Why are the standards now being lowered?

---

I think people's expectations were waaaay out of whack before the season and seeing the issues we have at both lines of scrimmage I think has brought the expectations of many back to reality.

And for others I think they are big O fans who touted his hire from the mountain tops and will rationalize all they can to put a good light on him and blame Les solely for the O and D-line issues. And it helps in that agenda to lower the standards.

Again any idiot can win 10 games a year at LSU in the SEC west. Piece a cake.

Remind me again who had lasted 12 years in this league and won more? I keep forgetting.

I was talking about Les' decline over the last 3+ years. That's why he was fired. Yes, he had a lot of success prior to that. But 15-11 in the SEC, 10-10 against the West, all with elite recruiting over the last 3+ years, is what doomed Les.

Not a whole lot to dispute there.

needs "a quick infusion" for the team to be successful next year and ???

seems like acute awareness and not lowered expectations.

keep your narratives people.

O's statement at the end of last season was, "but next season, things are going to be different. We’re going to be in it (College Football Playoff).’”
So who's changing the narrative?

What he says has nothing to do with why Miles was fired Stay on point.

I'm not lowering standards, but understanding reality. I'm not going to let it bend me out of shape. Our O-line isn't good. Our D-line will be fine next year. We have a young QB for the future. I want to see these kids compete and grind out some wins. If we're in the Indy Bowl I'll be there!!!!!!!

Im not pumping Miles. Im responding to alttiger that took it upon himself to diss Miles. Let me refresh your ignorant memory, Dogfan.

10 wins don't mean much when they're padded with cupcakes and shitty bowl wins. The SEC, particularly the West, is what really matters. And the "last guy" was 15-11 in the SEC, 10-10 against the West, his last 3+ years. All with elite recruiting.

10 wins dont mean much? Ok have it your way.
padded with cupcakes? The SEC west was never stronger than it was when Les was at the helm. its a cakewalk today vs the last 8-9 yrs.
Meaningless bowls? Like the one Ed took us to last yr because he lost as a 14 point favorite at HOME and will again take us to another meaningless bowl this year.

10-10 against the west with elite recruiting? but no QB who couldve went 10-10 with Jennings and Harris?

Some of you should look around the SEC and look at some of the records these other teams have had in the last 10 years. Especially when they had poor QB play.

Its not about the previous coach, its about why dont we expect the new coach to win more than the last coach who was fired for not winning the west more often?
Miles made his own bed with keeping Cam and staying with Harris at QB. No one can argue very hard that a change wasnt needed. But to lower the expectations after the change is beyond ignorant.

When will you guys get this? You dont need to defend O or attack others for bringing up the previous coach because in order to answer the question of why are the expectations lower you have to bring up the previous coach's resume and compare the 2.


Why some of you do not understand the only reason you would replace someone is to upgrade the results is mind-boggling to me. Period.
You guys act like the new coach took over Kentucky or Ole Miss.
He himself said he expects this year's team to reach the playoffs and to put a fence around the state in recruiting. Why in the hell wouldnt we expect what he expects?
