I still remember when he was head coach at Indiana. During Antwan Randle-El's senior (?) year, he moved Randle-El from quarterback to wide receiver and started some kid at QB who couldn't distribute the ball. The theory was that Randle-El would make plays downfield, but they couldn't get it to him. The theory wasn't even sound; if your best playmaker is your best playmaker because of what he can do with the ball in his hands, you don't move him from the position where he gets the ball 60-70 times a game to a place where he's lucky to see it 10 times a game. They didn't stick with the plan the whole year, but it had done so much damage by the time he finally changed up his plan that I believe the Randle-El situation is what cost Cameron not only the Indiana job, but a future at a larger school. He was a "coach to watch" at the time. His work in the pros has been unspectacular to this point.
On the flip side, he was a good recruiter at Indiana and should help LSU there.
