Yeah. I thought we had bad fans before we hired O, now I know we do.

Thank God for the real fans!!, If not for them, Ole Curly might still be our coach.

Do you remember him? Its all about taking that pigskin and doing something with it.

Some people see a problem, and try to fix it. Others not so much. You decide who the REAL fans are.

Well I gave 4 years of my life to the university so I have a good idea who they are. Also 59 years old so as they say with age comes knowledge. Doubt you are one

I think most agreed that Les had outlived his usefulness.

I think most believed we could bring in a top coach.

I think most are seeing what many have said before, at LSU there are no guarantees when hiring s football coach. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose.

Right now we haven't seen an improving QB situation, we are wondering about TB, recruiting has slipped, but our D seems stellar.
In other words we are treading water.

Ditto. I don’t think people who did not make this effort realize how disappointing the game day performance was. There were 40,000 LSU fans there, 1200 miles from home, in a football shrine and nothing had changed from 2015 except we had even better future NFL talent and lost. That did it for me. (And, of course, watching the Allbarn game in NYC at a bar full of lunatics thinking we’d won.). Gave up my season tickets after 46 years watching in Tiger Stadium. Hope you down vote and hope I’m wrong. Last time I quit season tickets was basketball and Brady wound up getting us to The Final Four. So, if football gets in the playoffs this year, you can thank me.

Yeah but come on man, that doesn't really apply here.

Had LSU landed Fisher or Herman and we had the same result, then yeah...your point applies.

But when you replace Miles with fricking Orgeron - you get what you paid for. Actually, LSU is getting ripped off with what they're paying him.

Fans that liked to complain about Miles before O arrived. Fans that LOVE to complain since O became head coach. Answer is that we have not really changed, just become more passionate in our desire for the head coach to fail.

It applies in spades.

The system that brought us Archer, Hallman, and Dinardo also got us Saban and Miles and now O.

Its LSU man.

source?

I'd argue the exact opposite - that we're considered the most passionate fans in the country. If we see the program headed downhill then yes, there will be criticism.

It's because we care.

The perception is the same. I thought LM time was long done, but it was idiotic to pay him millions to go away just to replace with EO.
