LSU football's future brightest in Miles era.

He's said the same shite the last three years...this time Chris Cotter and Matt Millen called him on it and it shut him up. No idea why he keeps saying it though.

All we have to do is win with our schedule. Really don't care about what they think. Its what our players see as their championship destinies that is important. Their belief in one another to play as champions. And be classy about it accepting it as doing their jobs, but with CLASS.

It depends if we keep losing Juniors at the rate(especially the mid round playerS) we have the last 2 years. We can't keep having all these green players and expect to win in the SEC.


2nd most important thing is developing a QB. We've had 1 true above average season by a QB since Matt Flynn.

I wont totally disagree with that. Though they had some key older guys like Ruben Randel, Claiborne, Brandon Taylor, and a few guys on the OL& DL.

I also wont bank on that happening again. TM7 single handidly winning what, 4 games alone?

I've noticed lately that the national media has seemed to have bought into LSU being on the down slide...

Actually I like the impression that the media and especially our opponents have about our Tigers. Once we start showing our stripes by beating the other teams convincingly (most importantly Bama!) then we can start smiling and

LSU has dodged many bullets in the post Saban era that began in a January. Its a tribute to everyone associated with LSU, that they have overcome them all. Auburn was down, Texas, USCw, Michigan, Penn St Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, even easy ole Ohio State had a bad yr on the gridiron and had a probation. Mark Richt's seat was scorching 2 yrs ago.

LSU had some rotten luck. During their undefeated season they likely wouldve beaten anyone other than Alabama that night. The following yr they had an NFL team and dominated the Bama game but lost on the screen pass at the end of the game. Some questionable sideline decisions were costly as well. LSU played one of their very best games ever that night.
If we win either game the perception is LSU is a juggernaut. Losing the most players to NFL, playing one of the very hardest schedules and still kicking butt.....
C'est la vie.

But LSU has withstood the latest obstacle which was the unprecendented NFL departures and are on solid footing again. Still a year away from being completely stacked, but really an amazing accomplishment as u look around and see some of the very best programs struggling every 4-5 years.
There are very few schools that have matched the Miles era and when u consider everything that has transpired, it would be a very short list nationally.
2nd in recruiting last yr and the additions of Coach Cameron and Grimes has LSU right back where they belong on the verge of a Championship. But , its not as easy as it used to be. Almost all the SEC schools have doubled and even tripled their number of 4 and 5* players. Its about to become a QB thing, if it hasnt already.

Jan 9th 2012 spoiled what would have been (in my opinion) one of if not the greatest single season in college football history.



The Juniors leaving at an alarming rate almost can't be sustained and is probably a reason for the national media to speculate that we aren't at the top of LSUs game, but I may add that the fact that they are leaving by truck loads is actually helping us in recruiting. Guys are knowing they are walking in to more open slots and also walking into one of the best if not the best pipeline currently to the big show. Either way the football program isn't going anywhere anytime soon but we also need to not take all this success for granted because it is all cyclical. Every great program/dynasty takes down turns, lets just hope some of these bone/talking heads aren't on to something.

What say Penrod? This...

Neither has shown any signs of leaving LSU and are being handsomely paid. We have a proven winner at HC

LSU hovers over the region with the most dense talent in the nation. As long as we're willing to pay the price - for coaches and facilities - we will remain one of the top five powers. No decline!

Here's what happened and why our talent "slipped". We had a bad cycle the year Landon a Collins came out (bad for our standards) and when all those juniors left, we had to play less talented guys. However since then we haven't had even one bad recruiting cycle. Now that we have an OC that can develop talent, I see LSU becoming more of a reload rather than a rebuild program.
