He was literally the worst coach they ever had. Truly. He went 3-21 in the SEC. That's worse than Hallman's first three years. On top of that, he's never been a coordinator and has zero reputation for tactical prowess. There is no mystery. Again, LSU would not have hired him if they could have gotten their first or second choice.

There are tons of great coaches who imploded in their first gig. Belichik and Carroll come to mind.
Bottom line is not many coaches were going to win with that roster. Aside from Willis, they had absolutely zero talent. He landed top recruiting classes while he was there which laid the foundation for Nutt's early success. I think he takes too much blame for the time he was there and gets too little credit for the foundation he built revealed after he was fired. He also admitted to doing a ton of growing in those years. He tried to recreate USC in Oxford with players like Michael Spurlock at QB. The approach was completely different when he took SC over in 2013 and it showed.
