re: What caused LSU Football's putrid 90's run?

There was no talent in Louisiana in the Mike Archer era due to prop 48.
It is Hallman that loses out on a world of talent in the early 90's.
LSU under archer only lost Michael Carr (Clemson) and one other and no one from Louisiana make ALL-American when recruited out of state. Under Hallman you have a who's who in football going out of state.
Hallman was not a football coach, and had less interest in building a winner and coaching than his off field actives.
Archer was a family man and loved the players and loved coaching, but was saddle with the new NCAA rules and an era of very low talent in state.
Archer went out of state to recruit and every big time recruit turned into a bust, that is another story with many major players and LSU would not let him fill needs for JuCO which Texas A&M and Miss St did and both had good runs at the time due to this tactic.
Oh the other player Archer lost out on was Baron Jackson, my high school English teacher's son, who went to Pitt. Those are the only 2 major recruits LSU lost out on in the Archer era, that LSU recruited hard.

I actually did not realize this...I always thought archer just couldn't recruit because he wasn't much older than the players themselves...I'll have to do some reading...

There was a dip in talent and prop 48 was also a negative factor, but there was still talent in state, we just weren't get any of.

LSU under archer only lost Michael Carr (Clemson)
He also lost a guy named Michael Jackson from Kentwood. Dude was a 6'4" wide receiver that could fly. Went to Southern Miss and was eventually drafted in '91 by the Cleveland Browns. Had to retire at age 29 due to injuries, but had a few good seasons including tied for NFL lead in TD receptions (14) in 1996.

Ended up at Southern then his wife killed him. What a tragic waste.
