Missing state is far from horrible. Have you watched Florida lately. They blow out Michigan and beat us.. They had a bad game against Kentucky and Missouri. Top 10 team man. On the road

I don't accept mediocrity. I said, I wasnt happy with 3 losses. I'm saying there's some things to build on from this season, and to relax with the Heisman bullshite

Hell you can make the playoff with a loss or two maybe

And what can fans do to win a game anyway. We can accept or not accept anything and it won't win or lose a game

I'm not being negative just realistic

Myles wasn't an extremely highly touted prospect, was he? People act like he was Kyler Murray coming out of high school on here

Head Coaching job security is what fans can do. If it is assumed rightly or wrongly that a coach has a lot of fan support, it can save his job. See Les Miles 2015.
Look at the PR campaigns.
Last year, at this time we were sitting at 9 wins, but there were negative leaks that the program isn't where it was supposed to be and a bunch of rumors that it all could be fixed if they just got rid of Matt Canada.
This year, we are sitting at 9 wins, and all you hear being said is what a great opportunity we have to have a 10 win season.

Brennan was 6th overall pro style QB prospect - 3 spots behind Jake Fromm.

I'd just like Lincoln Riley as OC.

Who is it that really has unrealistic expectations? Is it really that much of a stretch with all the NFL talent we always have, as evidenced by performances on Sundays for years now, that we should at least win a championship of some sort at least sometimes? That’s too much to ask? frick that!
I’m not saying we need to win a NC or even be in the playoff every season. What Bama and to a lesser degree Clemson are doing is incredible. There has never been a program like Bama in my lifetime and may never be again once Saban leaves. I don’t expect us to do what they do, though I’m hopeful. We were the dominant program for many years not too long ago.
But we have not won even an SECW championship in 7 years. We don’t even compete with Bama at this point. That is unacceptable when other programs have been able to beat them. We have had the talent to do so but have not...so it falls on coaching. Period. If we don’t have the line depth to compete or the QB, WR, or anything else we need...that’s on coaching. The scheme doesn’t do us any favors either. We will never beat them running a 70s offense. They’re too good upfront for that even if we get better guys. That needs to change.
I hold Orgeron to the same standard as Miles. At some point the excuses cease to hold water. Get to Atlanta and/or the CFB or get packing.

OK, to make this clear, I was saying next year our quarterback isn't throwing 40 tdS, and win Heisman... Those are the expectations I was speaking of... Along with the fact that we overachieved when it comes to starting the season ranked 25 and ended the regular season ranked 11...thats the definition of overachieving...we were just underrated I guess
Posted on 12/31/18 at 2:40 pm to Goldrush25
Then why keep him if he can’t beat Bama. It gotvCharlie Mac fired and Les Miles.

Excuse me, but O said we would be playing for championships immediately. Here we are at the end of year 2 and still not in the playoffs.

Bama isn't the only team Ed has lost to.
