Les Miles is putting together a recruiting class that will top 2009 - we're going to have such a special football team the next few years.

...and yet people still insist on our "decline"

THERE IS NO DECLINE - SORRY NEGATIGERS! OPEN YOUR EYES!

What a great time to be an LSU fan!!!

So Ole Miss is a damn strong football team now?

Ole Miss has a bright future - that rivalry will be MUCH more prominent 5 years from now. If you follow college football and recruiting, this is no surprise to you. Very soon, Ole Miss will be our toughest obstacle year in and year out on our journey to the playoffs!

what if CLM retires in 7 years?

This is reasonable, given that he is 60 years old this year. I expect 7-10 more years as well. Once Les Miles retires, he will go down as the greatest LSU in history, with 3 national championships in 4 appearances. The next coach in line will inherit a top 3 elite program, and maintain that success for years to come.

educate me on why bama has imminent mediocrity ahead, while we will taste consistent riches?

I'm not disagreeing with you; I just don't understand your argument. You sound like you're just waiting for Saban's retirement as if it will unlock wild success for LSU

Law of averages, my friend. Once Bama soon loses it's superior coaching, it will dwindle away as it did post Bear Bryant. Their fans will fight it at first, but eventually will enter a state of content, reminiscing on the short-lived accomplishments. This bundle of recent championships will be their comfort blanket through times of irrelevance. LSU will sustain through years of consistency with a quality coach who truly cares about his players beyond LSU football.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Chicken! Well said!

Think back to all of the great dynasties in every major sport - it's impossible to sustain that level of success. As mentioned in the thread I started last night, it's both a gift and a curse to a program. Alabama is looking at many years of mediocrity ahead, while LSU will remain an elite program for decades, winning 3 or more national championships in that span.

We have our best years ahead of us, folks!

Thanks for the feedback Navytiger74, and you have my sincerest gratitude for your service. :usa:

Firstly, I do not wish my opening post being viewed as an 'argument' at all, but more of an 'observation'. Based on this observation I'm making an informed prediction of LSU's future. My stance is that we will have prolonged success, indirectly impacted by Alabama's ephemeral, albeit historic dynasty. To be perfectly clear, LSU's destiny is not dependent upon Bama. However, we will capitalize on their inevitable demise - it is an instinctive reaction in such a situation.

In regards to the processing comment - keep in mind that we've been very competitive with Bama, except the BCSNCG. We came out flat - but obviously proved we were equally as talented, given the fact we pummeled them at home the SAME season. It's highly improbable to beat an equally talented team consecutively in ANY sport. 2011 is still one of the best teams EVER in college football - do not forget this. It's just a shame two of the best teams ever played in the same season, same conference, same division :lol:

Sure - we're the underdogs this season; but as before-mentioned, we lost half of our starters from last year. We will recover very soon. Les is a damn strong recruiter.

That is the fighting spirit to have sir - with a less melancholy tone of course :cheers:

It was a tough loss, but the future is brighter than ever for LSU. Bama is on a steep cliff - just remember that LSU fans. There is no decline for them; it will be a demoralizing collapse.

Easily A - if you do not pick this, you're missing the big picture.

To all those who want to argue with me - how many coaches at LSU have done the following in only 7 years?

1. Appeared in two national championships, winning one
2. Finished 1st in SEC West 3 times (2nd every other year except 1)
3. Won 2 SEC championships

I'll be waiting :)

No, Le$ Mile$ is NOT a great man. No one at Michigan, Colorado, the Cowboys or Okie St. holds this view of Le$. No one.

You have no basis in fact to make this statement. You're pathetically searching for SOMETHING/ANYTHING that you think allows you to say Mile$ is better than Saban. This isn't it.

I thought I was abundantly clear in my opening post, when I praised Nick Saban as the greatest head coach of the BCS era, but perhaps I fell short in delivering that message.

My intention was not to degrade Saban's legacy, or persuade anyone to believe Miles is a superior coach - but simply state that both are great coaches. Am I not entitled to the opinion that Les MIles is a goodhearted man, who exemplifies integrity on and off the field? How come so many of his former players think of him as a father figure and would gladly play for him again? Certainly they wouldn't make these bold statements if my claim had no merit? I do not recall Les Miles ever slandering an entire state or culture shortly after leaving a team, do you?

Les Miles is the most popular coach in college football for good reason - and LSU is lucky enough to have him on board. We need to appreciate him as long as he stays here.
