What is acceptable to you in 2018 (football)?

Are you satisfied with:
A) A 2-loss or fewer regular season
B) A 3-loss regular season
C) A 4-loss regular season
D) An above .500 regular season
E) wins and losses don’t matter
Anything below A) equals “we should have kept Les Miles” in my opinion. Miles could likely meet B), and for sure C). LSU is paying him $9 million and Canada $1.7 million in buyouts so we can have Orgeron as HC. What record is needed to justify those buyouts?

Why even start this type thread when you already have it figured out.....

I can accept 3 losses IF the passing attack develops this year and is good by the end of the year. realistically, with a first year starter, we could lose some games just because of that.
otherwise 2 losses.
otherwise 2 losses.

Same as any other year: Competing for a west division title.

Hopefully 2-10 and we fire 0's arse.

2-10 should be able to satisfy most LSU fans.

I've come to the conclusion that it's title game appearance or failure this season. Since Nick Saban Lost to UAB and then went on to win a national championship, and Ed O lost to Troy last year, Kirby Smart went to the title game in Year 2. That's a fair comparison for O. He must also get the #1 recruiting class.
This is how the pro-O's think, so I'll side with them on this. Title Game Appearance or O should be fired immediately. Most likely A.

B if the offense has a pulse would be satisfying s I could Argue that we are moving forward

Another thread. Another flawed premise. Another faulty conclusion. Just another day on The Rant.

With the schedule that we have, 3 losses is acceptable if they come from a combo Miami, Auburn, UGA, or Bama.
Just to clarify, acceptable means O won’t lose his job not that I’d necessarily be excited by that outcome.
10-2 or better would get me excited. 9-3 with losses being “good losses” (I hate that term) would keep me off the ledge.

Firing Orgeron and Alleva
Posted on 2/14/18 at 11:57 am to 00 Tech Grad
We will know game 1 what this team is made of. Toughest opening game since Oregon in 11.

Not really. Les would not change what are fans suppose to wish for in that case?
With a new starting QB its B this year and A next.

What is acceptable to you in 2018 (football)?
I want a strong, well-coached game that is at least competitive with Miami, where the QB is sharp, decisive and accurate, the WRs get open and make plays, the running game is effective, the o-line is solid provides consistent protection. The defense is in position, does not get pushed around, doesn't let people run open. The kicking game is a FG lock within 50 yds and results in touchbacks, and doesn't shank punts or allow huge runbacks.
There should never be a question whether LSU should be on the same field as Miami, talent-wise. Ideally, there should be a question whether Miami should be on the field with LSU.
And then, I want the team to look a little better each game.
As I said, don't even discuss W-L record at this point. The Auburn game last year was a great comeback, but was huge example of up&down play. Tennessee also, for half the game LSU looked like crap. I WANT a team that plays solid and pretty mistake-free from start to finish, and if they lose, the other team earns it.
Get that from a team with a soph (or redshirt freshman) QB, let the chips fall where they may, and then enter the next season TRULY thinking LSU is back at the top level of football.

I'd say (A) but a more realistic expectation is probably (B) 3 losses. Decision totally based upon strength of schedule and new qb. If coaches get passing game to be top three in SEC, we only lose 2 max regular season games. Auburn, Florida and Miami are winnable games. Good probability we win against ole miss, arky and aTm. Bama and Georgia are questionable.

Miles' last four years at LSU:
2013: 10-3
2014: 8-5
2015: 9-3
2016: 2-2
That comes out to a winning percentage of 69% (nice!), but if you take out 2013, it goes down to 65%.
Orgeron's first two years:
2016: 6-2
2017: 9-4
That's a winning percentage of 71%. If he finishes 2018 with 3 or fewer losses, it will be an improvement over Miles' recent years.
This year will tell us a lot about the direction of the program.

10 wins or Ed O needs to hit the mother fricking road. We didn't fire our 10 wins/year and greatest coach in school history to be worse. It's beyond unacceptable.

10 wins - preferably with a bowl win, but that's not a hard requirement.
10 wins is progress. 9 wins means we fired Les to get O at the same level of performance (since 2011, of course).
(I'm tough, but I'm fair.)
