Curley was just awful. DiNardo started to get things going, but he hired Lou Tepper as defensive coordinator and our defense under Sweet Lou was abysmal. DiNardo never recovered.

I agree that more than any other single factor that determined his fate at LSU was hiring/retaining Tepper.

Some other non-insignificant factors:
1) Faneca leaving early after '97. '98 was supposed to have been a banner year. We had so many close games in '98 where a play or series would have made a difference.
2) Losing Cecil Collins - a real difference maker.
3) Losing OC Morris Watts and not replacing him.
