Tell me you're basing this on more than one half against Arkansas.. and they'll also likely lose CAP and Duke. As we've seen, difficult to replace that production and their D is garbage.

And we already destroyed the Landsharks. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Home field may be a difference for Ole Miss, but also for Auburn.

As far as our offense, JJ/JL made vast improvements after Krags got here their Sr years and Mett did the same after a year in the SEC. I think it'll happen again for Jennings. He didn't have good numbers but his play improved noticeably after his benching.

Plus I dont think we need more than 150 yards and some third down scrambles to complement the run game.

Like Auburn? Finished with the same record.

Ole Miss? Their best team in fifteen years finished one game better than us...and we beat them.

Miss St. is what, one for their last twenty against us?

Lift up your skirt, find your balls, and quit whining. If it's too hard for you to root for LSU, you should find a school that exhibits the excellence you demand from what I'm sure is every facet of your life.

Other teams have more room for improvement. Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky... all were terrible last year.

Here we go again...enough already. It's not Les' fault the best coach and program in recent college football history is in his division. As long as this dynamic is in place, accept it and move on. No one in the SEC West is going to de-throne Bama as the dominant program until Saban retires...

We have the highest paid staff in all of college football and haven't even been to the SEC in 3 years, now we're 4-4 in the SEC and playing on a Tuesday afternoon.

It isn't dumb, it's self-evident.
But Frank Wilson is such an awesome Recruiting Coordinator!

Something must be wrong somewhere, because all those great recruiting classes aren't translating to the field with Championships!

PW's (Program Worshippers) absolutely love them some SEC 4-4 and Tuesday Afternoon Bowls though. (BTW, that's a great song by the Moody Blues)

How did we lose 0-17 to a "terrible" team?

By your logic, the team with the best recruiting class should win the championship every year. When was the last time LSU had the top recruiting class ... I'll hang up and listen.

Not true actually. The Tigers Assistant Coaches are the highest paid, but when head coaching salary is factored in, they're not the highest. At any rate, LSU still is the winningest SEC program since 2000 and also during the decade of Miles. The program is self-reliant, paying every nickel of those salaries from Football revenue. The team will likely finish this season with 9 wins and be a top ten pre-season team. Could be a helluva lot worse.

Oh really?

For the second straight year, LSU’s group of nine assistant coaches have a combined pay that leads the nation, and extensions are in the works for at least some of them. LSU’s assistant salary pool is $5.38 million, eclipsing Alabama’s $5.19 million, according to a list of rankings from USA Today. Auburn’s assistants make $4.64 million for third. Clemson and Oklahoma round out the top

So this "ranking system" is based off one year of offense?

Read my post dumbass.

That isn't factoring in the entire football staff. You think only 10 people are on staff? It also doesn't factor in bonuses.

Private schools aren't on public record either.

Going back 5 cycles.
2010
UF, UT, USC, OU, Bama, Auburn, FSU, LSU
2011
Bama, FSU, USC, Auburn, UGA, tOSU, LSU
2012
Bama, UT, FSU, UF, tOSU, Michigan, Stanford, UGA, USC, Miami, Auburn, OU, Oregon, LSU
2013
Bama, tOSU, UF, Michigan, ND, LSU
2014
Bama, LSU


Where are all those titles for the other teams? Factor in we continuously lose players early, this is what happens. You make a bad hire and you end up like UF, Michigan and USC. All the talent in the world doesn't help you with a bad coach.

Les Miles is not a bad coach.
