Great, but you do realize he has to actually throw as a QB? I much rather the BALL come out crisp and quick than his feet. BH throws infinitely crisper and quicker.

Loser mentality.
Harris shouldn't even worry about AJ. He should just focus on is he doing everything he can to get better. If he's not, then he has no room to gripe.
It's a lot easier for fans of Harris to say that Les is keeping him back, because no one wants to believe that Harris isn't doing everything in his power to get better. If Harris works as hard as he can, the results will take care of themselves
We saw how that worked out for Jarrett Lee. While I agree with your statement most of the time, sometimes you do everything you can and it doesn't work out. With Brandon, he hasn't done everything and he will admit it, but he is still light years ahead of Jennings in talent and he was there since January. The line coming out from the coaching staff about him not knowing the playbook is total crap. If he didn't know the playbook after being an early enrollee, that's on the coaching staff. He memorized the entire wristband and backup wrist band in high school that had over 65 plays on it. So that's just BS that he doesn't know the plays.

No one including doubts he needs to develop and work on his preparation. That can be said about the vast majority of incoming freshman. Most you never hear about. He was put in the spotlight and has basically had his character challenged which is crap. Those of us who know him, know he is a higher character kid than most adults. We just don't like his reputation being smeared. He's one of the best young men I've ever met. I get where David is coming from. He's standing up for his kid because he feels like LSU has thrown him under the bus this year. You can question whether he should have gone public you can't question him standing up for his kid.

Let's just say I'm close to the situation. Brandon is accountable about needing to prepare and do things he needs to be better. He has stated it publicly, but I am telling you right now, believe me or not, he has been lied to about this situation from Day 1. He was told he was going in the 2nd series against Wisconsin-LIE. He was told we would continue to rotate with Jennings-LIE He was told he would get 50% of the snaps at practice-LIE and finally Miles told the public he would see action publicly for a month and he never sniffed the field. Thats the issue.

I think a lot of people are missing the point because he made the statement that he should transfer. The real basis of his comments is that LSU and Miles have consistently lied to Brandon and to the public about the QB situation and he was sticking up for his player.

Question: If we went 14-0 this season, Would Kevin Steele be our DC? If you don't think 8-5 had something to do with it, you aren't being honest with yourself.

Nobody said we are settling for mediocrity. We are saying at this point in the program we are at a crossroads. Expecting a grand slam hire was not realistic. Sorry.

There is a reason we didn't hire a premier DC. You can explain it away as a screw up on Alleva's part all you want but I think its a farce. There is obvious dissent. Our DC left for a reason. 8-5 programs that struggle on Offense to move the ball are not attractive to potential DCs.

Yup Schmelly,
Thats exactly why we had all the stud DCs lining up to take the job, right? Its also why our current DC left because of everything you just listed. Moron.

Why Steele is a Good Hire
Posted by LeagueCityTiger on 1/14/15 at 12:25 pm
I think it's time the fan base is honest with itself. We are coming off a 8-5 season and the program is on a slight downturn. The bottom-line is the DC position is not as attractive at this point as it once was. The best way to get us back in the perennial 10-win season standard when the premier DCs are not willing to come is to hire a guy that has a track record of bringing great talent in. The guy has great organizational skills, is a great recruiter and has worked under one of the better defense minds in the game. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt to see him coordinate a defense that will have elite talent with the recruiting staff we have assembled.
re: Miles Says Anthony Jennings Was Never Benched

"Harris is a better quarterback than Jennings, which is why our fans should just be patient. It will happen."
Just like it did with Lee and Jefferson, right? There is a history of ineptitude when it comes to making decisions regarding the QB. In Brandon's situation if he feels he is gonna sit for two more years it would be very smart to transfer now. As much as I would like him to stay, his skill set was never suited for LSU anyway. Auuburn and Baylor to name a few would be a better fit for his talents. With all that being said, it's highly unlikely because Cam loves the kid so much.

I think the spread has to do more with the fact that this game is:
1) In Tiger Stadium
2) This game is almost always close
3) LSU is coming off an impressive performance
I think right now you can say without hesitation that the Ole Miss program is trending upward. They have done an excellent job recruiting and they have a highly competent coaching staff.
With that said, LSU will most assuredly rebound with their young talent and Miles' history of coming back strong after poor seasons.
Don't doubt for one minute that LSU-Ole Miss will be a war the next few years.

I remember Booty was scared of contact & would get T-Rex arms if he heard footsteps. This is my recollection of him as well.
My recollection was that he was an exceptional receiver with great hands who ran exceptional routes. He had a couple huge games (Notre Dame) and then he got smoked going over the middle (Maybe against Florida???) and that was it. From that point I remember talking to my buddies about that being his downfall. Was never the same.

Lol. I check TD about once every 3 months. It has a tendency to irritate me and make me dumber all at the same time. Yes, Jarred Mitchell has underachieved but he is not too old by any stretch of the imagination. If he figures it out he has a legitimate shot at sticking in the bigs.

So apparently assistant football coach is part of the job. Playing summer baseball past June is another issue. Not sure how Simoneaux fits into that criteria lol. When was the last time he stepped foot on a football field as a coach?
