Did O really say he doesn't expect to win championships?

He said they didn't have any team goals related to championships or something along that line

It was normal coach speak, focus on one game, blah, blah.
Not a big deal and I hate Joe Alleva and his farce of a coaching search more than anyone.

Not really, he was just talking in coach speak about one week at a time.
That being said, the about face by his supporters has been astonishing. We went from a pretty uniform consensus that we were firing Les because we wanted to get to Bama's level, or at least win 9-10 games with a fun offense.
After saturday night the narrative of the O's has shifted to "As long as O can win 7-8 games in the worst SEC in recent memory by any means neccessary then he's done a good job."

Didn't see it, but that's not how it's being quoted.
He said, something to the effect, they didn't impose championship expectations on the team (players).
Still bad, but not quite the same thing. This isn't UAB, La Tech, or even SMU (all due respect) - LSU players come to the school and the coaches are hired to compete for SEC and National Championships in football. Even in the darkest days of Curley, that was the mindset - we have a talent-rich recruiting pool, no real in-state competition for that pool, a football focus in the state, a football emphasis in the AD, a top-tier stadium and, on good days, fanbase, etc., etc.
So, it is a verbal gaffe at the very least. Warrants a talking to by the AD, if we had one.

Alleva:
"Winning championships is the goal of all LSU sports."
"However, lolololololololololololol."
"LaCrosse, bitches. Lololololololol"

It's OK. I'm sure the cajun salesman will see the error in his comments and retract. Like he did with the whole pro style vs spread offense fiasco. That's what good salesmen do. Tell you what you want to hear.
