I can think of two reasons Feaster would tell BH that:
1. He believes BH has no chance of ever becoming the LSU starting QB.
2. Revenge for this season.
Feaster knows a thing or two about leaving. Just in the past 14 years he has left the head coaching position at Many, Sabine ISD, Minden and Many.

I didn't realize your comments/advice to Harris were so public now. Just saw it on the front page of 247.
Thanks for the bad PR.

I agree with you that Harris will start next year but guess what we had a prime opportunity to get this kid some big time game reps.... But we gave the reps to Jennings and that pisses me off as it should every fan because year after year our QB play is putrid excluding Zach M 1 good season... And our coaching staff seems to be so stubborn that they will stick with bad QB play and not even give a guy a shot is unbelievable.... I went to the Kentucky game last year and we where blowin them out and I thought to my self we may be able to get a whole 4th quarter to get b Harris some reps.... But guess the f*** what we stuck with Jennings till 3 minutes left in the game then put Harris in to run out the clock... Please someone explain why the QB of the future can't even be trusted with a 30+ lead
Harris came in and threw a pick on his first play of the fricking game. Thats why he didnt play. You guys need to stop blaming the coaches for a kids shittastic play.

Don't forget either that Feaster has never had much fondness for LSU, period. I'm not close enough to the situation to know for sure but I would actually be quite surprised if he hadn't tried to steer Harris away from LSU as soon as his senior year was done, especially with the "adventures" we've been having at QB the last few years. ETA: And would I blame him, if he had? Not one bit. He looks after his kids.
And you think Harris would have played a down at tOSU or Auburn this year or even next year?
the answer is NO.

Wonderful message to send out to our youth; give up at the first sign of adversity.

If Fournette fumbles in comes Magee If Quinn drops a ball in comes Diarse... If Jennings throws pick then fumbles then gets sacked in comes Jennings again if our offense goes 3 and out every possession I blame it on the QB but here comes Jennings
Great point. While I certainly DO NOT want Harris to transfer, one just cannot adequately explain how BH was treated IRT playing time this past season. Super comeback vs MSU that fell short, what might have been given 30-45 more secs. GREAT performance vs NMST. HORRIBLE performance vs AUB (on the road). To the bench. Comes in vs Bama late in the game, when Jennings goes out due to injury, and gains 5-7 yds on a read/option around the right side. WOW, but here comes Jennings back into the game. Indefensible on how PT was allotted for the development of this young QB. Why he did not get a series vs ARK and/or ND is again indefensible. No logic behind it. I can only hope CCAM learned something, b/c this cannot happen again...with BH or any other young qb. BH should get his chance this spring, for the sake of the 2015 season and program, I hope he is successful. GT!!!

Sounds like the coach knows Harris is already contacting Jucos, and trying to position himself as some great advisor.
Harris' family probably knows whats being said about him isnt true, and one thing parents cannot stand is for their child to be unfairly treated. Also, the longer AJ starts, the more people start to question Brandons skill set. They feel like its time for him to set the record straight

League City,
Sounds like you are very close to the situation. Maybe too close to have objectivity.
I do not view Feaster's comments as "taking up for his kid". I view it as immature advice to chunk his commitment and take counterproductive steps. Coddling and support are different altogether.
If, as you acknowledge, Brandon has challenges to overcome personally, seems to me he should focus on those and not seek to blame others.
It's entirely possible Harris may face other challenges in his future, perhaps even unfairness. There may be lessons here that are beyond the limited understanding of Coach Feaster.

Best way for Harris to shut people up is to bust his arse like a superstar and take the job. No one is going to give shite to him.
This is a life lesson being taught here. Greatness is expected from players with great talent. I think AJ is trying his hardest. He's just limited by his talent. Harris is not limited in the same way.
It's not good enough for Harris to be a little better than AJ. He should be playing to the best of his ability.

You can question whether he should have gone public you can't question him standing up for his kid.
He wasn't standing up for "his kid" He isn't his kid any more. He was grandstanding. And it blew up in his face for being a loud mouth. Which might explain to some degree why he is a high school coach. Counseling to run and hide in he face of adversity doesn't sound like good advice to me. Perhaps that is Feaster's (sp?) personal MO?

Dude parkway gave up 77 points in the state championship. He needs to worry about his own team.

Miles has proven with Jefferson and now Jennings that the best qb doesnt always get the start. Because there is no doubt Mett and Lee were both better, and many suspect the same for Harris. His parents feel like he will never get a fair shake under Miles, because that precedent has been firmly established

he knows what is going on, can get the checks in, knows the playbook, and very rarely messes up on which way to run (he did this like once). He's calmer in the pocket (maybe a little too calm) and doesn't run at the slightest hint of pressure.
Yikes! Did we watch the same season??

This is just STUPID GARBAGE. I was in the stands when 90,000 fans were booing J. Lee after a pick 6 and cheering for J. Jefferson to come in the game. The freaking fans thought Jefferson was the better qb. Then it became, well, Jefferson isn't any good, put in lee.
Lee gets the start at alabama in 2011. He is scared shitless. he was ducking and throwing at the same time until he threw two picks. LSU won that game because of j. jefferson's ability to run and extend plays. however, when he stunk in the n.c. game, people wanted lee again. Although lee had proved on many occasions he couldn't handle pressure.
Then I remember people not happy about mett in his first year, they wanted rivers OR bolden
Now we are at jennings and harris. People booed jennings in miss st and n.m.st games, harris came in the fourth quarter of ms. state, people cheered, jennings was benched in the sam houston state game, harris had a good half. He wins the job and stinks it up at AU. He fumbled snaps, he turned the wrong way on run plays, he threw over the wr's head, he threw in the dirt. could not tell when they were blitzing. he completed 4 balls going into qtr 4. he scrambles and gets hurt.
So, he got a fair shake and he failed. The PLAYERS wanted jennings. his own team.
quit spewing garbage. There was doubt Mett and Lee were not better than jefferson. There is evidence harris will get a fair shake. There is evidence miles will play them ALL to figure who is the best. and that precedent has been firmly established. The issue, THEY HAVE ALL PLAYED POORLY/STUNK IT UP for the exception of Mett's senior year.
If a guy goes out there and performs well, there will be no qb issues. Please tell me of the players above, was consistantly good? Mett his sr. year. that is it.

You are WRONG!
Absolutely BH would have played at both of those schools/coaches if their starter was in the lowest rankings in the nation statistically!
I find it laughable and embarrassing that you would think either of those offensive minded guys wouldn't have pulled the starter for BH if the starter was horrible.
He'll both of those guys would put a rb in there if needed. but both of them are offensive geniuses who know how to teach a qb and call plays that don't handcuff an offense.

So let me get this straight. You think that CLM is so loyal AJ that he is going to risk losing games and risk his job (costing him millions) even though he knows BH is the better QB???
I would suggest you repeat that a couple times. You will understand why that sounds like crazy talk.
I don't know why BH didn't get more playing time, but I would bet both of my balls that CLM is not sitting around thinking BH is the better QB today and gives us the best chance to win but screw that I like ole AJ better.
Ya'll want to put the QB situation all nice and neat in a little box and it is so cut and dry or black and white. Sorry boys and girls, it is typically not that simple.
I am just glad BH showed more class and maturity by not listening to that idiot of a coach (and I use coach lightly). You never advise someone to give up or get on down the road at the first sign of adversity. Geez, what an a-hole.

So you are saying that:
(1)Miles would rather lose a game than play someone that might win it for him
(2)You know precisely what goes on at practices, in the film room, and in planning sessions
(3)You know more about coaching big time football than Miles does as evidenced by your many many national championships
Yeah,,,,ok
