    Exactly right. What incentive does he have to make changes among his staff or his offense. He knows he wont get fired so why the hell would he change.

    That would be false.

    We threw the ball 8 times in the first half. And had it not been the case that we fell behind late in the game, we would have thrown the ball exactly 16 times because les would not have allowed Harris to throw the ball again with the lead late in the game.

    16 times

    Remember those first few passes by Harris as a tiger? a few darts, slants and long balls that looked like a promising young talent.

    Hadnt seen that guy in 2 years. All we have is anthony jennings v2.0 hail marys after slamming LF7 up the middle over and over. Its amazing how we can ruin anyone at the position almost overnight. this staff should fire itself.

    I was never sold on Harris and it goes back to seeing him at QB competition between the top HS quarterbacks his senior season, maybe it was the Under Armor thing. Also watched a freak of an athlete compete named Jacory Washington. Don't think he has even seen the field in his career.

    Harris has a strong arm and some speed. That's it. He has no idea what he is doing and it's getting worse. Miles and company are responsible, but even the little things that Harris can control in the game, he doesn't.

    We saw the same ole shit, confused at the line, coming out of time outs and still being confused. Plays not being sent in on time, people lining up wrong, missed assignments by the O line. It was the same exact Crap product we have seen over and over.

    true. we heard him speak and thought he was intelligent. on the deans list and all reportedly as a freshman. looks dumber than jordan jefferson in game smarts by a lot. i mean jj looks like an all pro next to harris currently.

    but a strong arm and speed are two huge things with almost any other staff. fuck, if you cant work with that you may as well hang it up. its 99% a les miles issue.

    Terry Bradshaw couldn't spell cat but he became a Hall of Fame QB. Could it be coaching?

    This is all on coaching, specifically the HC. Simply because we see the team constantly show up with no energy. Piss poor gameplans to start the game. LSU has zero fire and wins on talent. I think it's past the point of no return. The kids love Miles but this ship is sinking fast. Something has to happen. He has lost 4 of his last 5 regular season games.

    I'm not even sure if the kids love Miles anymore. Not the older ones at least. Even they can see the bullshit now.

    They must keep practice very simple. Light contact, no disguising coverages, etc. Only reason I can think he (and all our QB's) have so much trouble making throws in game situations. Hell, him walking up to line and looking to sideline says a lot about how they're being coached...or not. Between the got dam team, the bench AND the coaches, they can't call plays. Not to mention our Oline not being able to block- especially when their big fat asses are rolling around on the turf.

    I have said this countless times, that if you were able to see the LSU practices, you would come away with the answer as to why we only excel at running the ball.

    It's all about what you put into the product. Les miles is not invested into the passing game whatsoever. He wishes that aspect of the game did not exist.
