re: Only one team can be the best, and it's not us...

Our whining will not cause a coaching change...
Not directly, but collectively from the fan base, boosters, and local media will wear and tear on a Coach and AD.

Let's say we go 11-2 and try to run the coaches out. What does that say about us as fans?
Imo, it says that the fans are tired of being "relegated to second best" and know that we have talent to win SEC championships, but don't have the coaching to get us there.

That only increases our inferiority complex. It says that we can't accept losing to a particular team (no matter how great they are)
It's also because we lose to that particular team the exact same way every time.
A title goes through Alabama, and LSU won't beat them without offensive innovation which is what's needed for a victory.

Fair enough...has there been a precedent for this? I feel like it may have happened with John Cooper at Ohio State. His teams were always solid, but couldn't beat Michigan. The difference is Michigan was an underdog several times. But I believe Cooper was pushed out.

Fair enough here as well. It's unrealistic to expect to duplicate what Alabama is doing. I think that is a lightning in a bottle situation with Saban and the resources and whatnot. Being 2nd best out of 14 teams (if that's what we are) isn't terrible. We all want a trip to Atlanta though, and that's a long shot now.
The question is: is there a coach out there, that we can have, that can overturn this trend while maintaining status as an elite program?

You are correct. I suppose my above statement applies to this as well. We risk going the way of Texas or Tennessee if we get a change going. We have more talent than those schools did at the time of a coaching change, but also risk 'losing these kids' from a mental standpoint, as they are loyal to Miles.
