So next time someone goes to a new job and they aren't prepared in something, they should just be like "yeah, I don't know how to do that because I am lazy and don't take responsibility for what I don't know" rather than, "I am sorry, but I wasn't trained on that at my previous job".

For whatever reason Miles and Cameron had for not playing Harris, LSU has a bigger problem when their coaches can't seem to develop a highschool QB consistently.
