You can't convince me for what we need Harris to do at QB, that the coaches don't marginalize him so much to where he is so ineffective. Watching all these freshman QB's succeed to this magnitude tells me all I need to know. A travesty that we will blow 18 returning starters based on ineptitude of the coaching staff. Period


He threw 6 or 7 passes high on Saturday. Plus the last pick he threw he didn't even look before he threw the pick that cost us the game. So some of the blame is on him too.

Oh I totally agree. He has some of the blame to shoulder. No doubt. But watching these freshman from one half to the next in their very first games, these coaches make adjustments to benefit the QB. Yes Harris needs to be better. I'd bet you if Harris had proper coaching from day one, his overall game would be so much better. He's out there thinking and pressing far too much because of the situations they constantly put him in. He doesn't need to be a superstar. Just a "game manager" like they say. And they don't even allow him to do that. Sad all around.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: that's largely on Cam Cameron. It's shitty coaching. If you watch old videos of CC coaching Franks when he was on campus, Harris, and others, you'll hear him obsessively yelling "THROW IT HARD! THROW IT HARD! HARDER!!! THROW IT IN THERE! HARD AS YOU CAN!! THERE YOU GO!"

That isn't how you coach up a college QB. He has this weird fricking obsession with wanting QB's to throw the ball literally as hard as they can on 6 yard routes. He won't accept anything less than Harris throwing the ball as hard as he possibly can on almost all routes. And people wonder why Harris is overthrowing consistently? This isn't the NFL, Harris can be successful without throwing the ball 200 MPH every time.

Cameron is an incompetent buffoon who hasn't done absolutely anything to translate his coaching style from talented professionals who have 5 years to get ready to young kids who need to be serviceable within a year. His coaching mindset is shite and anyone who's ever played a "skill" sport or position under a crappy coach can see this
