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.

The delta cockroach has crawled back from self-imposed hiding after LSU beat Auburn. Guess it was just a matter of time. All we needed was just one loss or weak performance to crawl out in the open when his baseless musings posed as fact were thrown back out again. Of course he is not alone as there are a few of his buddies on here who join him in attempts to lure others to their miserable mindset that must undoubtedly be a joy to be around.

It is simple to see through this. Consider the phrases by which he commits his positive vibe to e-posterity: "I really just do not believe..."; "I suppose..."; "I just feel...does not compare";
"I have no reason to believe..."; and, the creme de la creme of his wisdom: "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." We get it...you feel like crap and want others to commiserate with you.
