I think we will win 10,with a few breaks 11. we have the best OC/DC combo since Jimbo and Muschamp.

I'll be happy getting to 11 wins. today's 11 win cfb season is the 1980-2000 10 win season.

If LSU becomes the first team to prove head coaches don't matter, that should really shake up the market prices on head coaches going forward. It would be a paradigm shift that the game hasn't seen since the advent of the spread concept.

What? Are they going to fire him if he loses 3 games in his first year? NO. Are you going to give up LSU because they lost 3 games? NO. It's not ideal but it's plenty "acceptable." You'll complain and yell on tRant and look forward to next year like you do every season.

I think the lesson won't be head coaches don't matter it will be that having 2 great coordinators matters as much as having a good coach IN THE SHORT term anyway.

It will be interesting to watch, at least. That said, I don't think Alleva is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.

It's just funny seeing the rant finally admit that they are ok with losing 3 games a year as long as we do it passing the ball instead of running it.

Auburn had Gus, Lashlee and Muschamp and went 7-6 (2-6). It's going to be a mountain to climb to break that paradigm.

It's trajectory. I get that bottom line is W-L, but I think AD wants to see that the appropriate steps are taken to:

1. Operate an offense that attacks defenses weaknesses and makes in game adjustments
2. Continue to field a defense that plays at a high level
3. Maximize the performance of players
4. Manage any off field issues appropriately
5. Recruit elite players
6. Correct deficiencies in special teams
7. Represent the program in a manner which draws positive attention to the institution
8. Manage coaching staff effectively

I think these are the benchmarks that LSU is looking for and if achieved, winning will take care of itself. That being said, I see LSU admin looking at trajectory for the team this year. Next year its going to be how the team finishes.

He can win maybe 8 games at the least and still keep his job, but he should immediately be on the hot seat for results for next year. If he does worse than that then he should be fired.

Mehh. We're probably just taking the word "acceptable" to mean two different things. I've been accused of being too literal. And my thoughts are nothing drastic would change (thus everything was accepted) if we lose 3.
Yeah. I want to win the SEC West, The SEC, the championship and then fire the coach like any self respecting LSU fan.
But 9-3 with signs of improvement and what could very possibly be the #1 class next year, there will be real reason for optimism.

Yeah but I'm not sold on Gus being this offensive genius like everyone else. that was Gus' offense. not really his coordinator's right

2018? We won't finish in the top 5. If you're talking about 2019, I haven't looked into that class much yet.

OK, Bobby Bowden had Jimbo Fisher and Mickey Andrews in 2009. They went 7-6 (4-4). Over the three years they had this combination, they went 7-6, 9-4, 7-6.

Pretty simple stuff. The whole point of this 'hire' was to improve. We're already conceding a decline.

Whats the freaking point?

To me it's much more of an issue of how we lost than the lose itself. If CEO loses four games because we straight up get beat then I'd be fine with that(though I don't see that happening). I'm just tired if losing for stupid coaching reasons *cough cough clock management*

If LSU does well next year, they need to think seriously about moving the coach responsible for the success to the HC spot.

I don't see the point of a CEO model when you've identified the coach with the talent. Sign him up because your luck with replacements will eventually run out.

Keeping instead the guy that has the most easily approximated skill (recruiting, motivation) is backwards.
