"3-4 losses/year doesn't cut it at LSU"

this post is too full of reasoning..therefore - you die.

i am confused as to how so many of you are ok with mediocredity, if you dont think you are the best, you will never be the best

That was the past. This is the future. Three losses should be worse case scenario for this football program.

Let me ask you this - are you willing to take 3 to 4 losses every year going forward and NEVER again compete for SEC and National Championships? Because if that's okay with you then it's okay to lose 3 or 4 every year. I don't think we're rewriting history, there's been a change this decade in what fans expect now that we've won two national championships in the last 6 season. We've gone several years, especially under Miles with losing just a couple games and as a result won an SEC and National title in one of those years; same with Saban. But we lost FIVE last year and those five were SEC games. We've lost 3 so far this year, all SEC games and are very banged up heading into this Arkansas game. We are 7-8 in the last two years in SEC games. That's what fans are bitching about and rightly so. History doesn't have to repeat itself when it comes to losing games. LSU has taken it to another level this decade and we want to maintain that level, not slip back to the way it used to be.

I dont think its neccessarily the records that are troubling. 3 losses isnt that bad for most any team... But its the way the team plays and narrowly escapes alot of games. Theyre arent that disciplined. Key positions dont seem to improve. Many questionable coaching decisions...etc

This is probably my biggest problem - and I'm on the Miles bandwagon.

I agree that 3 losses in the SEC is a pretty decent season. With the talent and money, LSU should be a mixture of 1-4 losses in a season with an SECW title every 2-3 years and an SEC championship every 3-5 ... at a minimum.

Even if the team finishes 10-3, this season has been very mediocre with some favorable final scores.

This really stems from having an inept offense however. It's hard to dominate with that.

...even ONE loss a year is unacceptable!

..Coaches should get only ONE YEAR CONTRACTS.. U Lose, Ur OUT!

..YEAH!...Thats what I say! Yeah!

..we don' cotton up to no losin' 'round heah! :jump1:

Of course the fans want to keep dominating in the SEC, but, the fans don't run the program.

All I'm saying is that, traditionally for the LSU powers that be, 3 loss seasons on a consistent basis has never been a big problem.
3 loss seasons have been consistently acceptable in the past.

I think people forgot that LSU football went from 1958 to 2003 without a NC. There's your PROOF that the LSU powers that be have accepted mediocrity in the past.

My guess is that they accept mediocrity now.

5-3 in the SEC is a solid campaign

That era also didn't have TAF, top facilities, and anywhere close to the type of money that has been put into the LSU program. The "LSU powers" helped build LSU into a top 5 program and I highly doubt they will accept mediocrity now just because we did in a different era of college football.
