Overall I like Dinardo. He set the table for the resurgence of the early 2000's. In many respects, he is responsible for getting people interested in LSU football again with his bring back the magic campaign. He got LSU into some bowl games after they had been missing for years.

Lou Tepper was ultimately his downfall. Lou Tepper got his reputation on the backs of Kevin Hardy and Simeon Rice at Illinois. His linebacking philosophy works with those monsters at LB. With Thomas Dunson at LB, not so much.

and this.

ultimately i think i have a postive view of him bc my freshman yr was curley's last yr and so i attended LSU during his tenure and there were some good times in comparison to curley's tenure.

i stand by the fact that if it were not for dinardo showing that one could succeed here, maybe saban never comes here, and maybe the golden age of LSU football 2001-present never happens.

it's also my argument to anyone who think that any idiot could do well at LSU. it's a testament to what saban built on top of what dinardo started and most impressively what miles has done to maintain and build even more.
