LSU was fricking cheap. Didn't invest in any infrastructure, coaches, anything. Run like a mom and pop business. Didn't invest in the product and it showed. Even with Gerry D, LSU went cheap. Too much political BS was involved as well.


Yep- You nailed it! Luckily, we have finally learned to be Big Time, you have to invest $$ as well. It is after all, a big business. There will always be some politics involved (we are talking La.!) but at least common sense has finally prevailed and we have stayed at or near the top consistently.

Firing Mack was step one of heading to the Dark Ages. People wanted him to be successful, instead of going 8-3 every year... only to find out going 8-3 every year IS being successful. LSU could have improved after firing Mack and hiring Rein... but that plane crash changed everything and lead to the series of substitute teachers running the program in to the ground.

But Hallman is a special level of terrible.
