re: Brandon Harris on 2015 season: teams were calling their plays before the snap

I was a big supporter of Les down the line, but this particular criticism was more than fair.

The offense would have been outdated even in the late 1980s (outside of the Big-12, anyway). It was a vicious cycle - we couldn't get/develop QBs so the offense had to be simple and run oriented. We out-talented most of our schedule, particularly on defense, so it worked - mostly. Once Saban got settled into Bama, that game became the Superbowl every year. They weren't "more" talented than we were in most of those games, but certainly "as" talented and knew what we were going to do.

Sad that Les' stubbornness cost us at least 1 championship, probably 2. Only thing karmic is that it also cost him millions of dollars and truly legendary status at LSU. But, a great coach, overall, a great dude and a great character to have in the pantheon of LSU HFCs.
