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.

You're a cherry picker. Not addressing all of the facts.
Recruiting wise, I have stated many of the HIGHLY RATED texas players recruited by Archer did not pan out here. His recruiting classes were highly ranked. You make no reference to the Prop 48 restrictions the SEC had that Bobby Bowden and FSU didn't have. No mention of FSU being able to take every non qualifier that LSU had to turn away. So there were other issues with recruiting.
You use the NFL draft as a example of bad recruiting yet no mention of Hallman running off many Archer recruits because they wouldn't send their "earrings back to their momma in a box".
Curley recruited, never said he didn't. But he didn't retain and that 2 and fricking 9 season will forever be at his feet cause he ran players off cause they wore fricking jewelry.
I've stated that Archer was not great by any means. But the 90's would have been a much better decade for this program if Archer had been fired after 91 instead of 90. There would have been no curley, who you seem to think had success here

I was there too brother. Tigers who were students from that era truly appreciate (or at least most of them) the current golden age of LSU Football.

There was one bright spot there,at least the then negatigers got rid of Charley mac, but in fairess It was the sports writers led by the town talk who led that fiasco !!
