Meeting Expectations on the Ponderosa ('18)

In 2018, he must do one of these at a minimum
A) Beat Bama AND also get at least 9 wins in regular season.
B) Win the SEC-West and make it to ATL.
C) Win 11 games or more total (inclusive of a strong Bowl win)
Anything less will be considered unacceptable.
The roster is stacked, even with the departures.
You are either in this to contend and build, or you are Ole Miss.
I believe Coach O knows this.
He is doing it his way for one full year. There are no viable excuses. Injuries included. That's part of the real life equation.
This is effectively going to be his 3rd year as HC.

With our schedule next year, A.

At least "B". Presumably you fired Les Miles because you wanted the program to take the next step -- from good/really good to championship level, NOT simply to live up to watered down expectations because Ed Ogeron is your coach.
Fair or unfair, Ed doesn't get a pass. Don't give me the bullshite of "9 wins with this team was really good". Or "See, this isn't like O's Ole Miss tenure. He won 9 games". You fired your long time coach to become a championship caliber program. Anything less is unacceptable. If the status quo is what the goal/expectation should be, then LSU shouldn't be wasting millions by paying guys "not to coach". They should have just kept Les and been happy being a 8-10 win no championship winning team.

D (for Derek).. Spin a good enough lie after winning 8 games by beating some teams with winning records (just like Miles) such as players left and /or turn pro to buy 2 more years.
ITS A REBUILDING YEAR!!

I agree there should be high expectations. However

If we win 9 or more games next year, you need to sign O to a lifetime contract.
All of the big boys return their QB's next year. Meanwhile, we will be breaking in a new one, and who the hell knows who our RB will be.
Just accept it. The schedule is rough and the personnel doesn't match up. It happens.
What you need to watch for is how we are coached. Our recruiting class. And if O can change the culture with the QB's and sign top ones ever year. It's as simple as that.
I do think Miami is a team we CAN beat. But that will rely solely on Brennan.

I'm sure they will take your expectations into consideration and respond accordingly

These threads are 100% pointless...... yes we get it! Ed has high expectations because we fired a coach that was more successful than others and at LSU you either win championship or you’re gone. The fact of the matter is that you have no clue what next year is gonna hold. None! This time last year we had a 5 star tackle on our team that would have been a great asset and he jumped ship a little before the season. My point is it’s Jan 14th! Take it easy. Put football on the back burned and enjoy some basketball. If you in the BR. Area there’s a gym meet at the PMac next Friday. Get out and go enjoy yourself. Take a deep breathe everyone. We are really good in most sports and should enjoy it!
