i also think that later on, fulmer lost touch with something; whether it was the game as a whole or his ability to adapt. only time will tell if miles suffers the same fate. but lsu right now somewhat resembles tenn in the late 90's/early 00's.

Fulmer is really the best analogy. They were an elite team in the mid to late 90's, several top 10 seasons topped off with a NC in 98 and won 2 SEC C, 98 and 97. After winning the NC in 98 they went 9-3, 8-4. In 2001 they would have been in the BCS CG but lost to LSU in the SEC CG. They were good after that, played in 2 more SEC CG, but have not been to a BCS bowl since 98. Is that where LSU is headed? Stay tuned.
