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 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.

:geauxtigers:

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 :)
