re: What caused LSU Football's putrid 90's run?

the death of Bo Rein plays a major part in this. Set the program back 20 years probably

Rein dies. Stovall hired as emergency. Stovall was a great recruiter- the rest meh

Broadhead comes in and cans Stovall, bringing in Arnsbarger who was a fine coach, did not like the recruiting part of CFB

BA wanted to become AD at LSU. Power play between those two results in Archer. good man, decent DC but too young at the time. Wasn't a bad hire, most agreed with keeping that mid 80s run going.

LA was different then as well. The rules did not assist LSU or Archer.

Hallman's hiring was suppose to be about "discipline"....remember the put your earrings in a box and send them to mama crap???

Hallman was the worst coach in LSU history, hired by the cheapest AD in history.

He actually thought he deserved a 5th year. Thank goodness only 50k showed for his last home game and they pulled the plug.

Dinardo did good things but was too micro-manager kind style and did not delegate well.


all these guys came cheap. LSU started winning when money was loosened up but all of the nonsense would not have occurred if Rein had lived. He was THE hot head coach and was a great pick by Dietzel. Too bad we never got to see him make LSU the program that it is today.

I've always felt if Bo had lived, those 20 years would have been so different....1980-2000.....20 years of crazy and bad decisions

The fact that this is an accurate CHAIN OF EVENTS (and I'm not really disputing that it is), does not mean Bo Rein's death CAUSED the demise of the LSU football program in the 90s.
