He's pretty much speaking the truth. When Saban took over at LSU who in the SEC was dominant besides Florida. Spurier left pretty quick and they went into a few "down" years. LSU started the SEC coach price war. Not until Saban got the big contract did SEC schools start paying that much for coaches. The SEC is a LOT and I mean a LOT better top to bottom now and for the past 4 years.

Give me a break. You must just hate LSU or have no clue how to judge football teams. UNC won't stay on the field with us. We will have an experienced QB next year and a better running game. 10-2 minimum. We beat Florida in the swamp, book it.

According to a couple of HS coaches I know that work LSU summer camps, Coach Porter moving on will help. They said that he was the hardest person to get along with on the staff and that most of the staff and players didn't get along with him. He never saw eye to eye with Crowton on running game issues so that caused some problems. The only running back he favored was CS and KW and SR couldn't stand him. This is one of the reasons KW didn't see much playing time.

I think the offensive staff will be more together this year on things.

Please give it a rest.

What does "throw down field" actually mean? Aren't most passes down the field? Saying throw down field is like saying catch the punt or tackle that guy or run towards the end zone. I get so tired of hearing "throw down the field". Do you mean throw deep? If so what solves anything by throwing deep all the time?

Saban is winning with Shula's recruits. How is that different from Miles winning with Saban's recruits? Miles went 9-3 this year with his recruits and a 19 year old QB. Let's see what happens next year to start making these assumptions.

Record was 9-4 when he won the Heisman. Hardly competing for the NC.

Nobody would be. That's a lot of what ifs. None of that is going to happen. Who will our 5 losses be to? Fans would turn on any coach if those scenarios came to be.

Good Special Teams and a positive turnover margin.

Give me a freaking break. Miles record while at LSU is of "Elite" status. Don't give me this "he won with Saban's" recruits junk. Saban is winning with Shula's recruits right now. All of his 5th yr Sr.'s, Sr.'s, and Red-shirt Jr.s are all Shula recruits. The only reason LSU fans don't like Miles is because he's not Saban. If Saban was at LSU the past 2 years with the same records nobody would be saying the program was in decline. This is really getting ridiculous.

And by the way Nebraska really tore it up after Solich was fired, they have sucked ever since. Including this year. Their division is a joke and they are going to get smoked by Texas.

"I wish i had a dollar for everytime I have read the above words."


Tell what was Colt McCoy's record in his true Sophomore year as a 19 year old? What about John Parker Wilson? What about Chris Leak? What about David Greene? Peyton Manning was 11-1 in his sophomore year and Tebow won the Heisman in his but those guys only come around once every 10 years. JJ is going to be better with age and experience you can't argue with that. If you want to watch and see next year or the year after. Maybe you will realize you don't know what you are talking about after that.

Our point of attack needs improvement. Defensive Line improves and the yardage allowed will improve. We have a great secondary and good linebackers. If the DL is not getting sacks or plugging runs teams are going to get yardage. As the field gets shorter secondaries and linebackers have more of an effect. I know that sounds weird but they don't have to worry about deep threats when teams are at the 15 yard line. The DBs can play up and the linebackers can play closer to the line and less in pass coverage.

LSU's DL should be better next year and you will see an improvement in yardage given up.

I think we should all be pumped about the rest of this season and beginning of next year. If we win out, and we should, we would finish the year on a 4 game winning streak (we'll win the bowl). Ranked in the top 5 more than likely. Head into next season with a returning Jr. QB, talented RBs, Russell Shepard, Rueben Randle, a lot of the defense back, Patrick Peterson!!, (hopefully C Jones). That puts us legitimately in the NC hunt. We catch Bama and Ole Miss at home next year and play a Teabow-less Florida on the road. Plus all of that talent will be more mature, most of our really good players are still underclassman, except Lafell.

We will probably be ranked in top 4 for sure. A lot of what ifs but its better to start out as high as possible to have some equity in case you drop one early on, at Florida for instance. Next year could be great.

Yeah sorry about the "beleave". I'm tired.

I know this will stir some "what ifs" but what if? You have to beleave there is the possibility they will come calling. I'm not saying, but I'm just saying......
