Have heard this since 2011. How many championships have been won since then? When will the offense come along, as you stated? Same shite, different year. Have a dipshit as a head coach, a previously failed experiment at OC, and apparently there is no QB that can outshine a career backup, in McMillan. Love your optimism, but it is based on nothing.

1. Hiring O was a big mistake and that it totally on Alleva.

2. I see nothing O has done that leads me to believe he can lead us to championship contention (apart from retaining Aranda).

3. The BOS is NOT going agree to pay O what it would take to fire him in November, 2018. Zero chance. O will get 2019 no matter what recordwise.

4. Our D should be good enough to get us to 8 wins. I just don't see us at 6-6 no matter what ESPN says.

I've pretty much decided to set my expectations at 6-6.


NO. STOP. I know you’re just doing that to avoid disappointment, but DONT let apathy set in. Always remember we fired Les Miles because 8 or 9 wins WASNT GOOD ENOUGH.

Predictions are not worth the toilet paper they’re written on. How bout we play the season, or at least a few games, before we set the house on fire ? Geaux Tigers

the house is already doused with gasoline, waiting on Ed O to light the match.

In this day and age of college football, hoping that your defense can only give up 14 pts or less every week is one of the worst things you can do.

trust me, the O loyalists are already setting this up as an Aranda failure. they will point to Ensminger being a new OC, having new personnel on offense and will give them every pass imaginable. Aranda will receive no quarter from them and he will be aggressively criticized for his defenses not being able to hold back opponents, even though we will lose games because of this offense.

it's a narrative that is already set up and in motion.

Anyone who would defend a 6-6 record makes me sick.

shite. Wait till they get to 6 wins and people come out the woodwork pumping their chest about a non losing season.

What do you expect? Our Looney Tunes AD replaced Elmer Fudd with Yosemite Sam.

And no one believed they would pull the trigger on miles. Sorry but if o shows regression this year he is out.

Everyone knew Miles was getting fired at the end of 15 and they did pull the trigger on Miles, twice. The first was a misfire. Miles was a dead man walking his last season.

I'm not saying I'm OK with 6-6. Quite the fricking opposite. Just that it's what I kind of expect at this point based on the direction of the program, the huge question marks facing the team and the schedule. I completely agree with everything you said about firing Miles. O should be promptly fired if we end up 6-6. Here's hoping he and Ensminger surprise the shite out of me and we go 10-2.

This is the thing. I'm still going to be pissed, but at least I won't be blindsided by it. I fully expect to spend a ton of time saying "frick this shite" in the fall of 2018.

Exactly. I'm not sure why people are taking it as me "defending" or "being OK with" 6 wins. It's simply an indication of the confidence I have in Orgeron. But again, hopefully he and Ensminger shock me and we take a step forward.

1. Les Miles needed to go and was holding LSU back

2. The mentality behind, and execution of, the coaching search was horrendous, which led to hiring a coach significantly worse than Miles

Both statements are true.



9-4, 6-6.

It's all the same shite to me: you didn't win anything.
