LSU fan here.

Was just coming to ask for your opinion's on this hire for LSU, and what LSU fans can expect out of him. I Know he was fired this season prior to your superbowl run. Thanks in advance for the insight.

[berad]

Not an NFL job, it's worth noting, but he landed on his feet somewhere. He might be a better college coach than pro.

So, does Alabama want to dominate the SEC for another 4 years?

* LSU hires Cam Cameron as their offensive coordinator. *

Alright, then; another 4 years, it is, of Alabama dominating the SEC...

Hard to say really. College is very different from the NFL. He's a good development guy as an OC as far as young QBs are concerned. He could fit in well here.

Good luck, Cam.

Good luck Cam!

Looks like Cam has latched on in Baton Rouge and will be the OC for the LSU Tigers next year.

[Clutch Ravens]

Genuinely pleased for him and his family.

I wish him all the best as LSU's new OC.

Cam Cameron will make Les Miles run to the NFL faster than LSU's offense could get off the field with Cam as OC.

[JO_75]

On a more serious note, Cam Cameron found his way to Louisiana after all.

[AsianRice]

good luck Cam, glad you find a job....

Cam is very good developing young QB; the one that he trains will be really for NFL for sure.....

He can develop quarterbacks, and especially when they're young he likes to run the football. He does do some head scratching things every season, but with The Mad Hatter as your coach I'm sure you're used to that by now. I'm not really sure what your quarterback's strengths are, but Cam is a big time Air Coryell disciple, and pretty much uses the same route tree over and over again, expecting his receivers to beat man coverage consistently. Our receivers weren't so good at it, but if you have bigger guys who are man coverage beaters he could do some special things. Overall though, if your quarterback needs help learning to play the game, Cam is one of the best.

Makes a easy win for my gators!

[flaccopoe]

He's secretly on Nick Saban's payroll!

[Moderator 2]

I am happy for Cam and his family. I think Cam was important I Joes development his first 2 and maybe 3 years after that he was too rigid BUT with college guys that may not be a bad thing.

His 18-37 record at Indiana begs to differ. He's just a bad coach in general. I also don't see how his preachy dictatorial style is going to resonate with college players. All I know that LSU better hope they recruit the best offense line in all of the NCAA, so that they can run and have those extremely long developing plays sometimes work. Even then, his vanilla offense is going to be eaten alive by Saban's defense and probably by many others in that conference.

[redrum52]

End around, end around, run up the middle, punt... just playing. Not going to judge yet cause he might've realized he might need to loosen up and change how he calls plays. Should be interesting. Calling plays in college is a lot different than the NFL.

[jberta1]

Getting Cam out of town was one of the best decisions the Ravens have ever made. I mean, how does Ray have games with single digit carries? That's what crossed the line for me.

Preachy can work better at a collegiate level because coaches have more power at that level... that is to say, the players have less individual power.

Well I guess stupid is what stupid does. I guess LSU thinks that mediocrity will lead a pathway to success. Cam doesn't have a decent sized resume in the college ranks, so maybe he'll find success there again.

Cam had alot of success w/ us, chargers, and in college. Not sure why you are putting him in the spot when all he did was take all the blame for offense miscues and gracefully left in classy manner when he was abruptly fired.

[baltravens]

Maybe he is better suited for college ball. With me I rarely follow the kids, sticking with the big boys.

[flaccopoe]

Ravens<3 already posted a Thread about this...

[Ravenseconbeast]

Cam has a long history with Les Miles. They were both asisstant under Bo Schmbeckler tree, and both worked toghether for over 10 years in 2 colleges. They are not strangers. They probably know each other better than Harbaugh knows Cam.

[gotekiraven]

Some are better suited at the college level. Maybe that was Cams true calling.

[Raven Hammer]

Cam is good at early develp. not going with the strength of the player. Has done and will do well at the college level
