Should Archer have been kept longer in your opinion?


yes. I don't think he would have lasted but he should have be given another year IMO.

he was rather unknown at the time and it never got close to him being hired.

Im not saying Archer was some great coach who would have been here forever, no. But I think he would have done better than Curley did.

Just gets crapped on by LSU fans for really no reason.

Are you serious? Were you even alive when Archer was hired? I was. I was at LSU all 4 years he was HC. I saw the Decline in real-time. The talent gap was noticeably worse every year. Bobby Bowden used to show recruits a video of Archer when asking them if they could really go play for that guy, meaning the moribund speaker who had no charisma.

Archer was the Program Devastator, as we began to call him, even while watching Curley ineptly take the helm and continue the struggle of the program. Curley's problem wasn't recruiting, it was everything else.
