re: For the old-timers...when did Cholly Mac first get on the hot seat?

And after we got rid of Cholly Mac, we had some momentary successes in a few seasons

In the nine seasons after we got rid of Cholly Mac, we did better than we did in the last nine seasons he was here. More SEC titles, more bowls, more major bowls, better overall record, better SEC record, etc. Everything got better after Mac left for almost a decade, but then...

but we got Archer, Hallman, and Dinardo.

That started eight years after Mac was gone, and the real dark ages didn't start until ten years after. Firing McClendon had nothing to do with it. He would have been long retired by then anyway. It was the idiotic decision to have a moronic faculty committee hire Mike Archer as a replacement for Bill Arnsparger while we didn't have a permanent AD that caused the downfall of LSU football, and apparently set the standard by which all future LSU coaches are to be judged.
