Our #1 problem: Fans who don't demand change

Here is the bottom line. The LSU football program cannot exist without support from fans.

Whether you think the head coach, specific players, or officiating is largely to blame for our third straight season of 3+ losses, it's time to start thinking about holding the program accountable.

But if you are a fan like the one below, who refuses to hold the program accountable for repeat failures, then look no further than the mirror.

I'm not blaming Anthony Jennings, the coaching staff, the personal foul penalty, etc.

After 2011, I was very tempted to cancel my season tickets in Section 100, which have been in my family for 15 years now, but I was talked off the ledge by a friend, who reminded me of how good it would feel to give them to my young son one day.

However, after seeing the Jordan Jefferson situation play out once again with Anthony Jennings, I have decided that I will be calling TAF during business hours tomorrow to make it known that I won't plan on renewing until there is either a new head coach, or our current one demonstrates that he is capable of properly developing AND utilizing QB's that he recruits. To me, the problem always seems to be one, the other, or both.

Maybe your reasons aren't the same as mine. Maybe you think LSU needs to make a bold call for better officiating in the SEC. If that's the case, then you better start demanding it, and withholding your dollars until it is done.

And if you don't have season tickets to give back to TAF, then maybe it's just not buying that new LSU gear, or going to whatever crappy bowl game we get into.

Whatever your issue is, and whatever your means are, if you aren't taking action to make your voice known to the powers that be, look no further than the mirror for the primary reason we have entered this new era of mediocrity.

Once the program addresses the structural issues causing this, we can return spending money that benefits the program. In my case, I can always get new season tickets to give to my son. The nostalgia of having the same exact two seats in my possession for the next 20 years won't be worth it if we aren't properly utilizing the talent we have.
