I think the thing that really stings, is that they took Hallman over Spurrier.



Don't let it get to you to bad. Spurrier was passed over for Archer not Hallman. Archer was hired at the recommendation of Arnsparger who just went down to Gainsville to talk, but while talking he decided to be the A.D. at Florida.

Shortly after Hallman was hired, we had him at a function to welcome him to LSU. I by chance happened to be standing with him as we went through the buffet. As I was sitting down after listening to him, I said to myself, it is obvious that I don't know anything about football because the smart people that hired this man must know something that I don't. I thought he was amoung the stupidest people I had ever met based on that 5 minute conversation.

After I observed his coaching, I realized that I did know more about football than he did.

Also, he said one of the most brilliant things at that get-together.

He said that the LSU program was in such bad shape that it was going to take years before it got better and things were going to be worst in the next couple of years.

That statement allowed the adminsitration to think that he was improving the program the first few years.

But now we know the idiot was a disaster.

Asw I said in post some time ago, Spurrier was not only not given the coaching position instead of Archer, he was highly insulted and taken to the Capital instead of the LSU campus when he arrived in Baton Rouge, While there and being call a boy that doesn't understand Louisiana politics, Archer was named coach at the suggestion of Arnsparger.
