why have so many coaches failed to win at a high level in Baton Rouge? From 1971 though 2000
CFB was very different in the 70's, so that is not really relevant. The biggest reason for the underachieving before 2000 is LSU was not putting resources into the program. We hired bad coaches because our AD was running the Ath Dept on a shoe string budget. Once we started pouring resources into the program and hired a coach that could use the resources, we've been succesful. As long as that continues, LSU will continue to win.

Still, I think it's fair to hold a 30 year dry spell against LSU to the extent that its not a top 5 job, but still top 10. We lack the cachet of Notre Dame, even though they are now looking at a possible 30 year national title dry spell.
