What if DiNardo had fired Tepper after the '98 UK game ?

Tuberville's mid-season dismissal of a new coordinator (who had also coached the bowl game the prior season) got me thinking. Honestly,even after the Auburn win in Sept,that defense was shaky.The Georgia game proved it and the Kentucky fiasco reinforced it.

May have beaten Ole Miss,Alabama and Notre Dame. Team would have been 7-4 and then a bowl . Who knows about 1999 ?

Maybe it turned out for the best that we lived through that nightmare.

LSU isnt where it is today if Tepper is fired and the 98 and 99 teams are 6-5, 7-4 type teams. We needed to hit rock bottom and have the program rebuilt from the ground up

Had Dinardo been able to keep Reese and Watts around I think he may have gotten at least to the SECCG by 01 if not earlier. Anyway, I googled Reese and came actoss a 98 season preview from SI. Funny stuff:

Tepper will be more conservative and more consistent. Says Wesley, "If Coach Tepper tells us to do something one way in September, I expect we'll still be doing it that way in November."


Little did we know that meant Tepper would be telling the boys to give 15 yds of cushion all year.
