re: Why (and who)built the culture of playing for yourself at LSU? facts included

Unfortunately I think a good bit of this is still happening and won’t stop. The problem with this is, you need great recruiting classes every year and you can’t miss on the guys you get. You also need low turnover and LSU hasn’t had either of these recently in terms of turnover in personnel and missing on some talent evaluations. What is happening now is what you’re going to get, every few years you’ll amass talent and experience and it leads to a result like last year. Then you’ll experience this year every few years because of loss of players, transfers and misses in talent. Obviously good coaching plays a big part in this also.
