quote:So did I. So did a lot of us. Your problem is that you are stuck in acceptance of mediocrity because a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, LSU was stuck with bad coaching. But in a more recent decade, LSU has shown better. Much better. Unfortunately, the quality of coaching we've become accustomed to has begun to crash and burn and the offense is beginning to resemble the kinds we were treated to in those bad old days. It's a clash of high fan expectations for LSU, up against a coaching philosophy that is increasingly playing to not lose.
I lived through the archer/hallman/dinardo era, so I certainly don't expect 11 wins every year like lots of folks do...

no remember the 90s. we just need to lower our expectations so the sun can be pumped

Yup. With the money and resources LSU has now, there is no comparison to the pre-Emmert/ Saban times. Emmert brought LSU from the 80's to the 2000's with the spending levels.
With 3 rent a wins and a OOC beatable opponent, plus the low expectation of 5-3 in SEC (minimum), there is no reason for LSU not to win at least 9 games every year.

My expectations never change. I would just like to see a well coached, consistent, disciplined football team. A team where the coaches put the team in a position that best suits its personnel. A team that focuses on playing at the highest level they possibly can play regardless of opponent.

Miles can only meet your expectations for the regular season of 2011

What is your expectation for lsu football year in and year out?
Lose to Bama and an embarrassing loss to a less talented team. Also some quirky Les Miles moment that's fans seem to eat up.

Considering the staff, talent (if you believe recruiting rankings) facilities,etc...LSU should be a perennial top 15 team. So 9-3 or better every season.
This isn't outrageous considering there's at least 3 gimmes every year on the schedule.

Expectations? 3-4 losses.
Hopes? Undefeated

I expect to compete for the West title every year. Not win it, but compete. If they lose, I expect hard fought games where we are stopped on all facets of offense, or unable to stop a balanced attack on D

I expect to reload, not rebuild.
I expect to be an SEC championship contender every year. I don't mean in the championship game every year, but certainly in the top 3 in the SEC west and in the championship game every 3rd year.

I don't think any SEC team has an inherent recruiting advantage over us - not Bama, not UF, not A&M, not UGA. So I expect our talent to be at least on par with every other SEC team, every season.
I can temper my expectations due to injuries, early departures, expulsions, road games (AU this yr was a tough draw with a new QB), schedule stretches (e.g., '12 with UF, USCe, A&M, and Bama).
I expect the staff to target Atlanta every single, season - no exceptions. I expect the staff to talk of games, wins, and losses and how they affect our chances to get to Atlanta (not this atomized approach to playing for victory each game).
So I expect us to lose a game from time-to-time, but that's it.

Lose zero to one games as many times as four or five.
Really I cannot complain much about two or three loss seasons with the schedules LSU has yearly.
The division is just brutal...Pigs are probably best five loss team in nation and may not make a bowl game.

Every loss hurts but I wouldn't call Arkansas a bad team. LSU is the better team but the hogs are not bad.

Ok - well you know that this means not giving some of the younger guys like Harris a chance if they frick up in their only opportunities right? You're okay with that?

I used to have much higher expectations. At this point I expect 8-4, 9-3 at best. I used to expect going to the SEC Championship game on a regular basis. I don't anymore.

My expectation is that the coaching staff gives better effort on the field then the OP gave with this thread

Changes every year. Recruiting, schedule and departures are diff every year.
Most of these posters are full of shite. When it comes to bashing they say title or bust. Now they sing a diff tune. Funny how things work when most predicted a season like this. They also discount 2011 as if we were shite. But then say well I predict 2-3 losses every year. Seems like we actually have exceeded expectations.

Be competitive for SECw/ATL. This year we are shy of this I'm afraid.
