After speculation ran rampant on Twitter of LSU offensive coordinator Cam Cameron leaving the program on Wednesday morning, the third-year Tiger coordinator has quickly dismissed that report, according to LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette.

Despite a prostate cancer diagnosis before the 2015 season began, Cameron coached the entire year after being given a clean bill of health. In LSU’s Texas Bowl win against Texas Tech, Cameron coached from the sideline instead of the booth, as the Tigers racked 638 yards of offense and 56 points.
The Tigers finished the 2015 season ranked No. 39 nationally in total offense, including a No. 7 ranking in rushing offense.
