re: Who do think Coach Cameron would REALLY rather have?

Heard Shea Dixon this morning on the radio. He was VERY high in praise on Patterson...justifiably so. He was also high on Franks.

Here were take-aways for me and some things I did not know:
(1) The Patterson family moved to Shreveport to further Shea's football career and to play with and against better competition (I didn't know that);
(2) His brother has leveraged Shea's prowess into getting a job under Rich Rod at Arizona, Cam at LSU and now Freeze at Ole Miss (I did know that);
(3) LSUs staff pretty much knew that when they got the commitment from Franks that they would not get Patterson (I knew that too);
(4) Patterson is almost a perfect fit for the Freeze Offense (in the gun, high percentage short passes, the ability to escape the pocket, etc...he will be very good in that offense and will have a lot of success - especially with the receiver talent they are amassing);
(5) Franks runs an offense that is very similar to LSU - under center, I-formation, etc. He is a much better fit relative to what LSU does than Patterson - Franks should be comfortable from day one;
(6) Shea insinuated that if Cam and Miles don't get it right with Franks, i.e., he doesn't pan out, that it will end the Miles era.
