What hapened at Texas and this period at LSU is scary to me. Very similar.

No, you "Fire Les" people kill me. Who would you get to replace him right now? Realistically. We as a fan base need to realize that what Saban is doing at Bama happens once in a generation, it just sucks that Bama got two coaches that had this level of success. LSU is a very successful program. We did get to the NC game not that long ago with our current head coach, even though he shite the bed, it was still an undefeated season with wins over a National Champion, Orange Bowl Champion and Rose Bowl Champion. Name another coach that has done that. I'll hang up and listen.

Zook wins "only" 8 games, unrealistic fans, Meyer hired, 2 BCS titles, yeah, THAT DID WORK!!! Examples go both ways. Change is a 50/50 proposition at times. Most that want Miles to stay want it out of fear of what might or might not come next. Fear is paralyzing!! And that us where we are at right now. We have some that are paralyzed with fear to make any change, some that are apathetic from here on out, and some who support Miles over the cliff. Overall, that is a bad place for a Major program to be. Is this what the Texas fan base is going through right now??? Or the TN fan base went through with Fulmer?? The problem is is that our hands are tied with this man regardless of if a change is needed or not. Can't do a damn thing about it. 3 straight losing seasons and he would still have 4 years left to buy out. What a predicament!!

This was my point. We are witnessing the outcome of holding on to a tenured coach, that is smothering two storied programs. This is my concern the signs from the past season point in that direction. If Les can't change the perception that is the path LSU will be on. He is already losing some top talent, if we lose to Bama and aTm I'm concerned we will lose more of the in state talent.

We look slow as well as getting pushed around.

As for the original question of the thread there is reason to be somewhat alarmed.

Next season we won't have Landry, Beckwith, Mett, Hill. Next season we'll need defense and there doesn't appear to be reason for optimism that the D will be better.

Meanwhile Ole Miss and Auburn will be improved.

Les better bring in a great class.

Who the hell cares about 2011 or 2012. This whole society is based on now. Recruits base decisions on now and where their best chance at improving and winning championships. The perception is LSU is taking steps back while other rivals are trending up. The team we are fielding now on defense is not as talented as Mizzou or hell Ole Miss.

According to you, recruits do. also, all of the sabanists who adore his titles , and constantly cry about 1/9.
