Although it's really not debatable by knowledgeable fans that he is one of the top coaches in college football, he does have one major flaw, his slowness to make changes to personel and assistant coaches. Case in point: Beckwith for Welter. Also possibly Harris for Jennings (although this could be Cams influence on this). Thirdly, his continued trust in Cam Cameron and his lack of making a change, as of yet, in this glaring weakness to the program. We can only hope he breaks his trend and makes the change after the regular season and before the bowl game. But we will probably have to suffer through another entire season of Cam running the offense before the change happens.

Why do you clowns continue to say it was Les' call to start Welter?

You're really ready for Cam to go? Wow...

I really don't care who the QB is. I just want the trenches shored up for next year. That Oline was beyond bad most of this season. Something posters on here don't seem to be concerned with. Just ask Drew Brees if you don't believe me

I ain't ever heard this angle before. Glad you had wrote it out for me to see, and stuff.

I'm pretty convinced that Harris is just a shithead that isn't putting the work in that's needed

Interesting that before the season started people on this site were head over heels in love with all of our assistant coaches. Cam developed Bree's, Flaco, yadda, yadda, yadda! Now because we had a year with an untested QB people want to blow up the ship. It ain't easy being an LSU fan with people jumping on and off the band wagon all the time.

So cam has been here 2 years. First year we set school records, SEC records, averaged 36 points per game. This year, poor QB play, and the offense has sputtered. He should be fired?

I wasn't . I was in love with the hire when we hired him just because of his credentials. But once we got deeper into the season it became apparent to me that he was holding back the offense. Great players were making great plays but he wasn't doing anything to make it easier for this offense to move the ball. Still finished 7th in total offense in the SEC last season even with the great talent at his disposal. Just think what any other OC in this conference could have done with that talent.

set a lot of individual records and had a great 3rd down conversion ratio (thanks to Landry, HIll, Mett, and OBJ pulling off some great plays), but compared to the rest of the SEC it was nothing special.

Have you ever given a thought that the plan was to bring Beckwith on slowly from the very start?
Kid got better as year went on. .. He was as bad as welter first of the year.

As far as qbs go, les miles makes a lot of money.
I'm sure he wants to keep his job and win more than me, you and anyone else here.
There's a reason Harris hasn't played more.
I don't know that reason ....but it's not bc of loyalty you fricking retard.
Geeees.

Somewhat related but his biggest weakness is not demanding enough from himself and his staff.

One of the best responses I have seen in a while. This game is won in the trenches. It all starts up front. If you don't have a good O-line it is hard to execute.

Roght, because that's never happened before with Les. Dude gives the starting QB position to a guy who was suspended for half of the season for being a dumbass, then when said dumbass starts playing like arse (again) Miles refuses to make a change and essentially quit during the national championship.

Before the season people said that if Miles started Jennings from the jump he would finish the season as the starter, and that is exactly what has happened despite having our worst offense since Denardo.

He's too stubborn for his own good. It's not just the qb. He refuses to change his style of offense no matter the coordinator, and the results are mediocre, boring football. We're not even talking about a spread....we rarely see 3 wr sets.

I have long supported Coach Miles but his stubbornness is frustrating.
