I am not a professional when it comes to talent or DNA for winning, but the coach who said this, and by the way is not named, made me mad and should others if they believe in Harris.

If Harris is 3rd team all-SEC at QB like the article states, then LSU goes to the playoffs.

Based on the QB citing Blake Sims and Jake Coker for reference, I bet its an Alabama coach.

Yea its def a Bama coach. We live in their heads just as much as vice versa. They know LSU has a special team this year, everybody is in denial and will find out this fall!!!

LOL at that coach saying that Harris doesn't have the confidence necessary to be a good QB. I guarantee that if Harris fails this year, lack of confidence will not be the reason why.

Don't care. This anonymous coach can say what he wants.





The results will speak for themselves.



Don't waste your time getting bent out of shape because some coach said something bad about Harris. (not a shot at you because I know it's hard to not get ticked off when you see stuff like this)

Pretty brave of that "coach" to say that and not be named. Sort of reminds me of all the unnamed inside sources we have around here all of the time.

I feel pretty confident you can rule out that it was said by a bama coach. The whole point is that the quote would be kept confidential and Saban wouldn't take a jab and reference his own guys, spoiling the anonymity of it.

No, this is either sumlin or bielema. Adding sims to the quote makes it a barb, since sims didn't sniff the field till he was a senior and Coker got beat out in his junior year by a 5th year converted RB (sims). It's just sumlin or bielema taking a pot shot to get under Harris' skin. My money's on bielema being the quote's source.

Kiffin is a douchebag enough to make this comment.
Saban usually praises our players.

Those two weren't exactly stable as sophmores. When they weren't doing shite or seeing the field at all.

That article is crap and meant to hurt Harris. Like someone else said, if he even makes third team all-SEC then we win the conference. Sportswriters suck nowadays.

Coach speaks from proper observation and reports directly from LSU players that Brandon just dosen't have the mentality for a quarter back!!! I have had this opinion for last couple of years. Dosen't mean Brandon Harris isn't a geat kid, because from eveything you hear he is. Just not a quarterback. Sorry

Lane Kiffin? Sure sounds like him. And no Saban wouldn't say this crap.. But Lane is possible.

Same Kiffin who said Alshon Jeffrey would be pumping gas for a living

I like this season-preview format with anonymous quotes from real coaches; it's been around a while. But it seems like if they are on the fence about a topic, they feel obligated to speak negatively because otherwise what's the point.

There's a difference between Brandon Harris Blake Sims and Coker. Two of them were fifth year seniors

What bothers me most about this is that the writer thought it necessary to include an "anonymous" source.

As a former reporter, a key rule of responsible reporting is that if you have an anonymous source, you don't have a source at all.

Why be angry at this? Hell...let me be the first to say, "Thank you, Anonymous Coach!" Now, this will be printed and taped to Harris locker, his wall in his apartment, his bathroom mirror, etc. If you're a competitor and that doesn't provide daily motivation, then something is wrong with you...

quote:

"Will Brandon Harris come through? That's a hard call. He's a guy that has tremendous talent, but he's got to put it all together. Why hasn't he? I don't know. I don't know the dynamics. But I don't think Brandon Harris is stable enough to become a Blake Sims or a Jake Coker. He doesn't have that DNA. He's not confident enough."
