What Is different from expectations?

O or any replacement should be held to that standard.

What scares me is people are already lowering the bar and expectations now and for next year.

We barely beat Syracuse at home


Syracuse

i am not lowering the bar for next year. with all the freshmen we have playing, we have to be better next year. i just dont see us having enough this year. the only good thing is that the SEC is bad this year. i dont believe it will stay bad

It's no surprise to anyone with a brain. This phony outrage has been orchestrated since he was hired. The same people who ignored every sports expert and publications prediction of 9-3 or 8-4 were saying this season will be a bust if we lose 2 games or more. And these are the same people who are now pretending to be upset and saying I told you so when all they're really upset about happened months ago and has nothing to do with our record, which happens to be a better record than 2 of the past 3 seasons at this point.

O Apologist. 8-4 was not what I wanted. But now would be happy to even get close as bad as this team has looked.

I've never once said they don't concern me but the reaction from the fans is embarrassing. We've had games like Saturday and games like State under Miles and Saban yet these games are being treated totally different because some fans hate the coach. I've seen multiple posters say they wish we'd lose games. We don't look good that's obvious but to blame everything on coach O is so lazy and ignorant. Aranda's defense looks like shite, is he all of the sudden a bad coach? Canada's offense is bi polar, is that because he's all the sudden a bad coach? You can't blame one guy and not the others but that's what's going on when the truth is we are weak and thin at the two most important units on the field. There's no talent at the tackle position at all the film shows it and we have no depth on the dline. Some of it is injuries which is nobody's fault and some of it is because O had to clean house and discipline a lot of kids that were doing whatever they wanted too and used to getting away with it. We are 3-1 that's a better start than 2 or the last 3 seasons and people are acting like we are winless.

So what we lost to Auburn by a larger margin in 2014 and Miss State has been a better program than Auburn the past 6 years.

Lol that post doesn't even make sense and even still it's not as ignorant as the logic behind it.

What Is different from expectations?

- Getting swamped by Mississippi State. Nobody really expected.
- Having Arden Key back . . . and being fat AND slow. Surprise there.
- Having an offensive line that can barely block anyone. That's a surprise.
- Having an offense that misfires and struggles. Hired new man Canada. Expectations were high.
- Having a defense that mid-tier opponents can put up points and yardage on with apparent ease. That's a real disconcerting shocker there.
- Having Darrius Guice be not as productive running the ball as he was last year. That's a little different from expectations I think most would say.

So . . . All of these point to a potential for calamity come SEC schedule play. And THAT is different from most people and pundits' expectations for LSU this year.
