Last season, the LSU Tigers had a pretty successful season, especially compared to expectations, when they won the SEC West division and faced off against the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship game, which they ultimately lost. But it doesn’t sound like the Tigers are content with just a divisional title.
During the SEC coaches’ teleconference on Wednesday, LSU head coach Brian Kelly set some clear expectations for the LSU Tigers going forward, revealing that the goal is to win the whole conference.
“We got a banner, there’s no doubt. We cherish the banner. But this is really about winning the SEC. And certainly the West was a great accomplishment in the first year, but look we’re all here for championships. That’s what we’re all looking for is an SEC championship,” Kelly said according to On3.
Obviously, LSU is going to fall short of that goal this year as they are already eliminated from SEC title contention, but Kelly seems to have set up a strong program that hopes to be contending with teams like Alabama and Georgia for SEC titles for years to come.
We’ll have to see if LSU can get back into conference title contention next year.
