re: Is Cam Cameron a done deal?

Who the frick said he was a god?

I suppose compared to Stud he is though.

I must not be drinking the Koolaid you guys are who think Cam Cameron will be the answer to all of our offensive problems. The guy has been on a downward spiral since he left San Diego. Is he good? Yes, but is he the god you claim him to be? No

First you made an argument against him drafting Ted Ginn, now people are making him out to be a demi-god. What would you do? Lets ride Stud out for another year and see how that works out.

There are several reasons Cam is a home run hire.

For starters, you can look at his history as a play caller in the NFL. It speaks for itself. That is against NFL Defensive Coordinators every single week, and his offenses were in the top half of the league almost every season. You don't have that kind of success without having a feeling for the flow of a game. To me that is what is sorely lacking right now, other than execution.

Secondly,all of that NFL experience running an offensive scheme, similar to what LSU wants to use, means he knows how to use it effectively. You would see a larger variety of plays run out of the same set. Instead of having what set we are in telegraph the play to the D. You would also most likely see more effective use of misdirection plays (counters, screens, dump passes, etc) and hopefully a larger role for the TE.

Not to mention that he is one of very very few people out there who Miles would see as an equal. They are very close and have coached together. This means leaving the play calling solely in his hands.

Pretty much every single thing everyone has been complaining about. So how is this hire not great?

You can say he is on a downward spiral all you want... that is in the NFL, and even at that level he has a proven track record. He is not just a flash in the pan.

And I don't think there is anyone trying to say he is suddenly going to make LSU the #1 offensive team in the country, but who would? Not to mention the fact we don't need to be the #1 offense in the country.
