hat's because of crappy and gutless hiring of HCs. We hired Dubose (who had just one year experience as a DC) because of a freaking fax campaign by the fanbase...a freaking fax campaign. His inexperience allowed the rogue boosters to run the recruiting trail, which landed us on probation. Then we were screwed because no decent coach in their right mind wanted to go through the sanctions, so we had to hire a freaking glorified QBs coach to take the job. Throw in a coward and a drunken fool in between.
Hopefully we learned from our past mistakes when it comes to hiring our HC.
And what happens if you hire Kirby Smart ?

ND is a nation wide recruiter, so is Michigan, bama now is also, but bama could stay regional and not drop off the others not so much. Texas, LSU could stay in state except for 3 or 4 recruits a year and dominate. These southwest schools aren't going anywhere. A down year here and there doesn't mean the team is in decline but reloading for the next.

If LSU doesn't contend this year, they would be considered as an underachieving program on the same level as UGA. Three straight years without sniffing a West Championship should be unacceptable.

Hopefully we would go after the best available HC.
It all depends on if a top level coach wants to step into Saban's shadow directly after he leaves.
But if we do decide to try and see if Smart can keep Saban's program going (again I hope we don't), as long as he isn't so naive that he lets boosters run our recruiting, he'd be better than Dubose. Smart getting fired after three years won't kill our program, but him getting us on probation would.

We didn't sniff the West in 2012?

Two losses and tied with A&M is not the level I would consider Championship play. Follow that up with a loss in the CFB. Were LSU Fans happy with those results ?

The trend is toward Offensive Coaches over the next few years. That is why I said this is the critical year for Smart. If his Defense has problems with the HUNH Teams again, the ship might have sailed for him at Bama.

Were Auburn fans happy with the results in the BCSNC Title game against Fla. St.? Auburn will always be known as the team that didn't have the chest to keep the SEC BCSNC Title streak alive.

Too bad no other SEC team was good enough to get there like Auburn, huh?

There ya go pal. Glad I could help.

History says it won't be Bama.
Neither LSU, auburn or A&M have ever approached Alabama's record as a consistently elite CFB program. Not even close.

I didn't expect better from the SECRant, FWIW.

Yep. Go back and read your buddy and his posts.
I see low hanging fruit around here and pluck a piece off the tree. Grow a spine or GTFO of here.

Without sniffing it? I recall being very close to a west championship and possibly national ship a couple years ago in deathvalley. If LSU wins that game things would of been much diff. That's pretty darn close IMO

I've been here through a 3-9 season, bitch. I was here throughout all of the Cam Newton drama and the ATPB thread. You're a little pest in comparison.

I think you just TT'd on your self, go get ya TT towel bro. LSU isn't going anywhere that's a bet!! Cam and Les are putting this thing together...... May be taking longer then it should of but who cares? Everyone knows LSU is and will be a power to deal with, ask any coach or opponent of LSU not some butt hurt rival fan 
show me all those five star recruits committed 4 and 5 years in advance? Pretty sure LSU has a few I can show you.
