Beginning of End or New Lease On Life

Miles is coming off of an 8-5 season. During the offseason, LSU has lost the Chief...and replaced him with Steele (arguably a downgrade). It has added Coach O, unquestionably an upgrade.
LSU has lost Bain, Valentine and LMFAO. Three players expected to contribute at the thinnest position on the roster, excluding QB.
LSU has arguably the most dynamic player in the conference in LF7. It has a budding All American in Jamal Adams. LSU has maybe the best receiving corp in the SEC.
LSU has potential at QB in Harris, but not enough separation to name him starter...even though Jennings has been arrested and suspended.
The SECw is the toughest it has ever been, perhaps.
LSU and Miles are unquestionably at a cross roads. Go 8-5 again, or worse, and claims of being elite are done.
Go 10-2 and win a major bowl...things could be headed towards elite status headed into 2016.
What is the more likely outcome and why?

Heisman candidate RB, #1 recruiting class coming in. Future = bright.

All good Doc, enjoy the season

Double digit wins, we will be ok. Still tons of talent, above average QB play and we are in the thick of things.

New lease on life. It's the beginning of the season now this may change come middle of November 
Posted on 8/3/15 at 8:33 pm to DeltaDoc
Or the realization that the last three years have been the middle of the end that began in January 2012.

We've got a tough schedule in the most difficult division of football. 9 wins and no hideous blowouts (see Auburn 2014) is a successful season imo.
Posted on 8/3/15 at 8:37 pm to DeltaDoc
We're going to the ship with the 2014 class at some point.
Posted on 8/3/15 at 8:39 pm to DeltaDoc
I'm cautiously optimistic. But we have a tough schedule, and some of our problems are systemic.
Posted on 8/3/15 at 8:53 pm to DeltaDoc
Why can't people just be excited because a new season is here? I guess some just look for BS to worry about.
Posted on 8/3/15 at 8:56 pm to DeltaDoc
We're playing 15 this year.

I've come to the conclusion that in no way, shape or form is Steele a downgrade from Chavis. John Chavis cost LSU many wins because of his approach and he was a lazy recruiter. We will be fine.

Steele is the x-factor, it was an underwhelming hire. The D staff otherwise is strong, so it may turn out ok, or he could be to Les what Tepper was to Dinardo.
I personally think the offense will be good this year. Fournette is a generational type player and all indications are the staff is going to take some of the complexity out of the offense.

This is a bit dramatic.

Two of these never played a down at LSU....the other never played significant minutes. Yet we LOST them...sky is falling. LMFAO (not talking about the player lmfao).
When I saw who started this thread, I clicked on it to see how stupid it might be....I wasn't disappointed.

Chavis was a cancer and 3rd Chavis cost us more than once. Chavis also cost Tennesse multiple games throughout his career there. So even though Steele is a question mark, it is better than a known cancer. Coach O is also bringing the energy back to the defense that it hasn't had since TM7 was booted from the team.

That does sting, but if a player doesn't want to be here or is a troublemaker it is better they aren't here. Attitude and/or off the field distractions destroying a lockerroom is the last thing you want in a year like this.

Serious question, how the f**k is Miles suppose to name Harris the starter before camp begins? He is not suppose to have any contact with the players other than disciplinary actions, so how would he expect to name Harris the starter? Don't you want him to atleast sit down with Harris before telling him that he is the starter? Plus iron sharpens iron and competition brings out the best in a player, so as long as there is a starter in place (doesn't have to be announced) 7-10 days before the 1st game and we are good to go.

Iron sharpens iron and this is what the players and the coaches signed up for. It was also stacked in 2011 and we made it just fine then. Plus I see the SEC West being a let-down this year. MSU is going to fall back to 8 wins, OM is going to be a 7-9 win team, Arky is getting better but they are not there yet and A&M has a major lack of talent on defense and a DC that gave away leads with the most talent any DC could ever want. They better hope their offense gets them a min of a 14 pt lead going into the 4th or they will lose. Bama is vulnerable and their schedule is tough early (#18 Wisconsin, #15 Ole Miss, #9 UGA and #20 Arkansas in the first half of the season) Bama could very easily have 1 or 2 losses by the time they play us and Auburn in Nov. I have zero clue as to how Auburn will be so I won't offer a prediction on them.

If Harris/Jennings play well we go 11-1 and if Harris/Jennings plays average we go 10-2 and if they play bad we go 9-3.

This is the beginning of the end. For the following reasons:
[1] Was not able to replace veteran DC
[2] Lost key players on defense due to attrition
[3] Poor QB play, no matter who the QB / OC is.
[4] The SEC West is brutal.

We have 11 losses the last 3 seasons with one BCS Bowl appearance in the last 7 seasons.
Safe to say we haven't been "elite" for some time now
