I still don't know how he ran the program into the ground so quickly.
cheese fries. never getting out of the dug out to argue a call(you lose respect from players like that). and recruiting mostly high school players that were guranteed to be picked in the top 5 rounds of the draft.
Most of this was due to Turtle Thomas' recruiting style. Contrary to popular opinion, the program started sliding a couple of years before (around the time Turtle came to LSU) Smoke arrived. I don't think that Turtle and Smoke were on the same page in recruiting. Smoke is a very good baseball mind and good coach, but things didn't work out here.

Turtle's recruiting class cannot be matched by any.
Too bad none of them ever arrived on campus.
