- les' detractors point at the '12, '13, '14, and '15 as the tell tale sign that the program is in trouble. over those 4 seasons lsu has went 49-15. that record is the 11th best nationally over that time period.

Here's the problem with that stat. Football championships aren't awarded based on aggregate performance. We don't get an award for having the 11th best record over multiple seasons. The name of the game is having the best record in the west and then a top 4 resume to play for it all. If nothing else, then playing in an upper echelon bowl game. Right now, we're in corporate branded bowl game hell. The program has deteriorated. He needs to put more than 9 wins together in a given year. That is the only way you can justify paying him what you do and paying this staff top dollar.
