we did.

we had....
52 4 and 5 star players
returning senior qb
returning all sec rb
the highest paid coordinators in cfb
the easiest schedule he will probably ever have at lsu(8 of our 9 wins came against teams with at least 6 losses
3 ofour 6 sec wins combined for a total of 3 sec wins)

and he lost 4 games. including 2 historic losses

neither am i

Tom Herman as HC, with his Offensive Staff, Aranda as DC and Orgeron as DL Coach/Recruiting Coordinator would have been a much better option for the LSU football program.

We'll never know because of Strong and Alleva.

You never heard of Bill Yeoman, Jack Pardee (two coaches in the college football hall of fame), Art Briles or Kevin Sumlin?

Well, I was talking about the players that were on the team being used to winning or losing, not necessarily the history of the program.

For example, when the seniors on LSU's team signed at LSU, the expectations were a national championship. Before Herman got to Houston, when was the last time they were ranked? I actually don't remember them being ranked, but haven't looked it up either.

Would Herman have lost to Troy?

---

Yeah, just like he lost to that crappy Maryland team in the home opener.

Nonetheless, Troy State was a 12 & 2 team that beat LSU because LSU had no depth after the starters were out due to injury. Meanwhile, Troy State would have beaten several SEC teams at full strength last year. Anyway, that Troy State loss isn't O's fault. It was not O who created that depth issue. Instead, it was O's predecessor Les Miles who created that depth issue. Therefore, the blame for that Troy State lost goes on Les Miles and not O no matter what you say.

I was downvote 100. Twas a full send.

can we let this fricking season play out before we decide to burn everything down?

Remember last season. After "playing out" we ended with 4 losses including our bowl game. People are done with O and no thread telling them not to be will change a damn thing.

Prepare to go to Arlington, get drunk off our arse

This is one thing I do agree with.

Didn't realize losing to Maryland was the same as troy.

---

That 12 & 2 Troy State team would have easily beaten that Maryland team by 45 points last year, you dumb Einstein.

Moreover, that loss doesn't go on O. It goes on Les Miles because the team O inherited last year from Les Miles had a serious deficit in depth on it and that's the reason we lost that game last year. That and Troy State was a very good football team and their 12 & 2 record proves it.

Yeah teams like Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Arkansas etc, Got to love lower standards.

Anyway, that Troy State loss isn't O's fault.

Of course not, nothing in Corch Eauxs fault!!! WE COMING!!!!

Good, then we can credit Miles for Auburn and all the other wins too, plus all the wins and offensive records set in 2016.

I really look forward to the barrage of new excuses O sycophants come up with this season.

quote:

---

Oh I believe it lol, it just baffles me how we continue to have to justify a Troy loss lol and then compare a Maryland loss to it.

---

Let me help you out. That same 12 & 2 Troy State team would have easily beaten both Maryland and Texas by 45 points had they played last year.

they couldn't beat 3-8 south alabama

I know there are several of ya'll paid by the Athletics office to post here and other social media outlets to hype the program. But this is borderline ridiculous.
