Every single report I read, and every bit of "inside information" I hear, suggests that the team as a whole feels far more comfortable with Jennings than with Harris. That should tell us something, imo.

This is complete BS.... Where do you people come up with this stuff.... Most of the people who claim to have sources, quotes, etc.. are talking out their arse. Why does it make you a shitty fan for saying anything bad about Les Miles? I like the guy but he is stubborn and ignorant when it comes to fixing problems. He wins off an NFL defense and tremendous special teams. Imagine he probably would win a championship or two if he could have somewhat of a pulse on offense. If we continue next year with shitty QB play and don't even get ten wins then he can clear his office. There is always an excuse every year. I was expecting about three losses this year but my issue was how horrific we looked the entire season. Our offense is more simplified than a HS offense. AJ clearly doesn't have it, and yet, Les couldn't get BH into the last coup games when we had zero to play for? I hope Les proves me wrong this offseason but right now I am not very excited about where we are going. Even if the entire defense come back, we will need a decent offense just to make the playoffs or to even win our division.

Utter and complete bullshite invented by pumpers and Shea Dixon from their "sources"

The policy should be to post a link to a reputable source or get fricking banned. Ridiculous downing a kid with no proof

its interesting the Jennings guys/ les fans have no problem running down the kids character at all. The people that want harris to start aren't running down Jennings character.

Jennings is awful... having a beast defense is our only hope for 8 wins next year. It's sickening that 8-9 wins is our ceiling now.

This....... is why someone within the program needs to explain Jennings comments. It is wrong for those in the program to just let such comments go, if Harris is indeed working his butt off.

Are we sure Jennings actually said this and the quote isn't actually from Jefferson in 2011?

Trying to be funny, but this is serious. It makes LSU's program look bad if Harris is working his butt off and coaches let Jennings get away with such a remark.

Quit trying to stir up stuff.


Jennings has put in time studying film, trying to learn the plays, etc.


Harris has not, at least not as much as Jennings has.



Yes, Harris has a quicker delivery, he's faster on his feet, seems more of "a natural" but that alone isn't enough for anyone in their right mind to say, "Ok, here you go. Start."

There is a method to the madness. Every player has to go through the learning part. The transition from high school to college football.

That said, if Harris doesn't/isn't putting time in doing what the coaches ask, as you yourself suggested, he's not going to be awarded the starting position. That's just a fact.

Would I like to see Harris play more? Definitely.



It's nothing personal against Harris, it happens at every school.

What I gather from all this is that Harris, while clearly the better talent, is simply unwilling to put in the time or effort to contend for the starting position. There's a lot of circumstantial evidence to support this, including statements from teammates and Harris himself.
Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one.

Harris better get his shite together in a hurry. Why do you think CC just brought the kid in from Florida at this late date?

There's something there that LM/CC don't like about BH.........

Are you stirring shite up or is this fact?

Did BH stop putting in the time after the Auburn game?

We expected too much from a combinations of kids who couldn't execute and/or grasp things quickly enough. Some major issues have come up with how the staff have leaked out messaging regarding the QB issue which has negatively impacted fan perception.

I view this as a two-fold problem. We failed to accurately prepare and develop the kids on and off the field. This is obvious to anyone with a brain. This can be corrected and a year of work and development along with adjustments by the staff will improve this.

The other part of the problem is Miles' utter lack of media presence. His fumbling, bumbling style has forced most information out about this subject through and via intermediaries that didn't do a good job of controlling the message.

The result is a distrust of information we do hear along with distrust of what we see in terms of a product on the field.

Just a total shite show on the part of the staff, made worse than it really is by the staff media skills or lack thereof.

So now we have concerns about qb because we are trying to recruit a qb in a up coming class?

LSU's QB coaching and the handling of this situation couldn't be much worse. Don't be too surprised if in a few years, Rettig is tearing it up at Rutgers.

Yes, it seems like AJ is resembling JJ and this coaching staff has squandered opportunities to give Harris meaningful snaps since the Auburn game.

it's really a divisive comment to make and honestly unneeded. Jennings is acting like there should be no question as to who the starting QB is when in fact he was literally one of the worst QB's in the country in 2014 and last or dead last in SEC stats for QB's.
