What about every single preseason the posters on here that say 10-2.

Yep

I thought we would lose at least 2 out of 3 vs USC, A&M, Bama.
USC because we don't open well at all. A&M because they play up at Kyle Field. Bama because we can't match their talent and depth, and they always play well here.

I thought we might lose to Ole Miss, Arkansas and Florida. Ole Miss is good but it was home. Arkansas and Florida, we should be better but they're road games.

So, we lost all 3 games I was real worried about, and 1 of the 3 I thought could get us.

A lot of us did. The day BK was hired. LSU is way too big for him and he is melting.

He refused to coach the bowl game even though he was getting paid. Should have docked his pay.

Nuss refused to play in the bowl game even though he knew we'd be without a QB if he didn't play.

Who would you have hired? Let’s hear it NOBODY ever answers this question

Perhaps it’s because we don’t hire the guy.
We expect the guys that do the hiring to do their jobs.
In this case, I really don’t the logic behind the decision.

will tell you he’s a great coach

He will never be a great coach. He lost to USC.

When it was 23-21 in the second half against Nicholls, yeah…

We are a middle of the road SEC team that can punch up or down

Add to that, we lost the first game to what turned out to be a bad team.

How the expectations got so high is the true question.

Wins over SC and OM were improbable and should get more credit, but this 3 game collapse makes that impossible.

Just too many glaring weaknesses that you can't put on film this long without consequences. Handicapped at too many spots. It would require multiple 1st round talent at key positions to overcome.

We don't have it, nor is it even on the roster. Because if it was, it surely would be getting time over what we're putting out there.

the constant execution errors are what get me...

this team is in no way "Saban-esque" or anywhere near it.

We are paying for a much higher level of execution than what we are getting

Collapsing and losing poise against TAMU. Decimated at home by Bama. Bumbling against a sub-.500 Florida team. All disgusting.

Yep.

Losing close to a good FSU team in year 1 was acceptable, especially with beating Alabama and making the SECCG.

Losing a blowout to the SAME team in the next opener suggests that FSU got better over the summer while LSU stayed the same or got worse. Losing on the road to Alabama was understandable.

In year 3, losing to a bad team in the opener, and getting blown out at home by Alabama, and losing to another bad team in Florida shows the program is clearly going in the wrong direction.

What is Kelly doing all summer if he's not preparing his team? Is this really what $10 million a year buys you these days?

I don’t know why you got so many downvotes. You are spot on

. . . Maybe it’s the Dan Mullen thing
