I really don't understand why people think Arnsbarger was so great. He never lost (or tied) fewer then three games a season and he lost to Miami...of Ohio. His teams were complete garbage in bowl games.

Nick Saban never lost or tied fewer than three games in his first three seasons at LSU, and he lost to Alabama... Birmingham.

Arsparger was absolutely a great defensive coach. Every coaching staff he was a part of fielded great defenses. You should look up Miami Dolphins "No Name" defense and undefeated season. As for his record at LSU, he did very well with the talent that he had, and played Tom Osborne's Nebraska twice in bowl games, and very good Baylor team coached by Grant Teaff in the other bowl appearance.
