The LSU fighting tiger football team has not looked like a championship quality football team since 2011. And has fallen out of grace after losing to Alabama in the 2012 BCS National Championship football game, in the New Orleans Super Dome.

Les Miles coaching deficiency became magnified all across that nationally televised contests. Alabama 21 to LSU 0. And LSU has been playing football just like a college football team who cannot recruit, or coach, with the rest of the best college football teams in America, like Alabama for instance.

Now LSU will need to prove to me that what I have been seeing since then is not the real reflective of the LSU football program's coaching, or recruiting ability. Because if not I simply do not believe what Les Miles keeps saying about the LSU football program anymore.

Les Miles quotes:
1
When I wake up in the morning and I turn that film on, it's like reading a book and it's exciting. I don't read books, but if I read books it would be like reading a book.
---------
4
Louisiana has a heritage of great players that play their high school football within the boundaries of Louisiana.
---------
Please help me to stop hoping that the LSU football team wins the SEC again coached by Les Miles because I really don't think that reality in 2016 is very likely at all.
Knowing what we know about Les Miles Coaching ability now.

Yeah, we can stop talking about Miles in relation to this team. Pretty much everything has changed, and for the better. We still haven't really seen the offense, but I don't have to to know it's going to be improved. The defense was sick last year, and even though we lost some great guys, how many times in the last 17 years has a LSU defense been anything worse than 'good'? LSU doesn't have to have a world beater at QB to win it all. (see 2003, 2007) Remember Miles' lapses is getting plays called and poor time management? That stopped happening after he left last year and O slid into his spot. LSU has a Heisman quality running back again. However, Tiger fans who know realize that there is a kid starting at linebacker for the first time this coming season who may be just as much of a difference maker on the other side of the ball (Devin White). Talented wide receivers who *GASP* for the first time in ages will be cut loose. I'm trying to say that 2017 will look like the Tiger teams we have loved in the past on defense with an offense we have been dying to see since Crowton left. I'm pumped. Les who?
