Don't forget the 2013 famous bridge schedule that suddenly has a trip to Ga. taken off the Bama schedule and Kent. added to their schedule.

Who gets to take Bama's place on the Ga. schedule,....LSU.

It's not only who you play, but it's also who you don't have to play.

As to KS, any coach good enough to hired 2 times by Nick, I am willing to see what he brings to the table before I break out my cliff jumping gear.

All this stuff about bridge schedules, having to play Florida every year, LSU taking Bama's place on Georgia's schedule, PP7 was inbounds, this or that was a bullshite call - it's all what losers say to explain their losing. Bama has simply been better. Any fool can see that.

If you listen to Ole Miss or Miss State fans talk about LSU over the years you'll hear the same litany of referrees cheating, clocks running (or not running),etc.

I'm not saying some of this isn't legit, it's just very unbecoming and a little embarrassing.

It's not only who you play, but it's also who you don't have to play.

Any fan base in the country, in any conference, faced with anything like the above...would legitimately go nuts. And deservedly so.

As LSU fans, all we want is a level playing field. Too often, there hasn't been one.

Has that been the only problem with LSU football specifically and LSU sports in general? No. But it has been and probably will continue to be.

Because some people in this conference would rather walk a mile to lie, cheat, and steal than stand still and do the right and honorable thing.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

This is naive. He was only hired as a DC once and was demoted after one year by Saban.

Is he a solid recruiter? Yes, very much so.

Is he a very good position coach? Yes.

Does that make him a legit DC? Not at all. Steele may turn out to be a good hire, but history has proven otherwise, and it's not even close.

He was worse at Clemson than his predecessor every year basically, and then the guy who took over for him built them up in 3 years to the #1 defense in the country. People want to blame the game against WVU, but even without that game they are:

61st in scoring defense
60th in total defense

People want to blame that game as some kind of outlier, but his defense stunk and given his supposed great recruiting acumen, how was lack of talent in his 3rd year and excuse?

In the end, the guy has had numerous issues everywhere he's been:

Failed as a HC miserably
Demoted as a DC under Saban after only 1 season
Fired after 3 years as a DC in Clemson after producing their first non-top 20 defense in 6 seasons, and non-top 30 defense in 8 years.

Think about that for a bit.

Now, this doesn't mean he'll be a failure at LSU at all, but much like Crowton's history, the guy looks to have a decent to good first year or two and then the wheels fall off.

I hope it happens differently, but lots of people are revising history to try and make this look like a great hire, when history shows it likely will not be even a decent one. Remember, this is a guy that passed out at games from anxiety and now he's in the pressure cooker of LSU football as DC.
