LSU should be better. Just about everyone is coming back, Burrow will be more experienced, we're plugging some holes on the lines, and we'll have a real stud at RB that we missed this year, and we have a much more favorable schedule to contend with.

That being said, just because things on paper look easier for us, for O, the pressure on him is going to get ramped up big time. If he fails to win 10/11+ reg season games and make a strong case for the playoffs, he's going to have a very hard time explaining that one away.

I can see us winning 11 games next season, but we're not beating Bama. If O gets a legit OC then maybe I'll reassess.

Next season will probably be our best shot at the playoffs for a while. It's exciting but also frustrating because we're a legit OC hire away from a very special season. Damn it Orgeron, do what's best for the program and remove Ensminger!
