re: LSU played 4 SEC teams this year that fired their coach

Nice edit dipshit....

Didn't Alabama play them as well? What's your point?

OMG!!!!
Really!!!

How did that happen?
WOW!!
That is astounding news.
Thanks to the op for telling us.
You sir (or madam) are special.

Les Miles had his shot at these same coaches & he couldn’t get it done.

Couldn't get WHAT done?

Miles' LSU teams were 8-3 against this set of coaches.

Miles V Sumlin: 4-0
Miles V Freese: 2-1
Miles V McElwain: 1-0
Miles V Bielema: 1-2
Miles V Jones: 0-0

Which would mean that if this is true...

The notion that coaches are fired after 1 bad year & not the culmination of several bad years is laughable.

then is seems like that guy LSU fans like to rip on MAY HAVE had something to do with these guys getting canned, right? Miles straight up owned A&M even while Manziel was there running rampant across the SEC. With the exception of Bielama's Arky squad which played LSU tough and Jones who he did not get to face, Miles beat all these guys.

The point the OP was making is true. It just depends on what you want to take away from it. Does the fact that LSU was lucky enough to face this many teams in chaos and beat them mean that Orgeron's wins are bad? Not necessarily. You can only play the schedule, team, players and coaches on your slate.

But can you automatically pat him on the back, give him a raise, an extension and a long loving blowjob because they didn't tank after getting fricking throttled by State and losing to Troy based on the overall record alone...when you know it was at least partially buoyed by playing a historically bad run of SEC teams? Also...probably not.

Anyone taking a hard-line stance on either side of that point is just not being intellectually honest with themselves. Anything less or more than cautiously optimistic seems like a bad take I think.

FWIW, my feelings about this project of ours have never wavered. Ultimately I'm afraid it's going to fail, but I was as surprised as everyone else that things looked so bad so fast early. The fact that they turned things around is great, but ultimately does little to change what I worry about for the program, which is a fall off after Orgeron has to start replacing Canada and Arranda. But that's another subject that's been hashed to death as well...

There were never as many SEC teams (on our schedule) doing so bad at the same time during Miles tenure as there were this year. As somebody already said you can't really conclude much about Orgeron from his final 2017 record. He got a great win against Auburn but Troy...

And the real question is did we get the improvement we were looking for by making the coaching change? Not so far.

Lol bullshite

Les Miles isn’t gone because he couldn’t beat bama. It was because he couldn’t beat the teams he was supposed to

At least LSU won all those games.

They don’t realize that stuff like this gets us laughed at across the country

I actually travel all around this country, and I assure you LSU is well respected in football. No one is laughing at LSU besides a few LSU fans,

Thank goodness we didn't play Vandy and Kentucky instead of Florida and Tennessee. Then we would have only played 2.

It's awful and for this reason alone, no SEC school should be considered for the playoff! Dumbass!
