re: Reality Check: LSU has never been an elite SEC program

pdxlsufan I agree. We definitely don't have the coach to stay at the level of Bama. We likely will never compete with Saban and most top SEC teams going forward as long as Miles is our coach. We had a short run for about 6 or 7 years that were as good as anybody elses SEC run give or take a couple of other 7 year periods. Since Miles has been here we have witnessed a decline. We did not really have any business hiring him if we planned to stay competitive. 100% agreement. We will be a 2nd tier team as long as Miles is here. With the right coach and a good hire we can have another 6 or 7 year run like we just had. Pxlsu if we do you can knock our history as much as you want as long as we are winning championships in that time I don't care. LSU has never been elite and never will be till we hire an elite coach. Meyer (pre-meltdown) Saban, Spurrier (Florida days) etc. are elite coaches Miles is not.
