re: Brandon Harris in his own words

Sounds to me like an admission that what I said might be possible. Stop spinning so hard. You're getting dizzy.

I'm saying that I know he is not totally honest because he's a football coach. He isn't totally honest like every other coach.

I'm not sure why you think he should be different though.

That interview didn't sit well with Miles b/c Harris is saying he is prepared to play, is being told he'll play, and yet has to sit and watch an inferior QB ahead of him. Like I said, even if approved to do the interview, he should have declined.

---

This is why I think he's not playing at all. Miles is harshly teaching him a lesson.

I'll say it like this, Harris was in the wrong to put stuff out there like that. Also he should have known, don't care what anybody thinks, he should have known that going behind Miles back to do the interview even getting permission from LSU, was a HUGE no no. Not only that, Harris was either intentionally saying things like that, or just had a poor choice of words. If you read it between the lines, it is basically calling the coaches out without necessarily saying those exact words. I'll say it again, I don't know if that was intentional or not (he's a very smart kid), but even doing it against the coach's wishes, was a dumb move on his part.

Hopefully he'll learn from this. You aren't in the pros so you can't go against the HC and expect to play. He needs to suck it up and wait it out. If he has proven that he deserves to start over Jennings next year and doesn't, I would not blame him one bit for transferring. However, what it boils down to, is Miles sacrificing every chance to win (playing Harris) to prove a point. Prove that he runs the establishment. Prove that he makes the final call, and to not go behind his back.

With all that said, I really want Harris to start from here on out.

I don't see harris playing any the rest of this year

'm definitely not agreeing to anyone stating that Miles directed the guy to kick like that and then covered it up.

---

So you believe the kicker just all of a sudden duck hooked one that never got 10 ft off the ground? You really think he was kicking that ball normally?

I have no clue who told the kicker what to do, but "kick it deep" was not his instructions, period.

You really are clueless to sports if you think that!

I give up

Join the rest of us it just took good ole les longer than the rest of us to feel the ignorance and pain of he is coaching. How in hell has he held this job this fricking long ?

Not sure how any father in the state could encourage their QB/TE son to play for Miles. Unless they really don't like their kid

---

It would seem that those close to Harris have warned him of Miles propensity to be stubborn to a fault with the QBs, and I think he's getting nervous. If he doesn't start next year and get a good shot at proving himself, he's gone.

No way you have a college degree.

I appreciate your comments, however, truth be told, they don't come more humble than young Harris. Am familiar with people who know his family and they all say, this kid will stick with LSU no matter what, because he truly believes it's God's plan for him to be there. He is stoically biding his time, knowing that it will work out for him in the end.

Good to hear, and I hope it works out sooner rather than later.

Teaching him a lesson? I don't get this logic at all. If that was the case then he would have been publicly benched and not available to come in when Jennings got banged up. There would have been a "violation of team rules" disciplinary action. You don't punish someone and not tell them what they are being punished for or for how long if you are teaching them a lesson. If Jennings would have been injured, I guarantee you Harris would have came in and finished the game. I think the more rational logic would be that Les isn't comfortable with Harris being under center and getting the guys lined up correctly.

Harris was asked if he knows most of the playbook as critics maintain he does not.

"Everything that we have in for me to know, I know," he said. "I fully understand everything that's been in the playbook since I've been here."

This speaks volumes about our coaching staff.
