“Rebuild” at LSU doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing it means at Arkansas. O absolutely torched many aspects of this program, but I can promise you all but 10-15 teams in the country would kill for the roster LSU has going into next season. Especially considering the transfer portal, there is a very good chance we are able to fill some of our holes and dominate teams with lesser talent en route to 8-9 wins in year one, possibly even 10 if things break right. Where the rebuild aspect comes in is although we have the talent to beat 95% of cfb teams, we don’t have the collection of top end talent or depth to compete with Alabama, georgia, Ohio state, etc. THAT is what will take 2-3 years to get back to. See Michigan state this year for an example. 11-2, ny6 win, but 56-7 loss to tOSU. People saying we should get ready for another 6-6 season are underselling the talent on the roster and the upgrade in coaching, just don’t expect a win over Alabama.

This.
Last year we easily could have finished 9 wins and 3 losses. With a depleated roster. We had no direction and played young men most of the year. I am optimistic in thinking we will be much better coached in all phases of the game this upcoming year. We will need a couple of years to get back to the upper level, but I don't think we'll be as bad as a lot of you seem to believe.

39 scholarship players in the bowl.

This is an absolute rebuild from the ground up. Orgeron left the culture rotten and program in shambles.

Saban went 6-6 in his first season. I know there wasn't a portal, but his roster was better than this. He had to change the culture, that doesn't happen in one year.

Why? Alabama is living on it's history. They didn't play this year with any sense of dominance and certainty of victory. Hell, we came within a shadow of beating them with a coach that got out of an empty car at the game.
