I do think Archer was in over his head, but 1986-87 are the two best years LSU had in a 30 year span

He was the coach for our best two seasons in a 30 year span


Baloo, in 1986 (9-3) Arnsparger was the head coach and his previous year, 1985, LSU finished 9-2-1
Archer's first year was 1987 (10-1-1)
Archer's second season 1988 we finished 8-4, then 4-7 in 1989 and 5-6 in 1990.

So the same record, but Archer managed a 10-win season and an SEC title in those two years. Arnparger won one SEC title as well (1986). I'll take Archer's first two years over Arnsparger's last two.

And I do think Arnsparger is the better coach, but we accomplished more under archer's peak.
