re: I hate saying a bowl win gives us 10 wins. 10 REGULAR SEASON wins is the bar at LSU.

We recruit in the top 10, we pay our staff in the top 10, we should be in the top 10, which, at the end of the year, means 10 regular season wins. If you think that's unfair considering our in-state talent and football budget, then I think that is a loser mentality.

10 regular season wins has never been the standard here.

Seasons less than 10 regular season wins:
Saban 3/5
Miles 5/11 (not counting the year he got fired, if you do count it it’s 6/12)
O 3/5

Even if you just set the standard at this century, we still have less than 10 regular season wins roughly 50% of the time. The bar is 9 wins. Less and you’re on the hot seat. Hit 9 you get another year, more than 9 you’re good.
