LSU and Auburn coaching

I know you folks like to fan the flames, but let's understand one simple thing.
The coaches jobs are in jeopardy almost entirely because of QB play. Harris and Johnson turned out to be busts. You can't score points when you have a QB that can't make basic throws and turns the ball over excessively.
I just think we should all be clear about this, and realize that the main way these coaches have failed is in not recruiting more quality QB's. It doesn't mean they are bad coaches in general, or that they should be fired immediately. They just need to address the QB position and hopefully get a blue chipper for next year.

Etling will remind everyone how good a coach Les is.

I think our QB is decent, just in the wrong system to maximize his strengths.

Aren't they responsible if the QB they recruit and develop can't play?

I actually agree. The thing is that Gus used to tailor his offense around his players' strengths. It's like the ease with which Cam and Marshall ran his system either changed his philosophy or made him lazy. Either way, he has lost much of the creativity that once made him a great offensive mind.
Still, I think firing him would be a mistake. I'm aware of his recent conference record and it is obviously a huge concern. 2014 was more of a defensive issue as we gave up 36ppg in our last 5 SEC games. While it's ultimately his fault that we're in this situation and even considering his flaws, I know that his offense is lethal when he has the QB he wants.
I just don't think Auburn is that far away, and if we had that QB then I really believe that we'd be a very dangerous team. You aren't going to find another Cam, but there are players like Nick Marshall out there who can run his offense effectively. I'm clearly in the minority but that's my opinion.

ok, that's the MAIN way they've failed. but there are other ways too.

just how many years should they get to address this? les miles has had bad QB play for most of his career and terrible QB play out of his last two starters.
I think we should be clear about this, firing Les Miles would not be an IMMEDIATE firing.

I can't speak for LSU, but Auburn's problem has been evaluating and developing QBs. That along with dumb play calling.
