Why? Started to build a good program, then stepped down as coach, then bolted for "Greener" pastures.
This started the 3 stooges reign of Archer, Curley,and DiNardo that became the decade of hell for LSU football.
How 'bout we kick him in the nuts instead.

I've had hemorrhoids that lasted longer than he did at LSU.
The only recognition he should get is whenever they recognized the 86 SEC Title team, he should be one of the people.

He did a good job while he was here.

He left us with Archer and went to Florida and hired spurrier.

There was no love lost when Bill left. He didn't like LSU and the administration and felt the athletic department was poorly run. He has a few valid points, but all in all do not expect "Uncle Bill Day" coming to a game anytime soon.
I would rather see Gerry DiNardo get recognized, or better yet....how about KEVIN FAULK APPRECIATION DAY

He did LSU dirty when he left, pushed for Archer to be his replacement so he could hire Spurrier at uf. He was a great coach and could've done great things at LSU but he chose the easy route, I doubt he is ever recognized individually, he may get a shout out for the 86 team but nothing individual.

I would love for Dinardo to be honored. Ive always considered him the foundation that Saban then Miles built upon. He was the springboard.

Agree 100%. He deserves some credit for putting LSU back on the map and getting things rolling for the next coach. I remember when he was hired my Mom asked me if I thought he would be a good coach, I told her I don't know if he can coach football but I think he'll be great for LSU

DiNardo may be the only coach in the history of LSU that left on the heels of crappy seasons, and/or made some really stupid hires (Tepper), but it still at least somewhat beloved by the fans.
I fall into this category. I like the guy, and when I think about him, I tend to remember the good times, as opposed to the time his defense made Quincy Carter look like Joe Montana.
I'm going to start a new thread about this. I want to see if I'm in the minority on this one.

sheet, the rain of boos from the older crowd would be epic.
that being said, I'm surprised mike archer ever comes back either.

Heard that Arnsparger sent a video in 1996 to the 1986 SEC Title team.

is he still alive? Gotta be in his 90's now.

I don't necessarily agree with this, since I'd be considered as part of the "older crowd", I think we are much more forgiving because we remember how bad it was before he got here and started to turn things around. A lot of the "younger crowd" have no clue how hard it was being a fan during the time before Dinardo and probably can't appreciate the overall picture.

Arnsparger didn't like to recruit, that's why he wanted to be an AD somewhere. Many accuse him of recommending that Archer be hired so he could go to Florida as AD and hire Spurrier. I have no idea if that is true or not. However, Archer was by LSU in 1987. Spurrier was hired by Duke in 1987, coached there through the '89 season and wasn't hired by Florida until '90.

This is true. We could honor him with the prestigious TAF Did A Good Job While He Was Here Award. 3 years max for coaches to qualify, 6 months for student athletes. Then we can name part of a parking lot after him.
