re: Les Miles hates ESPN (And apparently Brandon Harris and winning)

You mean the game where Brandon Harris led us on a scoring drive when Jennings didn't.
Do you remember Miss St, NMS, OM, Bama, and Arkansas? Because Jennings was downright garbage in those games.

Threw 5 passes or more in 4 games. In those games he's completed 63% passes for 6 TDs and 1int. Also rushed for over 7 ypc and 3 TDs. Yes we remember the auburn game you fricking dolt. We also remember him showing great promise in others. Something your poppa miles boy hasnt in a single start this season.

I'm pretty convinced Les has a problem putting the right shoe on his right foot in the morning.

In all fairness, we've already seen what can happen when Harris is the starter as well. What leads you to believe this time it will be different? What have you seen in practice (that the coaches haven't) that would say Harris gives us the best chance to win at this time?
Not a damn thing, that's what. You can do one of two things...you can sit back, watch and know that the coaches are starting the guy that gives them the best chance to win (because that's ultimately what it's all about...lose games...lose jobs in coaching)
OR
You can bitch, piss and moan like a whiny-arse baby over decisions that you have absolutely no control over, nor will you ever.
I would LOVE to see Harris start. I know physically, he's more talented than AJ. I like AJ as well and support him. But I think Harris has him in arm strength and dynamic play making ability. But something is (or isn't) happening behind closed doors to keep Harris off the field. Something he's doing (or not doing) in the coaches eyes. I wish he would get his shite together, get in the film room and do his homework and TAKE the starting job. I believe the only reason Harris isn't on the field, is because he doesn't want it yet. He may think he does, but his actions may say different.

It's indefensible. Mind boggling. And if we were playing for the title? Is having a QB who cannot make the simplest of throws playing it safe? I feel bad for Jennings.

Because the guy playing in front of him is playing worse than any QB to put on an LSU uniform in over 20 years. How do you explain not trying the more talented guy once in what will be 57 days by the A&M game? Will he throw for negative points and yards? Will he lock in on less than 1 receiver? What possibly could he do worse?

If the problem is on Harris' end, then that's why you don't get down to 2 f'n scholarship quarterbacks.

The problem is on miles side

I've decided that he isn't playing Harris because it would send the wrong message to the team. Harris must have attitude issues. He's clearly more talented and there is little to lose at this point. So that's the only answer that makes sense. Les wouldn't tell the public his reasoning.
If starting Harris would encourage attitude issues from other young players, the I support keeping Jennings for now.

Logical explination, but Miles is nothing resembling logical. Where was this no sending the wrong message coach when it was JJ or Hill?
Posted on 11/19/14 at 10:29 pm to tadelatt
I am convinced that Miles is the ONLY coach in the nation that would not make this quarterback change.

I think the man is as goofy as he sounds sometimes. He is just plain hardheaded

Deja vu. This same scenario played out with Beckwith and Welter. Beckwith was clearly the more talented player but he didn't know how to get the defense lined up. They finally broke down and gave him a chance and we see that talent won out along with experience helping him learn on the fly to get the defense lined up and in position.
You simply can't grow without playing. Jennings is playing but doesn't seem to be growing. His trajectory should be like that of Brad Kaaya (true freshman) at Miami, but it is anything but at this point. I'm personally getting concerned that expectations may be way out of line from reality and this wait could cost this team another year of futility. He says he's more concerned about the development of 10 other positions rather than one. What about the futility of 10 other positions because of one. He's swapped around line, receivers, and running backs. The only position he hasn't swapped around has been QB.

He's clueless. Or stubborn to a fault. Either way it adds up to being a bad coach when it comes to QBs.

Fixed it for you because this is how bad it has gotten. The idea that the only choice this team has is to play from ahead because they don't have the ability to come back with a 4.0 yds per completion QB. I hope he gets better, but it doesn't appear anything is changing with his play.

If Harris doesn't get meaningful playing time the rest of this year you better hope les can find a desperate juco qb because Harris will and should transfer to get away from this train wreck

Yep, mentioned this before the season started. There's a pretty serious QB problem at LSU and it's systematic.
