Cam Cameron is LSU's new offensive coordinator, a source confirmed to CBS on Friday. Cameron and Tigers head coach Les Miles have been tight for years, dating back to their days on Bo Schembechler's staff at University of Michigan in the '80s.
The 52-year-old Cameron had been the Baltimore Ravens OC but was fired during the regular season, before the team went on its Super Bowl run. Cameron replaces Greg Studrawa, who ran a Tiger team that finished No. 85 in the nation in total offense in 2012. LSU, which finished 10-3, did have to overcome an assortment of injuries on its O-line.
Cameron's first project will be trying to help develop Zach Mettenberger, the team's strong-armed QB. The program has been plagued by suspect quarterback play for years and seemingly has been able to win in spite of its QBs. Last season, LSU ranked No. 92 in passing and Mettenberger only had a 12-7 TD-INT ratio.
