Les Miles: "If Brandon Harris Stays Within The Scheme, He Will Be Fine"

I'm late to the party, I just want an upvote.

Scheme? You mean the one Cameron said "was on fire" before the game? Let's see that Scheme has produced diminishing returns since 2011, same predictable plays that everyone can see coming - other teams, commentators, viewers. Since you hired your shadow Cameron you have gone on an unprecedented slide: set new lows for Pass ATTs in 14-15, ranking last in the SEC and 120th in the FBS, with the slowest, least spread, 1-dimensional 'O' 3 yrs running, a 9-9 SEC-W, 14-10 SEC record. The Ravens fired Cam for his 5-yr failure to develop an offensive identity, develop Flacco or protect him, no tempo, spread, or Passing game. His 3-WR utilization (28%) was the lowest in the NFL, long isolation routes into double teams. Nice start, losing the first OOC game since 2002 with your 'most experienced roster". Picks up right where you left off last year, adding to your 3 consecutive SEC West game losses in double-digit blowouts not seen since 1966. Dinardo did it 1999, 2 yrs after he let his "Chavis" DC go and he was fired. How can you defend your Stone Age Scheme and blame player execution not your Coaching? You seem to be going deeper into the fog of old age with clueless press conferences and analysis. What do you care, you have a 15 million buyout, unless you are proven unfit to coach. You are nice, goofy, quirky, but who wouldn't be on 4.5 million a year. I remember Harris scoring on 15 of 19 drives as a FR,the highest rated QB/Passer in the nation from the shotgun, 2x the Pts/min of Mariotta. In 2015 Harris was the highest rated Passer in the SEC over 7 games and the the run-blocking O-line let him get sacked 10 times in 2 games, hit 15 times, hurried on 50% of his dropbacks, and put in 3rd and +10 on 13 of 25 downs vs ALA/ARK. He went from 68% in SEC games to 43% after being injured by Cyrus Jones on a 40 yd TD to Dural. Miles has the second ranked roster in the SEC and 7th in FBS and has not has not finished top 10 in past 3 yrs, going unranked in 2014. Herman had the 73rd ranked roster and finished 8th.

Have some dignity and self-respect and resign. Everybody who defended you last year after the A&M game now regrets it.

This is awful. How about open up the scheme and adapt to your personnel.. let him get comfortable.. otherwise, more of the same..

Too bad his scheme sucks!

sigh...................

It's never his scheme or influence. How can he ignore that the LSU offense has been pathetic more times than not?

Les still passing the blame. Man up, Les! He goes through QBs like Taylor Swift goes through men....At some point, you've got to say "Maybe its me"?

It is not just Harris- it is the scheme that sucks. Miles believes in what I call "hard head football". I (Miles)_want to run even if I can't and then blame poor QB play or poor line play. Both the QB and OL played terrible but he continued trying to run in spite of the inability to do so. "hard head football".

When Brandon feels the pressure he panics. Same thing he has done since his first year. If he was walking while chewing gum at the same time he would fall flat on his face.

The problem with the passing game is the same problem with the running game. The O-line is watching rushers go by, pulling out of the hole and away from the play, avoiding contact with opponents, and getting beat by people 60-70 lbs lighter than them! Check the game film!

You're getting an up vote and you're getting an up vote and you're getting an up vote .....

Miles game plan is to edge his opponent in the last 5 minutes of the game. I don't care how many games he wins that kind football is unwatchable.

He is not fine because of your scheme.

I can't believe that he is going to ride this guy right out of town. He is so stubborn!

Miles is doing this to himself

If Les Miles stays within the scheme, he will be fired.

Les' "scheme" is our damn problem. Good God he needs to go because he'll never get it

All we need is 5 more passes
