Would Cam Cameron be a legitimate candidate for HC IF Les retires?

FIrst off I'm a Les Miles fan. I like him as a person and I feel under some difficult circumstances, he's maintained what Saban started at LSU. Is he perfect and the "perfection obsessed" person Saban is? No. But he does have a lot of redeemable qualities and has used LSU's position to recruit very well and produces W's. I hope he stays and gets another Natty in a year or 2.
Now, with that out of the way, if Cam stays at LSU and Les decides it's time to move on say in 2 years, get out of coaching to spend more time with family, whatever, is Cam Cameron a legitimate candidate for the HC position at LSU?

no. some people were not made out to be Head Coaches. He is one. He is and always will be a Great coordinator but he dosent have that HC feel. look at his track record as a HC

No. He is not HC material anywhere.

I would think so. He's been a HC at the NFL level. I don't see how he wouldn't be under consideration.
However, the Powers That Be at LSU are still afraid of Mike Archer Syndrome. Never mind that it's been 26 years since he was hired. So there's really no telling.

People said the same things about The Great Belicheck at one time. Pete Carroll as well.

Head coaching record
Overall 18–37 (college)
1–15 (NFL)

Glad you find that amusing. Really insightful commentary.

I never recall anyone saying he was not CFB HC material ... only folks saying he couldn't hack it in the NFL.
Obviously, those people were wrong.
In other words ... people said the same stuff about Carroll that they now say about Little Nicky and Spurrier.
Except Carroll saw the writing on the wall from his cheating at SC ... so, he bolted back to escape and get paid.
Little Nicky has had teflon ... and Spurrier will simply retire now once he's done coaching and golfing.

Dude has been our OC for nine games. NINE games.

Once again, Belicheck and Carroll didn't look much like HC material either at one time...until they found the right gig.

I see where the records do not bode well for consideration. But we are talking LSU, not Indiana (or wherever he coached in College...and the Dolphins are not the pinnacle of NFL franchises...see Nick Saban)

Hire Chip Kelly and don't look back!

To put his Indiana tenure in perspective. He was fired at Indiana in 2001. He won five more Big Ten games during his tenure than any other IU coach has one since.
In 1999, he lost to Michigan, 34-31, when Brady drove the length of the field to beat them. They lost to Drew Brees's Purdue team that same year, 30-24. The next year they lost to Philip Rivers and N.C. State on a late touchdown.
The year he was fired they won at Wisconsin, 63-32, put up 489 yards rushing in a win at Michigan State, and also beat Northwestern and Purdue.
I wouldn't just look at his IU career and dismiss him. Also, let's not forget that he was hired at IU at 36-year-old. He was just a kid.
At Miami he was working with John Beck and Cleo Lemon. His running backs for the majority of the season were Jesse Chatman and Patrick Cobbs. Nobody was winning with that roster.
I too think Cam may best be suited to be a coordinator but he's smart, articulate, and I believe a lot tougher now than he was even in Miami. Someone in CFB will give him a shot at some point.

Yeah how he performed at Indiana over 10 years ago doesn't really tell me much about how viable a candidate he would be for LSU in the near future.

Cam will be OC at lsu as long as miles is here. After that we will hire a new head coach....and it wont be cam.

if we continue to look competent on offense, he develops Mett's successor, and shows some recruiting acumen, then yes.
I watched some of those games when he was at IU on ESPN back in the day (Randle El was good for some exciting football), and their issue was defense and lack of talent. I don't think he'd have those issues at LSU (again, if he can recruit and put a staff together).

Pardon me, but about that 1-15 record at Miami. Cameron took over as HC of the Miami team after Saban left to go to Alabama. Saban was 6-10 in 2006 with a great defense but anemic offense that was playing its third string QB at end of season.
CC took over same team and in 2007 went 1-15.
