re: Most overpaid/ underperforming coaches in College...

No but we are 0-4 against the class of our division in the last 3 years.

Guess one of those losses was so painful that the NCAA decided to vacate the win.

cherry picking stats

You're right I should break out our W-L record against rent a wins. Maybe we should create a National Championship playoff for teams with overpaid coaching staffs playing against rent a wins.

Proviso is you have to throw the conference W-L record out of consideration.

I'm not great at math but 1-9-12 was three years ago. If it makes you feel better we can say we are 3-6 against the class of our division since Saban got there. Of course one of those wins came in a year when neither of us were in contention (2010). Or 1-4 in the last four seasons. It really doesn't matter how you slice it up we are being owned by one team in our division.

And as of late we also picking up at least one loss per year to a team outside the top 25.

So is the rest of the Division, Conference, and Country. Is the sole measure of our season how we perform against Alabama?

We don't play in the Big 10. We play in the SEC and pay SEC money. So our measure of success should be what we do in the SEC.

We have not been year in and year out competitive against the best team in our division for the last 5 years

I'm sorry but this is bullshite. We may not have won much but we're the only team in the conference that annually goes toe-to-to with them.

Does LSU play Defense and Special Teams too?

How have we done with this "offense only" ranking system in the past?

I love miserable fans, BTW.

You're not allowed to post stuff like this here.

1. Miles is the winnigest coach in LSU history.

2. Best OOC record in coaching.

3. Can't compare vs Bama bc they're just too good,
fans expectations are unrealistic.

4. We're young, just like 2012-2013.

5. Who do you want to hire if you don't like our current coaching staff?

6. No one we can hire would beat Bama.

7. But we really kept it close vs Bama in 2012/2014.

8. This is the golden age of LSU football do you remember the 90's ?

9. Just wait until next year

Even though it's dripping with sarcasm, those are all the legit points of optimism.

It isn't that people can't/shouldn't post negative or critical things, it's the level of logic that's often crap.

I don't see many people trashing legit criticism of the QB development situation (current or historical), but to assume Miles picks the worse QB of the two he sees every day in practice is dumb.

Also, name me a coach and staff that could come in and do a better overall job vs Saban and Bama (besides maybe Saban).

Should we lose to Arky? No
Should we lose to any school with Miss in the name? Probably not
