Would a Jimbo Fisher-coached LSU team have benched Harris in 2016?

That's basically what we're seeing with Mond in 2020.

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

LSU actually did. I don’t want to hate on Harris but he never played well. Miles certainly did him no favors either.

2 games into 2016. I'm wondering if Fisher wouldn't have stubbornly stuck with Harris instead of going with Etling.

In fact, let's compare Brandon Harris Sophomore season to Kellen Mond's freshman season (year before coaching change):

Harris (2015): 149-277-6 for 2165 yards and 13 TD, 67 carries for 226 yards and 4 TD <9-3 record>

Mond (2017): 117-227-6 for 1375 yards and 8 TD, 89 carries for 340 yards and 3 TD <6-4 record/5-3 as starter>

Mond just needs more time.

The extra year of eligibility is great for a guy like him.

He could really be elite in 2021

The funny part was Gary and brad saying how great Mond was. Said he couldn’t carry the team by himself.

Harris was benched by Miles though that year.

Just now saw this. Harris was so much worse than anything you’ve seen from Mond in those 2 games that anyone would have replaced him.

Mond just threw for 318 vs Bama 3-1 TD -INT ratio. LSU was pathetic vs Wisconsin and was trailing and hardly getting first downs vs I wanna say Jacksonville State? .... Not the same situation.

That fits the pregame show nonsense when they were basically bowing at his feet for the shite he pulled this past summer.

2015 Harris >>>>>>>> 2017 Mond (who went 3-17 in his debut, was benched against Nichols State and trailed UL Monroe at the half)

Remember when Harris came in against State or whoever and tore it up and everyone was begging Miles to replace Jennings with him?

He'd be one of 5 players left on the roster if he is allowed to return.

If you find yourself comparing your program's QB to Brandon Harris just go ahead and hurl yourself out of a window

I like A&M too much for them to disappear, but it would be funny to watch if this happened.

Les Miles ruined Harris by running an offense where the QB only passes in obvious situations and into super tight windows on the sideline.

Don't think Jimbo would have done that, so it is difficult to know whether Harris might have developed differently. It is certainly possible -- the kid had a really good arm.
