Pretty cool interview. The late 90's hold alot of LSU memories for me. Say what you want about Coach Dinardo, but he did have some big wins back when any wins were glorious. LOL
I did not know the part about NCAA transfer rules for other sports beside Football, Mens and Womens Basketball, Hockey and Baseball. That was really surprising.

And dont give my son any SH$*, he is 12 and loves Sports Reporting.
When I was 12 I was trying to see how far I could let a spit go before sucking it back up.

That’s a badass experience for anybody, much less a 12 year old. CSB, happy for your kid

Your son's spot on Off The Bench was pretty funny. Especially when he tells T-Bob and Jacob he's a Cowboys fan at 5:45

Bring back the magic!
Gerry had the idea of locking down the state before Nick did and 2003 never happens without him.
Dinardo had Faulk, Cecil, and Rondell Mealey all in the same backfield at one point

Some will disagree, but Dinardo put us on the road to success. Things were bleak before he got here.

Did some decent things, but once his coordinator hires went to crap (Lou Tepper anyone) and he refused to hire Rich Rodriquez (one of the original spread architects) his gate was sealed.

Thanks alot, he loves T-Bob and Jacob. I am scared to talk infront of 4 or more people but this kid loves to talk and just flows with it.
Hopefully he stays with it. He has been very lucky and been able to interview alot of big time players, coaches and other media members.

Amen. As a child of the Hallman years I didn’t think I’d ever see some of the nights in Tiger Stadium we were treated to. It’s like they were a myth until Auburn 95.

I’ve never heard that one but that’s very interesting if true.
Given rich rod was/is true spread option not air raid spread he would have fit a lot of what dinardo wanted to do just doing it in a different formation

I became an LSU Tiger fan during the Dinardo years. I still remember bring back the magic. The Hallman years sucked so bad.

They did, but if you became a fan during that era and there was nothing before it it was still special.

Dinardo brought back the “white shirts” for home games.

That’s a great story. And I know you are proud of your son.
My brother interviewed DiNardo once when he was at Vanderbilt. The interview was going great until my brother told him he was a little small for an offensive lineman. Interview over right then and there. I guess he hurt his feelings. Lol.

Didn't listen, but I'd say he's a million times better than Moscona.

Didn't all three have 200 yard games?

Coach Dinardo is my favorite LSU football coach. For those of us old enough to remember, the 90s were awful. Coach Dinardo set us on track and brought us out of the pits if HELL! He might not have won a National Championship, but I respect him greatly for "Bringing Back the Magic" and the traditional white jersey for home games.

Yep. Mealey had 222 yards in the Indy Bowl vs. Notre Dame. It was an Indy Bowl record.
