re: The season was a success BEFORE we lowered the bar.

LSU entered the season with its lowest preseason ranking in years. They were an underdog in the opener and MANY felt 7 wins were the best reasonable scenario. By ALL measures this was a good season relative to preseason expectations, which were very low. LSU was picked to finish FIFTH in the West, only ahead of two dumpster fires in Ole Miss and Arkansas.
So because people disrespected our coach preseason, this season is better?
We should look at LSU's finish in a vacuum. Preseason rankings should have no bearing on our measures of success.
We were 9-3 in the regular season and should've been 10-2. That is pretty good. We should never be worse than that. Great win against a stacked UGA team. Embarrassing loss to Alabama.
Good season, with a lot of room for improvement.

No. The OP's comment was that this was not a good season relative to preseason expectations. Well, preseason expectations from both the national and local perspective were pretty low. Thus, you have to say finishing 6th in the nation is a "good season" STRICTLY RELATIVE to preseason expectations.
However, to say, as the OP did, that it was a good season relative to program expectations is also, IMO, wrong. Presumably, when LSU moved on from Miles it was because they wanted more than 9-10 win seasons. Thus, it's hard to say this was a "good" season when all it did was met a standard that wasn't looked at as good enough 3-4 years ago.
FWIW, I agree with you. Just not the opinion that it somehow wasn't a good season when strictly comparing this season to this season's preseason expectations.
