Ceiling - 10-2 with some luck
Floor - 6-6

I don't expect to compete with the Bamas of the world. We'll be solid, but I just don't expect to ever reach an elite level under O. Not unless Myles Brennan comes out slinging it like the next Peyton Manning.

If that happens Zero, Ensminger, and Alleva are shite canned after the Tech game.

We lost to Troy.

I'm thinking we have another customary hiccup game that quickly evaporates any positive vibes coming after a win against the U.

And more importantly, 0 gets canned


I tend to think we see a similar scenario as 2015, in which we have a "strong" finish to the year following our Bama loss, and all the losers begin to whine in defense of 0, and the players chant their support for Lyin' Ed. All the while, 0 pulls a pity party PR campaign a la USC. I do think he gets shitcanned after another weak start in 2019, and Aranda becomes interim. Alleva gets fired.

The unfortunate wild card is, if we get a new AD, does he try to keep Aranda?

That’s the problem.The E hire won’t put LSU in the tank to much talent, experience and the D should be lights out. This OC hire should have been on par with the DC someone who would give us an elite offense.

EO is going to keep us in the 9 win range but not have the staff to win championships. Which will make it all the more difficult to get rid of him. That’s what has pissed me off about the whole damn thing.

Great post, but what you said applies to almost any university. Win or get fired is the mentality in CFB , it's no different at LSU.

Agreed.

Also, this will be presented as a success by O and his supporters and the excuses will fly.

The "just wait until next year" talk will begin early.

Arkansas, Florida and Texas A&M will all be better. Miss State will remain strong. LSU plays Auburn on the road; Alabama will be better with Tua.

In short: LSU's schedule will be worse, their talent will be worse and their coaching will be worse.

6 wins or fewer.

Hypothetical: what if we do promote Aranda and he keeps all the same coaches? Think we’d see better results or similar?

If that happens I’ll be proud of my alma mater for being the catalyst that finally ousts Alleva and O and allows LSU to return to relevance.

Not clear on what you mean by "expectations."

We should all expect LSU to be a 10+ win team every year and be in the playoffs at least once every 4 years. If not, LSU has backtracked and was hypocritical in firing Miles.

If you mean "where do I think LSU will end up with O", I think we win 7 games next year, 5 the year after that, sort of a Mike Archer trajectory.

I have no confidence that there is anyone at LSU holding Orgeron accountable so this disaster is likely going to go on longer than what most people expect.

I also expect there will be lots of posters (some real, some not) complaining that I'm not a "true fan" and that I'm being a "child" for pointing this out, all the way down to losing seasons.

It doesn't need to go that far, but it will. We're already at a point where we should not be.
