re: LSU Football: How many losses will you tolerate this year?

Has anybody ever lost enough to warrant being fired? Anyone? Anywhere? In any sport? Ever?

If so, could you name him/her?

Sure, Hallman had to go as well as Archer. Straight up wins and losses although there were other reasons that never saw daylight, just like the case of Deitzel. Dinardo had to go because he had lost control of the team and his own staff. A very weird meltdown there. Never understood how the guy could completely lose it after just a bit of adversity. Maybe he was one of those who could not handle tough spots.
Brady also had alienated everyone connected with LSU. He was a jackass. That said, had Tasmin Mitchell not been out for the year last year. LSU would have probably won 6-8 more games. When he had talent and the team was healthy, good seasons happened. Too bad he could not grow up and get that chip off of his shoulder.
But, as to straight wins and losses it would come down to Archer, Hallman, and Tinsley in football
Maravich in basketball and Jack Lamabe and Smoke Laval in baseball.

Any more than 3 losses, and there's a major problem. There's absolutely no excuse for this football program, at this point in its history, to lose nine games in two years. Even after inheriting a losing team, in no two year stretch did Saban ever lose nine games.

ETA: That said, given the new defensive coaching staff, a more stable QB situation and another year's experience for these players, I just don't see how we don't win 10 regular season games, and either the SECCG or Bowl game, which would give us 11 wins in 14 games. And we will not lose to Ole Miss or Arkansas again- book it.

Carlos, how many losses will you and the other Bama fans tolerate this year?
