Who Thinks Jimbo is a good offensive coach?

In my opinion. No question. However, everyone calling for Cam's head needs to understand something. Look at Jimbo's offense when he had Marcus Randal, Xavier Lee, Drew Weatherford, and now E.G., It's not all that good. It's fantastic with Winston, Jamarcus, Davey, etc.
you can say the same thing about Meyer when has tebow, smith, and barrett. Not so good with Brantley.
Dan mullens offense stunk before dak.
Atm looks great under Johnny football, not so good since.
My point. It's been a long time, since jimbo really, since we have had a guy that could recruit and evaluate qb's. Cam appears to be the best since Jimbo. His first guy is harris. Harris has improved a great deal from year one to two. The best we've had since mett then Flynn. We have a guy redshirting, we have a stud coming in franks, we have another stud lined up two years from now. For the first time in years there is a plan and stability with qb's.
If you get rid of cam this year, you screw that up. we go back to square one. You lose franks to florida. You will face him year after year and wish you had him. harris will be a jr. for the next guy. Which in turn, les is probably gone the next. therefore, your entire future rest with the redshirt. it will take two to three years to secure and develop another quality qb.
The only way you really want cam gone this year is if miles himself is gone. If you want to start over, start the entire damn thing over. Cam isn't the issue and getting rid of him, only, is the biggest screw up this program can make.
I believe cam is a good o.c., he's proved it at all levels, just two years ago we had a dynamic offense. his hands have been tied by the h.c. and talent he inherited. If you want him gone, give him another year then let him go. At least we have three quality qb's for the next guy to work with at that point.
If you want heads to roll, request the head guy, steele, bdp, ball, Steve E. But Not Cam. At this point, he is the most valuable asset we have for the future of the program next to ogeron, Raymond, and Wilson.

i wouldnt necessarily put cam above crowton

Cam isn't worth the cash we're giving him and I don't think he'll take the pay cut to return. I'm convinced he's gone after this season.
Jimbo is the best developer of pro style QBs in college football. There is no debate.

Still just as productive as most Les Miles years.

Gholson was a transfer...and the offense looks to be above average in most categories.
Out of 129 teams in Div 1, ranks on the left side.

He develops QB better than anyone else in college football. Hell he made Marcus Randall serviceable.

Meh. Harris doesn't look appreciably better than Jennings. Certainly the offense doesn't flow any better. It's the same offense we have had here from an execution, rhythm and philosophy standpoint. Sure, some differences in formations and plays, but the offense isn't allowed to breathe and that is the common theme from one OC to the next.
And people talk about Mett without mentioning his first year. Mett was Jordan Jefferson 2.0 his first year without the ability to run. It was awful. The only explanation for his second year is Miles making a conscious decision to open up the offense because he knew his defense was bad.

Okay, but no one would be railing on Les if it was one QB that didn't succeed. Its the fact that most years the position looks inept. I think Meyer's mistake was recruiting a pocket QB to play a spread option, just like Les Miles' mistake is recruiting spread QB's to play power-I and take snaps under center.

He's a Miss St......they were completely devoid of talent. Apples to oranges to compare them to LSU.

No one disputes the Johnny drop off, but even A&M tries to play ball, and doesn't play scared. LSU has much better RB's than A&M, and it should help the passing game. A&M is going through an adjustment period. Time will tell.
Most people are not using A&M as a great example to follow FWIW.

I think you're right. I think 80% of LSU fans do not truly think Cam is to blame. I don't think Cam would have ever had a job in the NFL, much less have become an NFL HC if was stubborn as Miles about offensive philosophy.
I thought Cam being Miles' good friend would be a perfect situation that would finally allow Miles to just step away from the offense. Its much of the same thing. I just can't imagine all the coaches in the athletic department for the football team are that ignorant of whats going on in the rest of the nation. LSU can almost do any offense it wants with the personnel it has.
They try to run the offense that is hardest on the OL, and unless the OL is a bunch of complete studs, then they'll have issues.
They need to run an offense that gets rid of the ball quick, so the OL doesn't have to sustain blocks as long, and they dont get as fatigued/injured during the course of the game.
If you continue to smash smash smash and ask them to maintain blocks for long, extended periods of time, then as the game goes along...of course they'll look bad and tired, especially when theyre going against a team like Alabama with as much depth as they have...

Your point would be well received if the majority thought that miles could keep it together long enough to let Cam do his thing.
The problem is, Miles has squandered piles and piles of talent that a top flight coach could do way, way more with. So keeping Cam means keeping miles. That won't happen.
Miles had ten years to:
Recruit his guys for his system
Hire coaches for his system
Develop that talent or,
Develop a gameplan for the talent he has
Make that talent execute
Motivate that talent AND coaches to succeed for him.
It all sounds cruel. Miles is a good coach and an awesome guy. But time is up.
He wasnt on the hot seat, but everyone knew that the seat was soaked in lighter fluid.

Some of you either have bad memories or are just too young to recall. If you think Cam's offense is predictable, go back and check Jimbo's. Ever fan from age 3 to 93 knew what was coming and when it was coming. It was frustrating and overly conservative when more was needed. This wasn't just during the Miles tenure, but Saban's as well.
The only constant around here is fans are always ready for the current guy to leave and next guy to be the hero. Then once they get their wish, it starts all over again.

Cam is at best an average Pro OC with a couple of horrendous years sprinkled in. The problem it seems is that unless he has a pro type quarterback his system is very ineffective. Being that a Mett type talent only comes around once every 10 years are we to just live with the other 7 or 8 years of bad offense? All one has to do is turn on college football on a given Saturday to see what good OC's are doing to help their QB's...making it easier on them to be successful.
The 30 yard route trees are make it very difficult for an inexperienced QB to be comfortable. This could be why both Harris and Jennings have looked so bad at times.
