re: Is Cam Cameron a done deal?

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.

Just got off the phone with my uncle who is an assistant strength and conditioning coach with Moffit. He said that Cameron has been in BR and at the facilities getting situated. Got to sit down with the QBs and for a meet and greet. Word is that all the players were in the Lawton Room when Cameron came in and opened the door got on the floor and proceeded to walk the dinosaur.

spit out the rest of the kool aid while there's still a chance for you. FIRED at the very end of the nfl season, during the playoff run, and probably champs because of it. did you not waatch the superbowl, and the playoffs leading up to it ? just about right. one of , if not the only one who knows as much as Less.

I'll add that he has a long and proven history with developing pro QBs. You can't look at the QB's he's directly coordinated (Rivers, Brees, Flacco quickly come to mind) and say that they've achieved *in spite of* CC.
Well, a Rantard COULD say that, but it'd be a stretch to do so.
Also, LSU is capable of recruiting the type of talent necessary to run a “true” pro style offense. We’ve tried for years to use coordinators who have mostly collegiate experience to manage this offense, makes sense (and is perhaps long past due) to turn the reins over a man who’s lived and breathed coordinating in the pros for a decade.
