3) Did Mike Archer find out he was fired from the press and not Joe Dean?


I've heard this too - I was at LSU for the dark days that followed..... I'd love to know if this is true as well!

I was there at the time JPB (and I was a Raider in '89 and '90) - and I believe this story is true or, at the very least, Archer's people alleged this at the time. I'm not sure, but I believe Bob Broadhead (no fan of Joe Dean) said this as well.

That is the way the LSU AD was run at the time. We were fortunate to have had Pat Henry, Dale Brown and Skip Bertman already locked up. Joe Dean couldn't hire a quality coach if he had a "quality coach hiring machine".
