re: Is Les onto a way to beat Saban?

Then why say he doesn't have one?

He coached Drew Brees (when he was with the Chargers), Philip Rivers, and now Flacco.

Did you see the number of yards per game, in the pros, keep that in mind, his playcalling averaged those 13 games?

quote:

---

Cameron was fired with three games remaining in the 2012 season and the Ravens 9-4 and averaging 344.4 yards per game. They improved their productivity under Jim Caldwell to more than 424 yards per game in their run to the Super Bowl title

---

He wanted to pass more, Harbaugh wanted more running with Rice and he (Cameron) was stubborn about it. That's why he was let go.


If that's what he does at the professional level, I'm looking forward to seeing what he does at the collegiate level.

Sorry if I came across as a jerk but I'm not a fan of posters that get on here thinking they know everything. There are a lot of them and it's usually the new posters. I know I don't know everything.

So, I was a little skeptical with your posts. No harm intended.

Anyway, sorry about coming across like a jerk.

If the universe didn't hate LSU Les would be 4-2 against Saban and LSU would have back to back national titles.

Honestly, I believe that is only a mild exaggeration. People have been programmed to completely forget how narrowly Bama beat out Ok. State for that mulligan in '11 (and how much ESPN lobbied the Harris Poll and Coaches Poll voters to get that margin). And now the narrative it totally that Saban has just dominated when in reality his season was far less impressive than ours, and barely as impressive as Ok. State's that year. Losing at home while being held to less than a TD in an OT game? shite, if Les did that, people on here would be burning him at the stake no matter how many National Championships he won.

Should be a "under 1000 posts" board.

I think we take our coach for granted, get sucked in by his awe shucks speech and smile. I think he is smart like a fox. He certainly saw the need for an OC even without input from the rant or maybe he read the rant and figured everyone was right. Then he makes a great hire in a very experienced full time OC and given the talent we pull in every year, i got to believe nothing but good thing are in our offenseive future. Coaches that underestimate Les will do so at their peril.

You are really right about this. Two teams screwed that year - OSU and LSU. Saban must have some very big chips to call in, because OSU deserved the shot at #1 LSU on 1/9/12. Bama had already taken theirs, and lost. Close, but lost.

Look at history. Do-over games are almost always going to suck for the previous winner. Talk about luck? Saban had it for that one.

Do what we did last year without the prevent Def. that gave them the game. We should have played them strait up as we dominated the game except the last minute! Only thing that bothers me is if Les does not let Cam calls the plays.

He had him beat in 2012...we lost in the last couple of minutes on a lapse in defense.

Yeah you are right. He just walked into an 80% winning percentage blindly....

With having now hired both an OC & DC that he trusts the play calling to?
