re: College football coaches that were fired too early

Shows you how much of a Michigan man he really is
He would rather be out of a job than fire a friend.

Maybe the problem was Harris and Jennings and not Miles nor Cameron

This is the problem with LSU Football.
Someone has to answer and it is usually a coach
Maybe it is because you put such high hopes on your coaches.
After watching Coach O play Bama last year I feel sorry for Canada.
The guy does not understand what he is getting into with LSU

Nice try at dodging my question.

The coaches did not develop our qbs. We wanted Les to change OCs, like he's done two times before when the offense didn't improve. He didn't. He lost his job because of it. College football is a business.

I actually believe it is to be LSU's academics more than anything else

If you look at the history of the NFL and QB's who have been Pro Bowlers you will see a list of all the main academics powers in college football
Washington
USC
Michigan
Purdue

Well that's just stupid and shows how little you know about LSU currently and LSU or Louisiana history. But like a typical B1G snob you want to claim superiority.

First off. I couldn't care less about how the QBs did in the pros. But LSUs academics are much better now than in the past, maybe not Michigan level but to say that's why 1 coach out of the las 5 couldn't develop a QB is asinine.

We are not arguing about producing pro QBs you don't need guys to be all pros to win in college nor do they need to be MENSAs. You are trying to blame a state and a school for what is clearly a coaches fault just because he's a "Michigan Man"

Also you said he'd rather be out of a job then fire a friend. I realize you think that's noble, but what you are endorsing is nepotism. If someone is not performing at their job you have to make a change, ask John Harbaugh.

Actually conduct a study since 2000 on QB's who have started the most games each and every year for each franchise and then see what university they attended Then check on that university's academic ranking. You will see a correlation. I have done this before in 2008.

I bet those rankings are distorted by a couple of guys. Clearly Brady and Brees will account for the overwhelming amount of starts in that time period for UM and Purdue. As is Stanford by Luck.

Every State has a public university some states more than others but within every state each state gives a certain amount of money to their public university system. Some of these states give much more money than others explaining why they have more than one great public universities and some less than others explaining why they have less than other states.
If I was a 17 year old kid from Louisiana I would need money to be provided a great education because Tulane is not cheap and a lot of states have high out of state tuition.


Maybe next time you wonder why you do not have a great QB at LSU you should be asking your state congressman why can't more of your tax dollars go to fund your university's academic and athletic programs.

Russell failed because Russell didn't have the work ethic. It is doubtful he succeeds anywhere. He got by on talent in HS and college. However that is a) not because LSU is ranked "lower" in academic rankings or b) relevant to Miles situation. Miles failed to recruit and develop a HS QB in 12 years. That's not only inexcusable it would seem to be even less likely than recruiting 12 of them. And also all the ones that they recruited but transfered out did absolutely nothing either so clearly that was an issue with identifying talent as well.
