re: Question about the direction of Tiger football

To appreciate what Les has accomplished, one simply needs to look at next year's roster. Allow me to elaborate.

O - Line Chris Faulk, Lael Collins, Elliot Porter, Trai Turner, Vadal Alexander

TE - Nic Jacobs, Desean Smith

WR - Odel Beckham, Jarvis Landry, Kadron Boone

RB - Jeremy Hill, Alfred Blue, Kenny Hilliary (assuming Spencer Ware goes pro)

QB - Zach Mettenberger

Not Impressed???

D - Line Jamauria Rasco, Anthony Johson, Ego Ferguson, Danielle Hunter

LB - Kwon Alexander, Lamin Barrow, Tahj Jones(?), Lamar Louis, Ronnie Feist (assuming Kevin Minter goes pro)

DB's Jalen Mills, Jalen Collins, Ronnie Martin, Craig Loston (assuming Eric Reid & Tharold Simon go pro) with several others contributing including Micah Eugene

Still not impressed?

Another top 5 recruiting class for 2013 &
potentially a 10-2 record for 2012 as well as another top 5 finish

Not to mention Les's over 81% win/loss percentage, 1 NC W, 1 NC L, 3 SEC Championship Appearances 2 W 1 L -

These are the Golden Days of LSU Football. Anyone who criticizes Les's record or insists he be run out of town, hasn't lived through the 1980's & 1990's. Do a little history of LSU football.

My guess is we finish at 10-2, play in a non-BCS bowl, win that & end up in the final top 5 for 2012.

We start in the top 5 preseason rankings again for 2013.

I'm sure you expect an SEC Championship & NC every year. Most of us are more realistic. I hope Les finishes out his career at LSU. If he does he will enter the LSU Football History books as the "Greatest Coach in LSU History"!

So yes, this is what I want in coach.
