He has zero coaching experience and he is the same age as the other qbs

What is stopping them from learning what he has learned


If you can't figure that out, you are as slow as you are trying to allude our two "dual threat" QB's are.

would have loved to see Luke Boyd in with him...

although, if he got hurt, the Line of Duty investigation could get interesting!!!

Harris didn't play football until the 9th grade. Krags probably popped out his mom with football in hand.

Son of a coach. He's been getting exposure to X's and O's on another level than most players. It doesn't surprise me one bit.

I believe it's already been said that he is preparing to go into coaching. For those wondering what he had to contribute, that's an entirely different focus than learning the offense from a player's perspective.

It's a good thing that our young QBs have an older mentor to work with them on the sideline in-between possessions. Anyone remember the Crowton years, when those 2 young QBs were isolated on the sideline and were lucky to get a ring from the booth?

And he's been vital in Harris growth as a player and getting into the playbook. Harris listens to everything Brad says and soaks it up like a sponge. When he comes off the field after a drive, he goes straight to Brad on the bench and asks him questions, what he saw, checks, etc and Brad is the 1 looking at the playbook with him because Cameron is in the box. Pretty much Harris QB coach on the sideline.

Trey Mongrue @TreyMongrue · 5m One thing I took away from talking to Brandon Harris was the importance of Brad Kragthorpe "He's a teacher on our campus.". #LSU

Trey Mongrue @TreyMongrue · 3m More Harris on Kragthorpe, "Brad has been the biggest influence on me since I've gotten here." #LSU


Gotta love how Harris soaks everything up from Brad and how Brad has more than taken Harris under his wing... Brad is a very important and valuable to this team, and probably won't play another snap. Gotta love that. To Brad

FWIW I've watched Jennings and Kragthorpe play catch from 5 yards away, and Jennings throws a WAY prettier ball. Just doesn't seem to click for him though.

What really got my attention is the announcers saying 16 is helping teach 6 and 10 about the offense and scheme....


I'm pretty positive than this guy could dissect schemes better than 99% of the rant (minus the coaches on here). He has probably seen Cam's playbook, or at least went through it or seen it in practice as soon as Cam got here. You know, a coach's son privileges and all.

I mean his dad is a former OC and QB coach so unless he just didn't care for it, he should know it. This guy probably breathes football like his dad. I'm pretty sure he will try to become a coach. Maybe a future QB coach for LSU.
