Why so critical? This is LSU...

It is funny reading about all the demands of the LSU faithful with regards to coaching, playing, recruiting, etc. etc.
The attitude is that LSU is a historical program and as fans we deserve 10 win seasons every year with sniffs of the national championship. Because, come on...this is LSU. Sure the last 9 years have been above average but LSU has NEVER challenged for the SEC or national title repeatedly year in year out. Why all of a sudden is everyone now demanding it. Personally, I think the majority of the gripes are from 20-30 year olds who have only seen success. Look over the overall records and final rankings from the 60s-90s, LSU has always been about average with a few respectable years. 1 top ten final ranking every 10 years does not make us as relevant historically as everyone thinks it does. Why are we acting now like LSU 'never looses more than 3 games a year' and there should be wholesale changes??

Great 2nd post, you have it all figured out don't you?

I've been watching LSU since the mid-70's and have seen more rough years than good years but once you see what a program LSU can be, mediocrity is unacceptable anymore. I know you will have occasional down years but I don't think there is any reason why LSU cannot challenge for SEC champioships on a regular basis.

why don't you be coach since you're so smart?

I have read thousands of posts. Posting does not = 'figuring it out'. Just giving my opinion.

So you're saying we should just accept mediocrity? 
If you don't demand excellence you'll never achieve it

Don't go outside. Stay in the cave where it's warm.

You should be euthanized. You (and other fans like you) are a detriment to LSU.

wow way to settle for mediocrity. Know wonder why the program was so average for so many years. I guess fans like you didnt demand the best.

You are the type fan that Saban tried to educate. Apparently you are still willing to settle for mediocrity.

You are correct but LSU is a Top 10 all time winning program if you go check out College Football Data Warehouse with 3 national championships and 10 SEC championships. There is no reason why we should not win 9 to 10 games MOST years compete for SEC championships every couple of years and national championships every so often. We pay 3.3 million a year for a coach to do that. Thats why people are aggravated. I dont pay my season ticket prices AS THEY ARE NOW to have seasons of poorly coached football. 7-5 I can accept (with the team improving). 7-5 and with the performances we saw this year I have a right to complain and so does everybody else.

Curly was only 15 years ago buddy, plenty of 30 years olds who lived through that crap.

Great post and you are correct. I have had season tickets for 48 years. We were mediocre with some real bad, some good, and NO GREAT TEAMS for 45 years from 1958 to 2003. We were not in the same league as Alabama, Notre Dame, SC, Oklahoma, Texas, Michigan, tOSU............
I am sick over our bad season, but have perspective on how average it was for 45 years. Many years were just like this one.
