Now I see why education is bad these days. Too many easy graders.

I'd call it a solid D. A .500 SEC record is not mediocrity at LSU, it's a bad season. Had LSU not beaten A&M, I would have given it an F. The young players excuse is just an excuse. Bama reloads and keeps moving every year. But they're Bama and that's their history, so we should just except we be as good or better than Bama, right?

And while the poster made some good points about the emergence of some young players, the athleticism of Dupre and Quinn is irrelevant when the QB is a 48 percent passer. Furthermore, the defense got better immediately after it finally sunk in to bench Welter and let Beckwith and Adams play a lot. That only took half a season, which is a coaching issue (and I'm willing to blame Chavis if he was actually responsible for those personnel calls instead of Miles).

But hey, let's keep giving out Cs to .500 records in the SEC and keep accepting and rewarding mediocrity or worse (and this year was worse than mediocrity). Miles and Alleva are grateful for your support. Miles is only making $4.25 million and will get a bonus for whatever shitty bowl LSU attends. Maybe we should give him a raise so he can do better.

My first hard-line point of view was this. But I looked at the improved (mostly) defense and decided this was more of a plus than I'd first considered.

But apart from Fournette, I'd give most of the offense (other than our RBs) a D, and that is charitable.

Sad to say, I appreciate his effort, but his results would earn AJ a big (and overly generous) D- but at least last night he looked better than usual on his feet. Passing still leaves much to be desired and makes it hard to fairly evaluate receivers and tight ends. Little consistent improvement over the season. Maybe that's really not his fault, but the coaching.

Oh and as I have said along these threads repeatedly all season, I am no fan of LSU mediocrity. And definitely do not appreciate the hang on for dear life at the end of the game and hope the clock runs out before they do kind of coaching our team gets from CLM.
