re: Looks like Troy will have an 11 win season

Another false narrative, we’ve been ranked in the teens 4 of the past 5 seasons. We haven’t been a perennial top 5 team since 07 and have been ranked in the top 10 once since 2012. Yes expectations have dropped but it happened under Miles a long time before Orgeron was HC at LSU.

---

Miles best Ranking year was 2011. He was fired for slipping after that year further and further behind in the SECW, particularly with ALA, for not developing a Passing Game & failure to develop QBs and a modern Offense. Revenues and attendance has fallen while Alleva has raised ticket prices. Miles had Top Recruiting Classes, 2nd in the SEC and under-performed much less talented teams because they had Better/Coaching/Offensive Schemes/QB utilization. When you under-perform your recruiting rank by 15-20 places in the Top 25 you get fired. The athletic administration is supposed to notice what works best and hire the best Coach available. In this case it was supposed to be an Offensive Coach - Tom Herman was the A+ "must hire" and we settled for a D-line good ole boy who is stuck in the 3-Loss or 4-Loss Miles Zone. IOTW we took a step back and it showed up in recruiting. Herman hit it out of the Park. Kiffin who made over ALA & FAU winning with 4 totally different QBs was an A+ hire who boosted all aspects of FAU from enrollment, donors, game attendance, recruiting, and national media coverage.

From the 2017 chart you see that by Week 5 we were Unranked and the season was over. The remaining SOS after Troy was in the 60's. A 3 loss team is not going to compete for any championships or move up or down in the polls.

"Yes expectations have dropped but it happened under Miles a long time before Orgeron was HC at LSU." Sad. The Coaching Hire was Joe Alleva's only major responsibility and he has yet to make a single significant one in 20 yrs.

Troy's Off is been far more productive and ranked in the Top 30 more times than LSU in the past 10 yrs. From a high of 16 in 2009 they are around 40 and LSU around 80. They controlled that game from start to finish.

Oh geez, expectations never dropped when Miles was here, but results did. That’s why he’s no longer here. A 9-3 regular season never met expectations before and it shouldn’t meet expectations now.

It was because of the elite results, mostly, that we had from 05-2012 that made 9-3, 10-3 not acceptable and a L to a SBC team was NEVER acceptable.

Miles has been gone for over 20 LSU games, a whole regular yr., and almost 2 recruiting periods. Nothing, on the whole, has changed in regard to our results in that period.

I guess there is always next yr. which is pretty much what LSU fans have heard going on 6-7 yrs. and why a coaching change was made almost 2 yrs ago.

once again not close to being true...a little over a year is much more accurate

This is dumb, even for you. Miles was fired 4 games into last season. That means we've had a new coach for over a season and a half (8/12 of last season, and 12/13 of this season). That is much closer to two seasons than one. Is this the nitpicking you dummies have resorted to to keep this thread going?

Holy frick dude, just drop it It's embarrassing for you.

ETA: But if you want to keep the thread going, by all means. I'm just saying look at the stupidity you're arguing, and ask yourself if it's really worth it.

0-7, and 0% win probability is not marginal

as of january 2012 , there was no 7 game win streak.

MSST lost the next 2 weeks 31-3 to UGA, and 49-10 to AUB, they led ALA and choked in the final Qtr - Aranda did not have the D ready for that Off, and LSU's Off was below 80th at the time

---

aranda cant help the fact that the defense was constantly on the field because the offense cannot do anything. the offense was shutout for 3 quarters.

it was 17-7 at the half. it was still a game, if the offense could have managed to do anything.

you do it...anyone that knows football knows we were outmatched on both lines that game

---

no. you are the one who made the outlandish claim, now back it up.

if you are so "bored", should be a nice time waster for you.


not that it has any relevance on the OP, but whatever, I just wanted you to go see for yourself how stupid you sound saying that miss st had better talent on the lines.

Why do you even argue with the O haters he will never be good enough? Enjoy the holidays and watch for Flboo in the crowd at the bowl game.

It's entertaining getting them mad and then watching the downvotes because they know they can't legitimately answer my question without looking like idiots so they just downvote i count those as people who hate what im saying but really can't dispute it.
