Which one is the outlier? 2011 or 2007?
2007 was a serious outlier in the result it achieved, but it was a typical Les season. Two losses and tough games versus significantly less talented teams with one extremely strong OOC game.
2011 was the true outlier and I honestly think we only had the success we did in 2011 because Les' hand was forced on several aspects for most of the season until he decided to force his hand at the end.

Well, it's objectively true that we lost a lot on defense. Do you think that Chavis somehow lost his ability to coach a defense, or do you think that maybe the easier answer is that we are pretty young there now?
Yes, LSU lost a lot of talent, but is LSU's 2-deep worse than Ole Miss' 3-deep? Team's with significantly less talent seem to perform at the same level as LSU.
Further, if Les is such a great recruiter as many claim, LSU shouldn't be in such dire straights because of early entries. If anything, Les' failure in 2012 recruiting is what cost this team on the defensive side and has proven that Chavis' defense is only great when it has studs and Ron Cooper as a DB coach.

That is honestly one of the strangest arguments I've ever heard. So the entirety of the year was Les doing things he didn't want to do, except the game that we lost? How can any sane person justify that point? He gets no credit for the exceptional season, but gets blame for the one loss? Are you that stupid?

Well, he obviously is, or else such an "idiot" coach wouldn't win very much, right?

Wait, were you expecting redshirt freshmen and true sophomores to be SEC elite? That seems naive.

Well, yea. Studs make for a great defense. How many of the elite defenses at Tennessee did Chavis have Cooper with? Or, again, maybe you could point to the fact that our defense is young as hell...
