When did LSU become fricking Notre Dame? Before Saban they were a mid-tier SEC school, and now they fire top-5 coaches when they've only won them 1.

In typical ESPN fashion, this has been greatly misrepresented.

What was originally said was,"we expect to COMPETE for national championships". Not expect them exclusively.

It really is intellectually dishonest to compare LSU then to LSU now, for a multitude of reasons. LSU didn't pump the money into the program to maximize the natural resources of this state, which whether you like it or not, is the top NFL producing state per capita with no major program to split with. The institution of the "tradition fund" and creation of TAF all started the growth at the turn of the century. LSU now all of a sudden had money to build facilities, expand the recruiting budget, and attracted the top coaches (LSU has the highest paid staff). The results? Two National championships, 4 SEC championships, BCS bowl births etc. LSU is now a place that, yes like Alabama, can succeed at the highest level with the right coach. To ignore that is just simply dishonest.

However, the quote from that booster isn't a fair appraisal of the situation. No program is above down years, and no program can reasonably "expect" to win national championships on a dynastic level. It's rare and takes the combination of those resources, and the right coach (see alabama). What LSU fans are mad about is, what appears to be two straight years of being ranked outside the top 25. A 13-11 SEC record over the last 4 years. When you watch LSU, even in wins, you wonder how prepared or well-coached they are. LSU is constantly mocked for this by the likes of the sec rant. LSU is 1-10 as the underdog the last 4 years. The list goes on and on.

The totality of those things make it unacceptable for LSU fans going forward. It's pretty obvious where Miles is taking us, and hell yea we think we can do better.

Les Miles accounts for 1/3 of their national championships. Hopefully this will be like Tennessee without Fulmer, Miami without Coker, or Texas without Mack Brown. This never works out and I am happy about this.

How can you compare LSU of the past to where it is now?

You don't think programs change?

You don't think the culture of a program changes?
