Why do LSU fans think they deserve better than Les?

From 2010 - 2014, LSU won 10+ games in 4 out of the 5 seasons, won 1 SEC championship, and had one of the best seasons in college football history. This year, if the first game of the season had not been canceled, they'd be on pace for another likely 10 win season, although they still may get there even with the canceled game. Miles is 6-4 in bowl games including a win in the BCSCG and a win in the Sugar Bowl. LSU will have gone to a bowl game in each of Miles' 11 seasons at LSU.

So what exactly do LSU fans think they "deserve?" You guys think you should be winning the SEC and getting in the CFP at least once every three seasons? Good luck finding a coach who will be able to accomplish that goal in the SEC West. Saban does it, but there are no other Saban's out there to be had.

You guys really think your justified in paying $13M to fire Miles, probably pay some more to fire the assistants, and then take on a whole new payroll including paying $4M/year for a new coach? Wasn't LSU having budget issues?

Hell, before Alabama, I don't think you guys could be any happier. Now just because LSU loses 2 games against 2 of the toughest teams in college football everything has gone to shite? You aren't George Steinbrenner and LSU isn't the NY Yankees - you can't justify expecting championships every year.

I understand why it would be difficult for an Arkansas fan to identify with elite expectations

They think they are an elite program when in reality they are merely second tier.

In other words, they are delusional.

Yes. This is what tRant wants. Its not exactly the most realistic expectation.

Too long, but a much better effort overall

I say it all the time when fans say they "deserve" better. Why do you think you deserve better? We have the best coach who ever coached AT LSU (Saban wasn't the Saban he is now at LSU) and all y'all do is whine and complain because he doesn't win how you like and turn on the program every time there is a bump in the road, and I won't even go into the way they treat some of the players because they didn't play good enough in their eyes. Jennings didn't play well and probably not a SEC caliber QB but some of the personal attacks on him were horrible. So no i don't think LSU fans "deserve" better.

We could say the same for bama before the Saban era began but we won't speak on that

Arkansas fans are getting worse than A&M fans. Talk shite when y'all get to the SEC championship or even get close to sniffing a national championship. Arkansas do y'all realize 6-4 is not a good record right

TL;DR but LSU fans want to win a National Championship.

10+ win seasons are good an all, but moral victories are for Arky and Aggy fans.

I stopped right there.

Nobody has any confidence that Les has the ability to get those kind of results again. if we did this is not a conversation that would be happening.

He deserves to be fired for losing to a shite Arkansas squad two years in a row. Lucky it wasn't three. Now mind your own fricking business.

If LSU is 2nd tier then what does that make Aggy? 4th tier? 5th tier? worse than that?

He's won 10+ games in 7 out of 10 seasons, and may do it again this year to make it 8/11. Just a few weeks ago LSU fans thought LSU was streamrolling to a great season; so just because LSU lost to a great Bama and Arkansas team everything is thrown out the window?

And there's the truth. LSU fans hate Arkansas so much and think their program is so much better that losing to Arkansas twice in a row justifies firing their best coach of all time.
