Yeah. True fans hoping for the best. No sense letting that go un-criticized. Should they/we hope for less than success?

Improvement over the "Worst of all-time" LSU Defense, doesn't mean Good or Great, just better than last year.

And this is...what? Unreasonable? Not demanding enough for you? A fan hoping for better than the shitstorm that was the defense last year? Should he be grinding his teeth to come up with something more serious than a conversational "hoping for better" just to appease you?

There's no evidence that an NFL DB Coach can effectively coordinate a Defense in the SEC, make adjustments and get everybody on the same page with their assignments. It's all a big MAYBE.

Would have much preferred somebody that's actually done that in the last decade. Big gamble here.........

These go together. I'd guess that there are more than 20 or so tRanters who've said they'd hoped for more college experienced coordinator hires - particularly on defense. (Probably a real low-ball estimate.) Innovation and change is always a gamble but to a man, they have all said they will support the new guys. That's not blind adherance to loyalty. More of a reasonable hope for success for our coaches and team, I'd say.
I think you and I have had difference of opinions before but I seem to remember some solid takes and don't believe you are an a-hole. Am I wrong?
