Do you think it hurts recruiting and therefore eventually our football program to have an extremely vocal base of fans who are hyper-critical and overly negative?
This is not refering to the normal decent fan who will question certain coaching decisions.

We have fans that are very negative and are suggesting that Les Mile's is losing control of the program and that his job security should be in question.
My belief is that other teams use this type of speculation to recruit against LSU and cause the recruit to question the stability of the LSU football program.

We have several fans that will be quick to boo this Saturday night if our offense goes three and out in the first series.
We will have several highly rated recruits that will attend the game and will take note of this negativity. The recruit will likely question the state of the football team and program based on fan reaction.

The bottom line is that overly critical fans who want Les Miles on the hot-seat after bringing his team to the National Championship game one season ago can affect a recruits perception of the program which will eventually create a self-fulfilling prophecy situation.

For the millionth fricking time, scoring 6 points 12 points and 0 points in the last 3 SEC games hurts recruiting more than I ever could.

No so STFU.

Where are you dumbasses coming from.
I have a question for you.

Have you played football?
How long?
What was the years you played in high school?
Did you get recruited to play college?
Did you play college ball?

You probably can't answer three of those questions so go away.

BTW: your so German your Hessian.

if y'all think that high school athletes (and potential recruits) don't read this site then you're just as stupid as your posts

Why are people like you so damn frightened to feel pissed about something with LSU football - to the point of ridiculously stretching to put it on the shoulders of the fans? I don't get it.

Oh, and

I think this would have happened already if it was possible. We have the most passionate fan base in the country. P. S. this is one dumb tread by the way.

You are a tard. Why would them reading any of this have to do with their decision to come to my school or not? I seriously doubt any of them are going to listen to us instead of Les Miles or John Chavis, can you imagine seing those rings on their hand and seeing a letter with intent to recruit in your face? Do you honestly believe that they are going to listen some LSU fan talking shot about Miles or Chavis?

Not to mention have you seen the football players cars/clothes?

You obviously have never played serious football either, you can STFU too.

Last TD pass against an SEC team came against Georgia.

Georgia
Alabama
Auburn
Florida

Will the streak continue?

Did Updyke hurt Bama?

Only in the world of Derek Ponamsky can Ensminger's weak recruiting sauce on Lorenzo Phillips be blamed on "fan negativity".

...and evidently in yours as well, I guess...
