Two gay guys named Bob.

The schools with the best average ranking over the last five years are Alabama and Georgia. Pretty happy with where we are by comparison. Clemson had the 10th ranked class for 2019 and their five year average rank is 10th.
You think maybe we put too much stock in the rankings? Is the gap between 1 and 4 really that great...No!

Go back and look at every long touchdown run, defensive players were out of position. You cannot tell me that Chaisson was not coached and does not know that he has outside containment on the second touchdown, see pics below. Chaisson goes for the fake and allows Plumlee to get outside, no way Logan can make that play. These were mental mistakes and players not doing their assignment, not a problem with our defensive coordinator. The players have to execute, it does not matter how good your DC is if the players don't do their job.

The key variable in this situation is that the play resulted in a first down, making it a moot point. If the play had not resulted in a first down, Auburn could decline the penalty and it would have been second down....saving Auburn 40 seconds on the clock.

I cannot get over how people draw conclusions without basis. What is your reasoning behind labeling Jordan a punk? Sulking on a sideline?

Let me give you some insight. Jordan worked for me while pursuing his master's degree. He is a bright, intelligent young man who loves LSU in spite of the negativity of the fans. He is not responsible for anything that happened to TM. He is not a punk and he was not a terrible quarterback. If you are honest and look back objectively at the chaos and indecision with the QB position and the offense in general, not even Joe Burrow could have been as successful under those conditions as he is now.

I will never understand attacking someone and/or name calling because they do not live up to your expectations of the position or win as many games as you would like. Crazy.

Happy to see all the appreciation for the Jefferson family.

I rarely post, but I enjoy reading this site on a daily basis. I appreciate the passion of the fans here and the diversity of opinions. It amazes me that we can all watch the exact same game and yet see things so differently. It makes for a great and interesting forum. How much fun would it be if everyone agreed and this site was nothing but patting each other on the back.

I would like to pose a question. Is the only gauge of a successful coach wins and losses? Do we only rely on these 13 or so data points....at least in the first year or two? Does seeing the team grow and improve game to game have any value? If the Tigers come out prepared and play to the best of their ability, should that be a consideration at the end of the day? I think maybe it should. I can remember times in the past being happy that we won but not happy with the the first 59 minutes of the game....Blue Grass Miracle is a good example. And vice versa, I've seen some losses where I was proud of the effort and saw the team play as well as they can.....sometimes you just get beat....sometimes factors out of your control determine whether you are 10-3 or 8-5. If we are honest, LSU has won and lost games due to very questionable calls or circumstances (2010 LSU/Tennessee game). Yet, if only wins and losses are our gauge, the data is flawed.

I was not happy the the coaching hire, however, I am not ready to pass judgement. Time will tell.

Best Skip story I ever heard, unfortunately I don't remember who was pitching and catching, Skip goes to the mound and says "You two are ruining the game of baseball" then goes back to dugout.

IMO, that is Miles' biggest CON....doesn't seem to have a good ability to evaluate talent. One would think that after the last two seasons of dismal QB play, he would have scoured the JC's and found someone that could run the offense.

Wouldn't 4th quarter fireworks be a CON?

Edit: It's on both, must have missed that.

Let me preface by saying that I'm not advocating firing Miles, but I do disagree with the notion that Miles cannot be replaced by a good candidate. Keeping him around because you fear not finding a qualified replacement isn't justifiable.

This is an example of past success or lack of, not being a good predictor of future outcome. Because your success rate is less than average doesn't mean that you stop striving to improve or that you don't make a move you feel is necessary because it didn't work well in the past. The circumstances have changed since the Archer/Hallman/DiNardo years. Our last two hires have proven that you can have tremendous success at LSU.

But if you want to use history to make the point, then it could be argued just as convincingly that over the last ten years LSU has made very good coaching hires and that we are 2 for 2.
