Before 2000, you are correct. This program made the improvements, facilities, money, etc. to become a 10 win/year program.

ugh


wins - losses are not all.

The games were passing LSU by. It is an entertainment venture and was not entertaining...even in the wins.


To lose is not shameful. To lose and not even be a reasonable facsimile of a modern football offense is inexcusable.

Les didn't get fired because other teams were better, he got fired because we got progressively worse and he sucked on game day.

What are you talking about? We were 8/9 win program with crap. Miami and FS was cherry picking our talent. This is a different era my friend and we aren't all young and dumb like you think. We do have intelligent people that post here. I won't say you aren't one of them but well you aren't top 100 for sure.

That article is BS because 8 wins in the 50s and 60s meant an 8-2 season with was pretty, darn good.

But more importantly, in the 1980s and 1990s LSU paid its head coaches peanuts and its assistant coaches even less. We couldn't compete for top level coaches. Starting in December of 1999 LSU started paying top dollar for not only head coaches, but assistant coaches, and first class facilities across the board.

The author of that article is a moron.

Nobody can predict the future. It is not a given LSU will continue to win 10 games per season, but it hardly is a sure thing it will fall back to a 7 win team either.

Things have changed, a lot more money now involved, more exposure, at least for the next 10-15 years LSU has amongst the best facilities in the nation that where not there in the dark days of the 90's. Saban wont' stay around forever either. Bama has proven they can suck pretty good without the right guy in charge, just like everyone else.

Most of the media agrees that LSU is a top 5 job. Some even say you could argue it's the best job. That doesn't sound like an 8-9 win a year program to me. Maybe you should accept that teams are capable of progression. It's not the 70s-80s anymore.

As much as the kids on this board don't understand. Not accepting losing and not questioning getting rid of Miles, but the reality is this program is a 7 to 9 win program, not a 10 - 12 over the long run. I think we are seeing the natural regression to the mean.



Cool. They should hire me as coach then. I'd work for much less than Miles.

Your argument is dumb. 20 years ago when only 10 games a year were played then yes 7-9 win team. Now 13 is the norm thus a 10+ win program and a top 12 program all time. So adjust accordingly and you are wrong.....this is where I call you dipshit!!

First off. Any article about college football that refers to wins per season over time is dishonest. Teams play more games now.

Second, the premise of regressing to the mean in football is nonsense. For example. Before Bobby Bowden showed up, FSU had NEVER been good. They almost never broke .500 ball.

Does that mean that if they start losing 50% of their games, their admin should say, "oh well, we used to suck so no big deal"
