Yes, I've seen a lot of threads deleted. Threads that point out a lot of truth. Is there another venue for ranting without this censorship?

r/lsufootball maybe??

That's why Leslie needs to GTFO

Really? You don't think the LSU football team should have a head coach?

I suggest that if anyone who thinks Miles should just "GTFO" doesn't have an ironclad replacement for Miles, they should just STFU.

I lived through the Archer/Hallman/Dinardo years, and I don't want idiots ruining LSU football for a whole decade again.

I look at Tennessee, Florida, Michigan and other big time programs struggling for consistency, and I'm just afraid the idiot LSU fans will throw us down that hole again.

Yeah, fire the coach - BUT THEN WHAT? If you can't answer that question, then sit down and shut up.

Good Lord people. Harris is not the answer to what is hurting this football team right now.

you can say Jennings isnt' the main problem, the play calling is, but did you ever consider the play calling is a reflection of what the QB is capable of?

Put Harris in, trust he can complete a pass, and use your athletes. Can neither of these guys throw a bubble screen? Jennings sure as hell can't throw a RB screen, nor can we properly block for one.
Our offense is so predictable that the defense becomes predictable, yet if it's 3rd and 5, we are running a quick slant and the CB knows it. We can't even use our own predictability to our advantage.

We have 3 completions over 25 yards dating back to the Florida game, 5 games.
Jennings has as many turnovers as touchdowns in that time span, has 0 rushing td's on the year, has a 45% completion percentage.
Best stat of the night:
We have a 82% rate of scoring in the redzone, with 24 TDs and 8 FG's, 7 no points. Harris has 13 redzone td's while he was in what, maybe 3 full games of playing time.

roughly 70% of the time we enter the redzone with Jennings, we come away with 3 points or less. And as of lately, we only entered the redzone 9 times in the last 3 games, 2 tds, 3 FGs, 4 missed FGs, not including the 0 yards in OT against Bama b/c we couldn't muster 5 yards to get into the redzone.

At least we scored 7 against Auburn who was a national title contender... the 17 arkansas scored might as well have been 42.

Why does LSU have so many QBs that transfer?

Both Rivers/Rettig were told the O was going in a different direction than we saw in '13.

Miles explained the limited amount of plays that LF had for him in this game plan were not working. So he sat him.

Strange not using that same rational at the QB position.

quote:

Jennings led us to three straight SEC victories and within a minute of beating Alabama.

---

Against 1 team with a winning record. Kentucky and UF are bad to mediocre teams and the LSU defense won the Ole Miss game. People act like LSU did something special by beating middle of the pack East teams.

Jennings had little to do with LSU winning any of those games and was lucky UF had two huge brain farts to bail LSU out with the blown coverage on 4th down and the dropped TD in the endzone.

quote:

---

Just saying that Jennings almost led us back to sec title hunt (and possible playoff hunt) with the near win against Bama.

---

It might be a little generous to say that Jennings led us to those victories. He happened to be the QB at the time but if anyone led us, it was the defense. And if we had beaten Bama that would have been because the defense forced a turnover late in the game and then shut them down after that. The offense couldn't even score a TD when they got the ball on the 6 yard line.

quote:

I don't believe Harris would have done better on Saturday with the game plan our coaches drew up...and missing two starters on o-line could have been disastrous for a QB whose last outing was a disaster.

Probably a valid point. I think Les is still carrying the scar tissue from 2008 and has vowed to never let that happen again. Maybe he thinks he threw JLee into the fire too soon and it ruined him and now he's afraid of doing the same thing with Harris. I don't know. But at some point you have to give the guy a chance even if it's under adverse circumstance. I think what a lot of fans are frustrated about is that there was no Plan B. There never is a Plan B. Either Plan A works or we lose.
