re: Worst LSU coach in history?

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
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.

Under Arnsparger, we went 8-3-1 in his first year (1984) and should have been named SEC champs that year since Florida was put on probation and we went to the Sugar Bowl as the SEC champ. LSU was 4-7 in 1983 and 0-6 in the SEC in Stovall's final year. In 1985 Tennessee won the SEC, but lost to Florida (on probation) and finished with a 5-1 SEC record as did Florida.

I'm pretty confident Arnsparger would have done at least as good as 10 wins in 1987 with the same schedule (including bowl assignment).
