the difference for lsu is we have a winning coach
who has stayed at lsu.

history will show lsu has not had elite coaches
stay at lsu. the best coaches in lsu football
all left at a point when they could have stayed
at lsu. the exception is les miles.

going back to the 1930's lsu had biff jones.
he had lsu near the top of the polls when he was
run off by huey long. he went on to put nebraska
on the football map

1960's paul dietzel's leaving at his prime
put lsu behind bama and a long run for the bear

1980's arnsparger if lsu administration had worked with him may have set lsu for good run
instead he went to florida.

2000's saban leaves. again lsu can not keep
a great coach.

then miles comes after saban. he has had two chances to go back to michigan. he is the
only elite coach to stay at lsu.

look at the coaches in sec history with most
wins. lsu coaches not very well represented.

for the first time we have had stability with
a coach really committed to lsu long term and
is winning at an all-time level at lsu

wrong. arnsparger wanted out of coaching and left to be the AD at florida. and he was a figurehead there. he would have sucked as AD at LSU and LSU did the right thing saying no. arnsparger was a damn good football coach (except in bowl games) but he should not be on this list. while the admin did good by letting him go they really sucked at selecting his replacement.
