re: Jacques Doucet interview with Brandon Harris

Les had many faults here with QB development and an offense that didn't modernize with the rest of the game. That said, he doesn't deserve to be ran down by our fanbase.
The end, particularly Jan 9 2012, has tainted everyone's thoughts on him and it's understandable. He underachieved here but he also won a title, that he probably shouldn't have, and led the best team we've seen at LSU short of 2019 in 2011. He provided many memorable moments and compiled an outstanding record here. He was the only coach to field a team that could consistently match physicality and talent with Sabans Bama dynasty.
He is a good man that could recruit families with the best of them and a man that many would love to have around their program. His time ran its course, as it does for many coaches(Andy Reid Philadelphia for example) but the way it ended shouldn't completely tarnish all the great things he did for our program.
We could've crumbled after Saban yet instead the recruiting and national prestige got even stronger, at the very least comparable. Hopefully time will heal the wounds of our emotionally fragile fanbase so that he one day gets the respect he deserves from us.

Brandon Harris can blame his faults on himself. It's his right to speak his mind and I'm sure he feels he was hamstringed by the offense but what about UNC? If it was all Les then why wasn't he successful there? Sounds like a guy with sour grapes and a job at a competing university for recruits.
