Don't forget LSU is 7-7 over the last 14 SEC games with a great chance of going below the .500 mark this weekend. If you like that trend then more power to you.
LSU is 4-2 in the SEC this year. So much for your trend.
Look, 2008 was a bad year. It started bad when Pelini left and Miles made a mistake in promoting from within. Then Perrilloux. Then Pick Six. Bad defense and mistake prone offense lead to a bad year. And a bad year still was 8-5 with a blowout bowl win. Of the 7 losses you cite, only one was an unmitigated disaster. Our 31-30 loss to the Hogs in Arkansas last year. The Ole Miss loss was disappointing but it was Jefferson's first SEC game. The other 5 losses all came against teams who won 10+ games. This isn't an excuse but it should give you some perspective. We lost to really good football teams in a year in which we were down. And this year, we lost to in my view the best two teams in the country and were in a great position to win one of them.
We have a cupboard full of sick talent and an experienced QB coming back for the first time in 4 years. The fanbase needs to relax and have a little patience. The next two seasons should be awesome.

Well said and I see your point. I really just do not believe that Miles is that good of a coach, but you admittedly do bring in some good points.
I suppose, throwing the Zook comparison to the side for a second, that in trying to compare the state of LSUs program right now with other "elite" programs such as Bama, Florida and even USC, who is admittedly down this year, I just feel that with all other things being equal such as personnel, that our coaching staff does not compare to Bama's or Florida's or USCs. Furthermore, I have no reason to believe that will change anytime soon.
I guess to illustrate my point, I believe if you take the staff from any of the aforementioned schools and place them at LSU right now, LSU instantly becomes a better team by way of better coaching. This is a big concern to me.
