To those trying to tell LSU fans what our expectations should be:

That's 22 top 10 finishes (not including 11ths obviously) in the 82 years of the AP polls existence, or over 25% of the time we field a team we finish top 10
No we are not Alabama, but I think it's ok for us to expect better than 2-2, and 4-5 in our last 9 games.
TLDR, Downvote, whatever makes you sleep better at night. Ignorance is bliss for SECrant trolls

You just fired the guy responsible for the biggest chunk of all that success

Yes that was a rough stretch. Note this is only top 10 finishes, I could post top 15 and top 20 but you'd have a lot more scrolling to do

When did they expand the top 10 to include #11?

You're the third best job in the SEC (behind Bama and Florida), the one upside that might push you over the other two for a coach is lower fan expectations (watch Mac be gone from Gainesville after 2017 if recruiting stays fringe top 10 and he doesn't make a BCS bowl)

You're rustled as frick to look all of that up. And I'm not even gonna click any of it.

Did not include those in the 21 count. Put asterisks to show they were not actually top 10.
Used them as a references to show we were extremely close in that stretch

Dude Texas is on the top of EVERY "best job in college football" list and they got their fourth choice. Welcome to 2016.

agreed, Les deserves a lifetime contract, regardless of how the team looks or will look.

I'm going to start linking in threads from Bama's coaching search.
