I believe the sunshine pumpers actually liked the crowds in 1994 when we had 40000 in tiger stadium watch us lose to southern miss. They fill like they were part of something real

It's still correctable. But the first step is to acknowledge the problem which hasn't happened yet.


When are folks going to learn that Miles NEVER acknowledges a problem, and he never calls out a coach or player. He just quietly goes about fixing it in his own way and in his own time. When the co-DCs didn't work out in 08, he never complained about the D publicly, or even acknowledged that there was a problem. But both coaches soon left for "better opportunities" and he hired the Chief. He never criticized Crowton, but Crowton left for Maryland and he hired Krags.

I would not be surprised to see him make some kind of change in the offensive coaching this off-season, but he won't preface any change with some kind of public exposure of what he thinks the problems are. He'll just do it in such a way as to avoid embarrassing any coaches. It's frustrating for us fans when he does this, but I respect his efforts to avoid throwing any coach or player under the bus.

I'm betting this dead weight he is referring to includes 50 year olds who help fund the program.

This same thing was said after 2008 and 2009.


And? Since then we are 1-3 in bowl games, gained the distinction of being the only team to be shutout during the NCG, and are once again on the outside watching other teams compete in BCS games. And we just lost a bowl game to a team that everyone on here thought was vastly inferior in a bowl everyone here thought we were too good for.

Last year was an utter fluke. We had an unsustainable turnover margin, a once-in-a-lifetime defense, and the SEC schedule was incredibly weak. It was the best LSU team ever based purely on talent, and they still couldn't put up a single point against Bama in the NCG. And even before that we had entire halves without a first down against inferior teams.

If Miles couldn't win an NCG with that team then there is no way he ever does again.

Nope. Still alive here and lighter cpmplexion too.
If you can't handle the response to your lame post, don't post.

"Program in decline". Tiresome.

I feel your pain OP. I want to tell you that it will get better, but it doesn't.

It only gets worse and worse and worse and you're helpless to do anything about it. The bad part is your coach is locked up longterm now. If you'd like to peek into the future, take a gander at Iowa. Locked up an average coach with a huge salary and long term deal, complacency was inevitable and now they're stuck. The bright side is Louisiana has a great class coming up, down side is it will be harder and harder to keep them home.

Whats frustrating is that the offense is fixable, just no attempt is made in fixing it.

I don't mind getting beat by a better team. Just hate to loose on nation TV by very poor coaching decisions...that are mostly embarassing moments for the school. If it doesn't happen next year with the offense, I think Miles will feel pressure.

Go frick yourselves you bunch of stupid fricking pussies!!!

We have 34 wins the past three seasons, best in the entire history of LSU Football, tying the record of 2005-2007.

Do you notice a common link between those two time periods you fricking idiots????

You are all a bunch of fricking losers who will never be satisfied with anything.

Seriously, eat AIDS dicks and die in a fire!!
