Defending the 2013 LSU Football team (And all the Les Miles hate)

He won a championship last year and lost 1 game this year.

But I have seen people around here ask about that team and what makes them so terrible with the talent they had compared to what's about to happen with Ohio State.

They did lose one game in 2015 but also didn't make the CFB playoffs

Soooooo, 1 < 3

And as already pointed out, Urban won a national title with those guys last year. Les lost 3 games the year before including an epic meltdown in the Chicken Bowl.

Man you are sad. You're comparing a team that lost one game and the previous season won a natty to a team who lost like 3 games and then even more the next. Idiotic

Tade our defense in 2013 was full of holes. Nothing but youth. Attrition catches up to everyone eventually

Urban ran from the SEC. Invented a disease in fact to pull it off. The day the easy Ohio State job opened the disease went away!
Got one of the best jobs in all of sports while the confetence wAs going thru an alltime low. Excellent fit for the job and Urban is a good coach. But he wouldnt have won crap if he had stayed at Florida. Stay real. Obviously he realized this and quit on his contract and players. Had a complete loaded team last year and lost to Michigan State at home. 2013 was an alltime offensive class at LSU but coincided with the worst defense LSU has had in almost 2 decades.
It is what it is and your post is logical to anyone that doesn't despise Miles. If anyone thinks Meyer wouldve done better than Miles if he had stayed in the SEC ( without Tebow and both Florida State and Miami handing him the top recruits at the time vs quitting ) doesn't understand the grind and pressure to coach in this league long term at any other school but Gumpville . His stomach knotted up in the easy East without having to face Saban every year like it was. But lets not let his record at Easy Ohio State interfere with the real story.

It's not championship or bust.... Just get us to a Playoff berth or BCS bowl game and the fans will be happy!!!! What ever happens there is whatever we just want to play in the games we feel like we are supposed to with the level of talent we have year in and out.

hhhmmm, idk why (ETA: in case you don't want to read it, Les didn't make the list...)

Does that make Urban Meyer not as great a coach as we all thought? Or does he get a pass because he won more championships?

You can not be that stupid

Horrible comparison. They won a national title, we didn't. We should have been better, that's all there is to it.
