I can't remember the last time LSU overachieved in football since 2007.

Ed Orgeron was not the hire to have these expectations. A&M made the bold moves. We settled...no getting around that.

I don't know why all these people downvote posts like this, but you're in denial. Every sports talk station in the SEC says no program would've hired Ed Orgeron and Steve Ensminger. Fact.

I would argue that with JJ and JL as the QBs, the 2011 team overachieved....at least until 1/9

So your faith in sports lies in the words of people hired to stir the pot? Most of those guys are wannabes that never played a down and pass words from one to the next until they believe they are facts. I'm not saying O or Ensminger are the best in the world but what is wrong to listen to players and recruits that interact with the coaching world every day? You just spew negativity - not fact! Must be a miserable world you live in. How can you be a Tiger fan? Even better - WHY?

No power 5 program would hire Orgeron or Ensminger for the jobs LSU gave them. Never forget Syracuse wouldn’t even interview Orgeron.

You are correct about the hire of O and E. However the same can be said of the DS hire at Clemson.

Almost everyone of those experts, if they were in a position to be heard at that time, were predicting that Saban would be unsuccessful when he came to LSU. "Yankees can't win and recruit in the South".
If LSU were to beat Bama and Georgia next season, they would all get amnesia about their predictions. Of course if we beat Bama forty points, Feinbaum will still be cheering for Bama.

How of those brainless blowhards predicted LSU basketball would finish at the bottom of the conference this past season.

In 2011, you can search The Rant archives and you will certainly find the Chicken Littles saying how far back the defense would fall by losing Nevis, Sheppard, and PP7. Brockers, Minter, and the Badger were all FR in 2010. And absolutely lit it up in 2011.
