I would agree with this statement if we were living in the year 1988.
There is nothing insane about expecting to win the title this year. Not with the returning players, the schedule, and a chip the size of Texas on their shoulders.

I agree w/ this. I was speaking more about the crew that wanted to fire Les when we were 7-0 in 2010 b/c we were not winning games 'convincingly'.

I think there is something wrong with expecting to win a title any year. I limit my expectation to being competitive.
There's too much riding on the bounce of an oddly shaped ball to expect to win it all. LSU was fortunate to avoid major injury last season, coupled with a well above average turnover margin. Teams that have such a great turnover ratio tend to regress the following year.
If one or both of those don't go the right way, 2012 LSU could be on the outside looking in come next January.

The problem with LSU, as perceived by those outside the program, has nothing to do with a lack of talent; it's coaching that's the issue.
Even the talking heads who supposedly "hate" us will give us credit for having one of the most talented teams, if not the most talented team, in the country. It's the coaching that's always been suspect, because we always seem to lose at least one game that we shouldn't, and a couple of those losses have been due to some questionable decisions by Miles and his staff. The fiasco in NOLA last month just serves to reinforce the perception that Miles isn't a very good coach and that the talent we have helps to mask that fact.
