LSU fans have unrealistic expectations. They think their new coach is going to come in next year and compete for the National Championship. Those unrealistic expectations are the #1 problem with LSU football.

well LSU has competed for the national championship 3 times in the last 12 seasons while also going to the SEC championship in 2005, and we're last minute touchdown against Alabama from going again in 2012. Being the SEC champion makes you a NC contender. The past few years have been tough by LSU standards becausethe game passed up Les Miles. LSU has recruited better than any SEC team other than Alabama over the last 3 years though so it's not far fetched to believe LSU will be very good with the right coach. Anyone who believes otherwise is just being a miserable troll.

Did you think that through when you typed it? The standard is excellence. That is a national championship. Don't act like Alabama is the only team to have figured that out. Alabama and LSU are not that far apart in regards to talent on the field (with the exception of OL and QB - light years apart). Overall the difference is minute. The biggest difference is coaching. Alabama has (arguably) the GOAT. Period.

Arrogance personified. Seriously.

Talent is there. Not crazy to think that a competent coach makes a contender. It's actually rational

Having Saban for a few short years have warped their perspective on their historical and current significance.

Les Miles really backed into the 2nd one, only driving the point home.

Yes, they are elite, in that they get elite talent. But they've been wasting it. Getting the right coach will be key.
