yeah but you could see some positive trends, mainly the arrival of a true Saban defense. Even though we were banged up on defense by end of season, you could see the defense developing and keeping us in games. Except for Auburn (MR turnovers) and bama (just got our arse beat), we played well enough to come within one play of SEC CG.
Didn't see any positive trends on this team despite being more talented, especially on offense.

I really don't think LSU would have played as shitty if they held on against Bama.

Well I blame alot of it on the offense being screwed at qb and the defenses problems are because Miles made a mistake and promoted these two nimrods to DC's.
It is obvious the team has no confidence right now, so the mistakes are going to happen more frequently.
I am willing to give the guy with the funny looking white hat another season to make some changes.
He has put up some pretty good numbers since arriving, especially in bowl games, so I think he deserves one more year before the LSU redneck fan base rips him to pieces.

Excellent analysis. In addition to your well reasoned reply, Saban was still building in 2002 (yup, and he had already won an SECCG). When he took over in 2000, this team was one of the lesser teams in the SEC talent wise...about equal to MSU (who we lost to the year prior) and UK. In 2001, Saban brought in one of the most talented hauls in probably 10 years. In 2004 Saban hauled in the most talented team in LSU history...and handed it to Les.
In '02 Saban was still trying to transition his D from the shitty read and react you see from todays ultra talented LSU team to the attacking style of D seen in the following years NC team.

Neither did any other educated, rational fan.

How about Brandon LaFell's emergence as a force in the receiving game?
Or Terrance Toliver coming on strong even with the extremely limited playing time he's getting?
Maybe the impact of true freshmen Patrick Petersen and Jordan Jefferson? The two biggest weaknesses of the team are at quarterback and pass defense, but despite the struggles, Petersen and Jefferson have shined -- perhaps we'll see them push for the starting job in training camp?
