These 2 aren't accomplishments.

A moral victory shouldn't count, nor should beating Texas A&M

Don't take away from the accomplishments. The point is to ADD to the list.

take out 2 and 3 because we knew LSU was gonna be good this year and so we knew we would stack up well against Bama. For #3 A&M's starting QB had a shoulder issue so even if they could hold with da tigahs their drive to win dissipated like a fart in the wind after the loss to bama. I would add an accomplishment in hiring Matt Canada for next year.

I believe you're using the term "accomplishment" a little too loosely..

None of those things are accomplishments.

None.

Twice broke the all time single game rushing record (in a 5 game span we had the three best single game rushing performances in LSU history set by two different backs)

Broke the all time total yardage record against an SEC opponent.

Retained Dave Aranda in a crazy coaching carousel.

Hired the best OC available.

Retained Corey Raymond.

Had two of the greatest rushing games by an individual in one season. LF 284 against Ole Miss and Guice 285 against TAMU.

Defense showed dramatic improve over previous year. Improved to #10 in total D and #5 in scoring D.

Etling finished the year at 59.5% completion rate. Big improvement over BH's average from 2015.

Coach O figured out how to recover after the Bama lost and beat Arkansas, stopping a trend of losing to fat Bert.

I have to think "Citrus Bowl championship" alone with holding Louisville without a TD at lease meets my accomplishment standards.

It's always pretty neat to leave a season on a high note. It doesn't say anything bout next season, but I am not yet arrogant enough to dismiss a bowl win.

If you're going to include firings, you have to add firing BDP to the list.

I'll remember 2016 as the season that could have been. Much like '13 I will never know how we lost multiple games with the talent we have.

I believe the following players will have long NFL careers


Beckwith
White
Adams
Jackson
Godchaux
Key
Bower

Pocic
Maea (as a guard)
Weathersby
Fournette
Guice
Dupree
Chark

Conducted one of the worst coaching searches in the history of the SEC.
