Two out of five we came close? That's like saying oh man well at least we tried... We have the kids down their to at least gave them a run for their money. Let's accept being ok at football and not get a fire in our guts to beat Alabama next year. Explain the national championship in 2011? We had the best LSU team we've ever had and went from going 9-6 to them to losing 21-0? Why does Les even put JJ in that season when Lee is lighting it up and doing his best to redeem his pick 6 record setting season. Look I love LSU so damn much it's insane, I want the best for our team. Les needs to get his shite together. He's had 5 chances in a row to put it together and beat bama. He's shown that he's mentally incapable of it and is beginning to have an instilled fear that he can't beat them. Time to get fresh blood in the program with someone who isn't getting payed... Someone who wants to prove them self and wants to make it a point to beat Bama. Les is happy as long as he wins X amount of games. He's not striving for National Championships like he did in '07 when he came out and you could tell he had Grit when he came out and told everyone to have a "Nice day" while he and his "damn strong football team" went on to win a national championship. Keep in mind he lost to Arkansas and Kentucky that year which should've blown it for us, but luckily didn't! He's got a hard schedule and does a good job, but if he can't beat bama they're so late on our schedule that we can't go to the playoffs anymore without beating them unless they're a two loss team. And that's something we can't account for. The LSU team I saw both last night and in the 2011 game lacked energy in a huge way. Same thing with the team you see in bowl games frequently and at Arkansas from time to time. He lacks the ability to get his teams ready for games that MATTER. Which is a HUGE aspect of being a coach. That being said GEAUX Tigers and Forever LSU
