i figure he should do well for another 3 years with the current team and incoming recruits. if he slips in four or five, then you are getting close to the end of the contract.
Not an attack on this post, but what is meant by "if he slips"? Like, slips like UF this year? Slips like Bama this year? Or epic slips like TX this year?

My point...EVERY program has "down" years. At what point is a "down" year understandable to the fan base in general here?

I'm one of those weirdos that understood that the removal of the cancer in spring 2008 was gonna leave LSU in a tough position for a couple of years. I also think it would have been wise to have more than a couple of freshman and a Harvard transfer ready if needed. But Urban Meyer had no doubt that Tebow was gone after last season, and he had nobody qualified to replace him. And before you say Cam, Cam was a cancer that Meyer should've removed himself. Instead, he waited until he saw the success Cam was having at AU to start leaking about his cheating at UF.
Mack Brown had 5 years to replace McCoy, but didn't have anyone ready.

IMO, LSU 2008 was no worse than UF or TX this season...and MUCH better than TX, in fact. Everyone has a down year or two. Miles has recovered with an 11-2 season, in the best conference, in a LOADED division. 5 of the 6 in the top 15, IIRC. The guy's good...no matter how weird/quirky he is. NOBODY is without flaw.
