WE ARE THE LSU TIGERS!!!!!!

Excuse the lenght of this post, but maybe this needs to be said.
It's natural that a great many of us are angered, aggravated,and tired of the timing of these most recent coaching change events; even to the point of feeling like LSU has become coaching "spring board". That said, the positives of the LSU football program, clearly outweigh any negatives that can be raised.
Many individuals have commented that Miles and others have simply used our program to try to "improve" their resume and "stroke their eqo's" in order to leave for a better job. These guys are not any different than any other individual in the workplace who is consistently trying to improve his or her professional "steed". That's what working hard and continuing to educate one's self is all about isn't it?
I appreciate the efforts that Miles and staff have put in, and the record which he has led the team to over the last several seasons. Were it not for the one "dream job" Miles has always wanted, he would be going nowhere. Put any of us in the same situation, and I doubt that we would do anything any differently than Les?
But, for the moment, PUT ALL OF THAT ASIDE! It says a lot for our program that we will be sending TWO coaches, not one, on their way to lead not one, but two of the nation's once, most promient programs. Throw in Nick, and we have not one, not two, but three former LSU coaches leading three of the Top 10 all time programs. Can you imagine that happeing in previous decades? And tell me of another college program that can boast of that feat---all the while CONTINUING TO PLAY FOR NATIONAL AND CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS consistently. That alone should tell you what LSU's football program has become.
Let's not focus on the negative, but the real positive in all of this---WE HAVE ARRIVED AND WE ARE HERE TO BE FOREVER RECKOWNED WITH.
Don't be sad, mad, or frutrated; BE PROUD of who LSU now is, and what the Tigers have become. I have no doubt whatsoever, and neither should you, that we will get a great new head coach, whoever it may be, and we won't "miss a beat"! We simply have too much to offer as we all know: Facilities, tradition, a talent laden "stable of players", a strong base of financhial support, a wealth of local high school talent, not to mention THE GREATEST COLLEGE FANS IN THE NATION, who cheer in "hand's down" THE greatest football stadium in the world TIGER STADIUM. There is nothing any more any new coach could ask for to build a great staff and continue the path of success that we are now on consistenlty.
So relax, and let's set aside our coaching "frustrations" until tomorrow and go out and support the BEST college football progam in the country, as it heads out this afternoon TO win the MOST COVETED conference championship in the Nation---THE SEC!
As the famous phrase says: "Together we stand" as the Tiget Nation, "divided we fall" as all of the other college program pretenders have! Let's lock arms and show the team, the Volunteers, the conference, tne next "Head Coach" and the Nation what being a TIGER is all about!

Keep hearing some of the same things we were all chatting about several nights ago. Wish I were in Atlanta where I would most likely have the opportunity to visit with a couple of "old friends", but gave my six tickets to my son's and niece and nephew, and we are babysitting so that they could attend. My oldest son knows who to seek out today and tonight and I am waiting for him to call me later to see what the "old guard" is saying. Will let you guys know when I hear something! Again, from what it appears, I keep hearing that "Sexton's handprints" are still all over this for whateve it's worth.

If I lived in Livingston Parish, I would feel pretty negative too! Just curious how you could prerceive the current state of the LSU football program to be "garbage"?

Don't need to look up the term, have used it many times to colleagues in pointing out what they percieved as "overly optimistic" point-of- view. Not being confrontational, but prhaps you can tell me what is "pollyanish" about the comment shared? Have we not arrived as an "elite" program? Are those coaches not at, or going to some storied-type programs? Do we not have the assets I describe? Personally, if I were the CEO of such an organizaiton, I would relish the thought of leading that organization. That's all I am trying to say!

Nice post, LSU is a powerhouse program now. Hopefully, we can keep that status for years to come.

Honestly, when I saw the length of the post, I was tempted to pass. Until I saw it was you...I've enjoyed your input over the last few days.
As for your comments...SPOT ON! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:
Thanks for sharing!
People need to relax, look to the future, and move on! Get the feeling that half these people would drown in a bucket of water!

Thanks! I just think that if everyone would slow down for one day and take a look objectively at where we are today, in comparison to where we have come from, and what have; it would be hard to comprehend that we are going to struggle.

Well said my friend! I agree and the entire Tiger Nation must pull together. Their is nothing LSU can't accomplish if the fans, administration, and everyone stick together supporting LSU Football and all sports for the common goal of being the best program. We must strive to be "One" in "Academics and Athletics".

Great post PJ. What do you think about Steve Spurrier? I have heard rumors that he was recently in BR.
Posted on 12/1/07 at 9:47 am to pjtiger
Hell yeh. LSU all the way!

Bo Pelini...I have no idea what the hell you done to our defense, but now im glad you are go and get to frick up Nebraskas peice of crap defense.
So to both of you who who couldnt finish the job at LSU :doublebird: :doublebird: :doublebird:Goodbye and Good ridens :cheers:

I just got off of the phone with two other's and his name still keeps coming up. Logic just doesn't seem to me that it would happen for all of the obvious reasons. But, and let me be quick to point out I HAVE NO WAY OF VERIFYING WHAT SOME ARE SAYING,ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, but i have to admit his name is still coming up in some what have been reliable circles through the years. Again, I am no "guru" or anything to that affect, just talking to old friends that still "run with the group", and I would say they are speculating as well. Perhaps with a little more info, but speculating nevertheless!

pj: don't get me wrong. You have every right to keep as rosy outlook as you want. I don't want to go line by line disputing individual issues with you.
I'll boil it down to this:
quote:
Don't be sad, mad, or frutrated
To me, unhappiness, anger and frustration are valid human emotions and there are times that it is appropriate to express them.
I am sad. I'm sad that we lost a chance at the National title and that IMHO our chances at the SEC title have been diminished.
I am mad. I'm mad that a coach would leave LSU. I know and accept all the stuff about "dream job" (but I'll admit that I don't know for a fact that he would not have left if say Notre Dame or Penn State called). But I'm an LSU fan, not a Michigan fan so I'm still mad he is leaving LSU.
I am frustrated. Well to be honest, any frustration ties in to the last two issues.
So, will I cheer for LSU? Hell yeah. Will I be happy when the win? Hell yeah. But I also reserve the right to be "sad, mad and frustrated".
