Newly Elected NFL Hall Of Famer Jason Taylor Trashes Former LSU OC Cam Cameron

by Staff Reporter

February 8, 201756 Comments

Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports

Former NFL defensive star Jason Taylor had some harsh comments for his former head coach Cam Cameron who served as LSU's offensive coordinator from 2013-2016. Per The Miami Herald:

quote:
“Cam was an idiot,” Taylor says. “I have no idea how he got the job. I’ve never been around a more incompetent head coach than Cam Cameron. I’m talking youth football, college. It was unbelievable.

“Everything we did, he had to have a problem with. That was his way of being the biggest voice in the room. If I talked or Zach talked in a team meeting or after practice, he would always need to have the last word.

“It was the weirdest thing. We’d all look at each other because he would repeat something one of the players already said. That dude lost me first day of training camp. Even at minicamp, I’m wondering what are we doing?”

Taylor was recently elected to the NFL Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

Cameron was fired as LSU's offensive coordinator along with head coach Les Miles four games into the 2016 season.

Miles was totally overrated. Thank you Saban for making us relavent again.

rbdallas•92 months

He is gone... I believe a brighter future is there for the Tigers

grove3•92 months

Yet the problem is still at LSU. The guy that kept him there the AD Joe Alleva he needs to go.

Nix to Twillie•92 months

Pretty sure Miles kept him there. If Alleva did, then why was he gone the day O took over?

choke•92 months

He looked like that type of guy.

winkchance•92 months

And yet Miles hired and hung onto him, says something.

BobABooey•92 months

Maybe Cam was the best the Dolphins could do when the previous carpet bagging coach bailed on the Dolphins.

LC412000•92 months

What a class act. He gets into the HOF and one of the first things he does is dump on a former coach.

tubucoco•92 months

Really?? He's giving people insight on an awful coach and you have to find fault with it. What an arse you are!

Laman1978•92 months

Ensminger ran Les and Cam's offense better than they did. That spoke volumes to me.

toothfxr92•92 months

Leslie boy....that's all that needs to be said

CalTiger53•92 months

Both Miles and Cam wasted a lot of opportunities at LSU. Miles should have been fired after 2012.

BayouTiga•92 months

CalTiger53: Nuff said!

TWT•92 months

Miles should have been terminated after the stunt he pulled in the 2011 Nat Champ Game.

Unnecessary and classless even if true.

tubucoco•92 months

Another stupid comment by another stupid person! Do you know why Jason Taylor was commenting about Cam Cameron?? NO! Just mouthing off like idiot's do, I'm sure Jason Taylor was asked about his thoughts on Cam Cameron by a sports reporter, maybe from the Louisiana area, and he kindly obliged and gave his thoughts. What's classless is idiotic comments by clueless people!

Spankum•92 months

sounds like some pretty unnecessarily harsh words for someone who he dealt with so long ago...I would like to know the context.

7istheTruth•92 months

I'm a big Ravens fan and I watched cam call plays for years. Always thought he was an idiot. The year we fire him, we go on to win the super bowl later that season. IMO That's no coincidence

Lexman1•92 months

Not later that season. The week of the playoffs. That says it all!

1BIGTigerFan•92 months

Seems odd that he'd lash put now about something that happened so long ago...Cam must have really sucked. Can't even wrap my head around why Les would hire him...guess that says even more.

Mulerider•92 months

They were buddies. Crony coachalism. Two peas in a pod.

Lexman1•92 months

Cam was Miles best man at his wedding. Thus the hire.

UncleTom40•92 months

Caused les pitiful arse didn't give a damn what lsu fans thought. He was truly over his head. Yet most lsu fans attempted to make him "elite". The man makes me sick. To thumb his nose at the fan base was astonishing.

TigerSpray•92 months

This guy shouldn't be in the hall.

eugene1928LSU•92 months

Agree, no way a HOF. Especially 1st ballot

tubucoco•92 months

Jason Taylor is def a HOF player! Don't know what you two clowns are smoking?? But this guy was one of the best playing DE in Miami for years. Perennial All Pro!

UncleTom40•92 months

Ppl still hypnotized by les miles ineptitude. You ppl deserve a losing program. Ya bash satan,and not once has he done anything to harm LSU. The person yall should be mad at (miles). You idiots adore. Comical.

FLObserver•92 months

Safe to say that he wont be a coach anywhere else unless its a community college or something to that effect

tubucoco•92 months

Safe to say you're an idiot that doesn't know anything.

He gets fired mid season in the NFL, that team turns the corner and wins the super bowl. He gets canned mid season at LSU and with the same players, LSU goes on to break offensive records. We looked 100x better. He had ZM, OB, JL, and Hill and still couldn't get it together. Grading him as a COACH, I'm not sure how anyone could give him anything other than an "F-" Quite possibly the worst coach in LSU history.

In 2013, his offense had a 3,000 yd passer, a 1,000 yd rusher, and two 1,000 yd receivers. Perhaps they put up those numbers on talent alone, but the Tigers struggled that year because of the defense.

CaliTigerHB•92 months

The 2013 team was not a contender because of the defense. The offense set an SEC record

LSUbest•92 months

Don't remember the wizard huh?

LSU former players never had bad words for coach Cam. Taylor had problems with coach Saban as well.

pellietigersaint•92 months

taylor is a pretty boy vag

Mulerider•92 months

That's because Saban is a garbage NFL coach.

bamalee•92 months

complete and utter B.S. Jason Taylor loved Nick Saban, credited him with having a longer career I don't know where you folks come up with this stuff....

ShlikStyck•92 months

he had an issue with Saban as well. I don't think many would believe Saban was an idiot

Jamohn•92 months

Not true. LINK

Lexman1•92 months

The last word huh? That sounds familiar. Jason Taylor has always struck me as a low keyed, hard working professional. Not to mention a first ballot Hall Of Famer. So I tend to believe his comments regarding football related matters. Plus, Cam was fired by the Ravens the week before the playoffs and they won the Super Bowl! Nuff said! Nice hire, Les!
