You sure about that? I "know" one way to get there. IN conference because that's what really matters. 2011 8-0 2012 6-2 2013 5-3 2014 4-4 2015 5-3 2016 5-3 33-15 (68.75%) Last 4 seasons, 19-13....Oops, that drops the number down to 59.375%. In four years, Les was barely above the .500 mark in conference. Nobody really cares when y'all beat up on Furman, Sam Houston, or Towson type mofuggers.
The entire college football world talks about SEC conference play, particularly in the SEC. Non-conference games filled with cupcakes mean shit if you want to talk coaching success. Yes, you were. A gross manipulation of the real story.....son. Do you know what bait and switch is? Based on your story, I presented LSU's conference record which, if bait and switch, would mean it was inferior compared to the overall record. Good to know. Lol. But you did. Why not include 2016? Why not highlight or at least acknowledge that conference play is the issue? Because it is, you know.
Nick's coached and polished recruits beat Bama. Les could have stayed home and watched it on tv. Same for the NC.
In his season at USC he beat 2 of the 3 ranked teams he faced. In his season at LSU he beat 3 of 5 ranked teams. DO you have anything else to bitch about? Can you do math? That is 62.5% in seasons where he had to step in and take over. No planning, nothing. Just taking the job as is and getting the kids to play. I am not saying he is a HOF coach, but he isnt some scrub-lord. There is enough talent and coaching on this team to win if he stays the hell out of the way. Just doing that would yield better results than lester. Hell, you can even use his record at Ole Piss and he is still better than half the conference.
