It should be noted that when Spurrier applied, his only head coaching experience was with the Tampa Bay Bandits of the USFL. He won there but wasn't the slam dunk choice for LSU some would make him out to be. He would have gone to Florida eventually, imo
----------------------------------------------------------
I get this.
However, it is a good topic for "what if".
Do you think LSU would have had the same kind of run UF did?
Or, do you think Spurrier whould have struggled like Archer?
Or, this question should be moved to the movie board. There, we let the "Back to the Future" fans conceptualize numerous potential alternative realities that could have played out, had Spurrier been hired at LSU.

Bordy, I like your "what if" spurrier question. IMO we would have done well but NOT had a UF run, nor would we have IMO had an FSU run if we got Bowden in 1980. The reason is LSU was not ready, Joe Dean, the ADept the Univ was not ready to committ $$$ etc yet. Again, we would have been much better off, but it took Dinardo getting the facilties started, Emmeret stepping up, the A Dept (Skip, Verge etc.) and lots of $$$ from a stepped up TAF when General R got there and pwoerful men like TAF Pres Guy from Shaw industries to all get behind the $$$ and univ support to get Saban what he needed to help get us to next step...just imo...

Because of his offensive system and the type of athletes Louisiana produces, I believe he would have thrived at LSU. His defensive coordiators would have made or broken him every year in the final poll standings, but offensively, we would have led the league for a decade. As much as I dislike him, he would have been almost the perfect hire at the time.
I like Archer, but he was too young and completely unproven.
