LSU Is Not and Never Has Been a Top 5 Program Historically

Alabama
USC
Norte Dame
Michigan
Florida
Texas
Ohio State
Are all better programs throughout history. Just because two boobs said on ESPN that we are top five does not make it so. We've perhaps had the potential to be so, but we're just not.

I think LSU is in the 6-8 range but I would absolutely put LSU above Notre Dame now.

But you leave off Oklahoma which LSU is still a better job
LSU right now is better then Michigan Notre Dame Florida.

Honestly LSU was never really considered a top-echelon program until after Saban's tenure. Only over the past 10-15 years, with Louisiana becoming a recruiting hotbed, has LSU risen in stature. Historically speaking, we don't hold a candle to teams like Notre Dame, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, etc

Top 5 job bud!
Money
Recruiting hot bed ( with no instate competition)
Fan base
Facilities
There's no reason we shouldn't be considered a top 5 job. If you can't see that your not the sharpest tool in the shed.

YOUR WRONG!
Historically I agree, but times change and today it is TOP 6!!!!! So that is damn good I will take that any day of the week.
ND - was past tense, great tradition but is not and will not ever be again a top 5 program because of academic standards too high to regularly compete. They can have a couple of good years but eventually they will fall back into the kinds of years they are having this year.
Florida - completely disagree with you, it is a great job but not top 5 when you compare the rest it is close though. When you look at LSU and Florida the difference is recruiting and the fact that LSU has no competition in the state Florida has FSU and Miami not to mention every swinging dick in the country trying to poach players from Florida. Nope LSU is the better job not even a real argument on that.
So we are down to Bama, USC, Texas, Ohio St and Michigan and I think LSU is the next school so I was off by one we are top 6 in the country still damn good and some people might argue the Michigan/LSU thing although I wouldn't I think Michigan is the better job.

LSU is a great job. It does lack the resources of other schools, but shouldn't aim for lower candidates. Historical rankings are overrated.
Posted on 11/20/16 at 9:27 am to Stevo
Agree. Except Notre Dame. That brand of football is extinct.
Posted on 11/20/16 at 9:28 am to Stevo
We are not worried about Historically, we are talking about now. Are you saying LSU is not a top 5 program NOW?
Posted on 11/20/16 at 9:30 am to Stevo
Every coach has his own views on what jobs are great. Some look at facilities and ease to recruit and win. If that's your outlook, LSU is very high.
If your outlook is nostalgic with a desire to be more recognized and revered nationally, ND would be higher.

I could care less about any success prior to 20 years ago. LSU is a top 5-6 job now. Once Saban leaves bama, they will no longer be that at all. Same logic applies to Michigan and Ohio State.
