It really is that close...but just not sure we have the right qb to get us there. People laugh...but just think if we had a qb that could hit on a third and 7 and keep the chains moving...with our run game

Your family should tell that person it is their fault for the clown show they are running. You really expect a top notch Oc to come here when you were essentially one half away from firing the coach? Ha-ha good luck with that.

Alleva, Alexander and the board has now handcuffed the program.

I have no problem with Cam being renewed, but he does not deserve a raise or to be the highest paid OC in the country. He should be offered the same deal Steele has, 1 million a year for 3 with the Miles clause. That would still keep him as one of the highest paid coordinators in the country.

This will get lost because it has no factual bases and you completely made up every thing you said.

If you are off work today and Tom, go watch replays of LSU, idiana, OSU, chargers, ravens.

'll say this one time and really it should be in it's own thread but the problem Miles/Cam have is that while the rest of football understand that it is better to get defenders out the way by formation and play calling, while they still believe in straight up man on man out physicalling the opponent., In other words by 'spreading' the defense vs straight up overpowering them. Also the rest of football world believes in deception and motion to move defenders to help open up plays as well, whereas Miles/Cam don't understand this concept.
This guy gets it. I'll go a step further and say that its not the "play calling" thats the problem but more the play design. The route patterns rarely see open receivers and again just depend on our man beating their cover guy. No combination/rub routes or anything designed to get our guys open.

Your right, our receivers have never been open.

Let's just ignore the dozen times Harris missed an open LF or wide open Jeter.

we really didn't need a 'top notch ' OC, but just about anyone would do. Like Peterson from La Tech run a very good offense and I'm sure he could be lured here with enough money and with the prestige of turning around a major college offense would look good on his resume.

And if he doesn't? He will be looking for a new job. That's the thing, LSU wont offer job security.

Im not saying that Harris is perfect, he's not. But we sure dont give him much help with the passing scheme we run. I cant tell you how many times Ive watched from the upper deck on 3rd and 7 and 3 wides all run a 7 yard hook. Our routes are so easy to cover that its comical. i will admit that when we do finally go to a tight end or runningback that they are usually open but it is way too seldom to even matter.

You must have missed all the badly thrown balls to open recs when we had third and 7. Most of time play would have gone for first down but rec had to adjust for ball and gets decleated short of first down...when an accurate throw would resulted in big play. That's even when we are able to complete it. One game last year saw dural, diasre, and fournette all get hurt due to poorly thrown balls.

exactly. With the way defenses crowd the box and as few times as we attempt to throw we should have our primary target receiver running wide the frick open nearly every time but that's not the case.

doesn't matter, even one year at a school like LSU would be huge on his resume.

Never seen this and would need a link for cred.
If you said 3WRs run deep posts and flags, I'd consider.

exactly. Another person who gets it. It's really not our play calling as much as it is our play designs and also formations.

that's not nearly the whole problem but your right in that the QB certainly isn't helping our cause of trying to get a better offense. If we could only accomplish hitting open recievers underneath when we do get them, it would go a long way.

If Miles doesn't believe in deception, then where in the world did the Mad Hatter nickname come from? I know Cam wasnt here at that time, but to say deception and motion are foreign concepts to some one nicknamed the Mad Hatter and some one with significant NFL experience is pretty far off base.

You're reaching for magic bullets, or staff discredits.
CFB teams are copycats that practice mostly all the same combos within their scheme and some just execute better, therefore featuring them more than others.
Different formations didn't really help LSU, unless the execution was there.
The staff hasn't been able to replicate practiced plays in games is the problem.

on the one hand you want to say we run a "pro style" different from other colleges, on the other you want to say our offense is a copy cat of all other college programs.

of course we need good execution, we just haven't been getting it with this OC for whatever reasons of which there are many

If you can't see that our offense system is different than most other colleges I really can't help you
