He hasn't played because he is not ready. The coaching staff tried to play him at Auburn and he couldn't get the plays right in the Huddle and simply didn't perform well at all. The coaches see Harris at practice and know how he is progressing but the young man is a TRUE FRESHMAN and you can ruin a player by putting him in when he isn't ready and doesn't have the confidence of the other players.

Even Harris has stated that he hasn't prepared the way he needs to in order to play yet somehow some of of you seem to think there is some sort of conspiracy against Brandon Harris. Sometimes the truth is the truth whether you agree or not.

Link?

You're talking out of your arse just as much as the people who want him to play.

This is like an OT 3 begging you to frick her and you refuse because you're already fricking Roseanne Barr and the OT 3 isn't hot.

Thanks for the fresh riveting insight.

You do not know this with any amount of certainty.

Then this is on the frickin coaches. The boy has been there long enough that he should be able to run some basic packages.

However, Dumazzery is contagious, so hanging around our coaches for too long would kill brain cells.....thus explaining why he doesn't know what hes doing.

Problem is, Jennings, with all of his prep and know-how, can't get it done and isn't improving. I know it was NMSU, but whatever we did with Harris there was working, and if you have to over simplify the playbook to make it work for him, you do it, because what's going on right now is abysmal and needs to change.

And I'm sorry, a true freshman's first start doesn't need to be a road conference game at Auburn. That whole situation was handled poorly. A conspiracy theorist might say that Les intentionally put Harris in that impossible situation to convince the fans that he was making the right decision going with Jennings.
















I'm not one of them.

I want to say this was from his own twitter account. I don't follow him, but I think he admitted that he needed to work harder.

Brandon Harris is a true freshman and needs time to learn the offense. AJ has problems as well but at least understands the playbook and how to get the team lined up.

All you who just bitch to bitch apparently just think change is good just because it is a change. What part of the Auburn game convinced y'all that Brandon Harris was ready to be the starter?

I wanted him to play too, and I suppose that he wasn't set up to succeed there. But I think if you make that change, you stick with it, at least for another game or two. If there was any chance of Harris making progress after that beatdown, the knee-jerk going back to Jennings squashed that.

LSU must really have a complicated system - freshman quarterbacks are starting all the time with other colleges. I look for Harris to transfer - Jennings will play until he finishes his senior year - so why should he stay to play only one year. He can go elsewhere and leave when he's a junior for the NFL.

What Salmon said.

Why do some of you continue to make excuses for bad coaching?

Pretty sure every player says that in an interview after a loss. Jennings has said that plenty of times too...

shite, Peyton Manning says that if they win and he doesn't look immaculate on the field. Guess the Broncos shouldn't start him anymore?
