Bad analogy. O may fail but completely different coach than Archer and both very different roads to become head coach.
Archer was recommended to be hired by Arnsbarger when he left. Archer was considered a bright young defensive coach. His first 2 years were successful with Arnsbarger's players. The bottom fell out when LSU was preseason ranked in the top 10 with Hodson as a heisman candidate.
He failed to recruit....it was ...bad. I wonder now if those classes would be top 30 if ranking sites existed like they do now. For all of Curley's faults that roster he inherited was awful and no one could have won with those players. Archer was in WAY over his head. I think based on where Archers career went he was probably a decent defensive coach. He lasted awhile as a coordinator for Kentucky and NC State and even spent some time with the Steelers.

Spurrier was overlooked to promote the DC . Recommended by the outgoing coach who hired him at his Alma mater as head ball coach while the former LSU coach was the then AD.

This.
Coach O is a totally different animal. He will keep the talent stocked. With decent or better coordinators LSU will be successful. Maybe or maybe not at the level we are wanting but successful.
