You make very good points, but surely you can understand the frustration with lost opportunities fans have had these past two years.
It's not a matter of whether or not the team is good or bad; it's a relative matter, what could have been with what is.

Expectations can and should be high, but they also have to be realistic. LSU, and any great football program, will have runs of excellence interspersed with periods of pretty good success. LSU had a great run from 03-07, the kind of run that FL and AL are on now.
The reason no one picked LSU to compete for championship this year or last is because of inexperience at quarterback. That view turned out to be basically correct. "What could have been" according to most everyone who ventured to say is, in fact, "what is."
You can't have all of the pieces in place every single year. That doesn't happen anywhere. Look at Bryant, Bowden, and Paterno, the most successful college football coaches of all time. All three experienced mediocre seasons (5-7 losses) in amongst undefeated seasons and national championships.
In college football your best players leave the team after every year. Coordinators at top programs leave to be head coaches. New talent has to be recruited and hired. Every year the team is different. Results will vary. Miles usually finds good people and sheds his mistakes quickly.
Sure, I wish Miles would appoint a clock czar and I hope we all look at Crowton differently once he has an experienced Jefferson who can execute his plays. The big picture, though, is that this program is hitting its marks.
