The clock is ticking for LSU coach Les Miles

Les Miles is on the clock.
The most critical period of his LSU football coaching career that began in 2005 started the very moment he walked off the field following Tuesday's 31-28 Music City Bowl loss to Nashville.
His program has lost its giddyup the last two seasons, going 18-8 overall and 9-7 in the SEC, including a pedestrian 8-5 (4-4 in the SEC) this past year.

The Tigers can't even consider being a national title contender again, much less even getting to Atlanta for the SEC championship game, if they don't do a substantially better job of recruiting and developing quarterbacks.
It was painful this season watching LSU's offense play with one hand tied behind its back, because it didn't have a quarterback capable of consistently throwing the ball downfield.
One of Miles' flaws is his reluctance to get his backup quarterback snaps in preparing for a future starting role.

Harris blew hot accounting for five TDs off the bench vs. New Mexico State and then cold when he imploded in his only start at Auburn, he was placed in quarantine the rest of the season.
Harris could have played nearly the entire second half against Kentucky after the Tigers took a 34-3 lead with 10:37 left in the third quarter, yet he didn't make an appearance until there was about 10 minutes left in the game,
After Arkansas led 17-0 over LSU with 11:03 left, the Tigers had nothing to lose at that point. Harris could have played then, but he didn't.

Regurgitated garbage. Why do these authors continue to think this is a novel idea? People have been asking for Harris to start right after the spring game.

And Miles lost me as a fan right there.
Because of that LSU will head into next year with the same question marks as last year

This isn't entirely true. Flynn, rp, Lee, Jennings, and now even Harris saw pt as backups. JJ didn't and Lee didn't before he took over in 08, but he played a bunch before starting in 11. Mett didnt, but that's because we had 2 sr qbs.

It was a cheap and accurate shot. Yet by the same token in Chavis' six years in charge of the Tigers' defense, his 'D' allowed 10 fourth-quarter game-winning TD drives including that farewell choke job against Notre Dame.

Good article. He has another 8-9 win season next year where our offense looks anemic he will be under a ton of heat.

No it's not.

I know this is likely a minority opinion but I really think Miles (and perhaps Cameron) were trying to avoid ruining the psyches of 2 quarterbacks again (ala 2008). I'm sure he would have liked not to ruin either's but I think Jennings may not be salvageable. I think when he saw Harris struggle when thrown in against Auburn he might have figured he wasn't ready and continuing to put him up against the meat of an SEC schedule may have done long term harm.

Since 08 the passing offense has been pitiful every year other than 13. If Les can't get a grip on that, it'll cost him his job.
