Stars must align for LSU to compete now

for National Championship. With no change in offensive philosophy and same QB situation next year, fans must now hope that NFL draft does not gut team again. This coaching staff in its present state cannot figure out how to evolve or coach up players on current roster. It now seems that chance and luck are required in order to be special. LSU is going to lose players again to the draft and a lot of people will be crying about it and making excuses for the coach, but its on him to have the foresight and ability to win with the players that are there. In order to do this, you need to hit the reset button every year to adjust and make changes that will improve your team. It sounds simple but Les likes simple.

The only spot LSU needs to sure up is decision making and improvement in the passing game. The rest is in place for a run. Again, look at the top finishers in the SEC and tell me the class of their qbs. They are mostly in their 3rd, 4th, and 5th years in their programs.

You have finally reached the stage of acceptance.

Yep.
The sec has gotten better. Miles has stayed the same.
To win the west you need to have AT MOST 1 sec loss a year.
Miles can't do that.

Agreed, stars must align as will always be the case in this league but we're right on the cusp.
Heck, we could have easily beaten Bama and MSU this year, which would have changed our performance against Arkansas. We'd be in it. So close but yes, stars must align.

Easily? LSU lost bad to Miss St and the score was closer than the game was. Alabama won because LSU cant close a game of that magnitude right now with this staff.

The stars have to align for any team to make it to the championship. Bama has had good karma, but they could easy have had 3 loses this season. LSU is close, and with a little experience and couple of breaks going their way, they will be right back in the hunt for championships

Miles has a want to "compete". To Play "quality opponents". To Play in "big games"...But he doesn't have the drive to dominate opponents ...to do what is necessary (hard work) to win championships. He just doesn't have the killer instinct anymore. He's perfectly happy with 10-3.
We won't win another sec championship until he's gone.

Yep. 'Easily' was the wrong word. Let's go with 'could have possibly'

Sad prediction... can't argue with you or disagree with your logic.

Except for the time he did, right?
Not to mention Bama would have won the West this year even with two losses. But no, let's never let facts get in the way of a good CptDerp post.

Could be said of any NC run in such a competitive environment, but I agree that it's especially true now. Makes some of the earlier near-misses (05, 06, 11, 12) that much more disappointing. It simply won't get any easier with a coach/program poised for an historic dynasty run right in the division. That's to say nothing of the improvements of the other programs.
I honestly think we're done being perennial contenders for titles of any kind with things as they stand. It sucks, but I'm in the process of re-calibrating my expectations to look forward to "solid" years. This was such a year considering the totality of young players in the scheme. Next year, 10-2 will be a "solid" year, with O-line losses. Every year there will be a reason why "this just isn't the year".

Right now, this is not a championship roster. Where are the playmakers, the difference makers? On defense, I see a lot of good players, but no difference makers...yet. We don't get enough pressure on the QB, much less sacks. We don't force enough turnovers.
On special teams, we cannot do better for retuners on kickoffs than RBs with no chance of TD returns. When was the last time LSU ever blocked a punt? Why not go for the block, If White isn't going to catch most punts anyway?
On offense, I think we have some future difference makers, but the scheme doesn't allow them to show it yet.
We need some difference makers and go to guys.

Honestly, can you picture Les trying to coach Auburn offense? Or Alabama for that matter. I just don't think he has the smarts for it. Everybody wants to call him stubborn though.

We should just hire you to take over.

It is sad but so true, most Tiger fans have become so complacent with looking forward to next year and what will the excuse be after next year, "Well the offensive line is so young with all the defections.", the year after that it will be the loss of playmakers, the year after that , it will be we lost too many on defense. Unfortunatel, we live in the world of "Hey 3 or 4 losses a year isn't bad, You want to go back to the Archer, Hallman, Dinarodo years, Do you remember what it was like?" Yes sir my Tiger friends complacency has set in.
