Plenty of reasons to be critical of DiNardo but I think you have to give him credit for being the first coach that started getting our Louisiana athletes to start staying at home. During that time period we were losing a ton of talent to Florida State, Miami, and others. It was a big deal that he was able to keep Kevin Faulk at home and it seemed like after that we weren't losing quite as many. Then once Saban got here we stop losing almost all the big talent.

A few of the most fun LSU games I've ever been to were the consecutive Independence bowls where Dinardo's teams beat Michigan St (coached by Saban) and Notre Dame.

Those wins were huge for getting kids from Louisiana wanting to come back to LSU and stop going to FSU, The U, and Penn St.
