Arnsparger was the best football coach that fans don’t talk much about



While he may have been a good Xs and Os guy, he was cantankerous, ill-tempered, and had little to do with day to day operations around the team and wasn't big on recruiting. Always had the feeling he was at LSU for the check. That's probably why few talk about him.

Cantakerous, ill tempered has nothing to do with wins.

LSU consistently in top 10 and often in top 5 in-season during his tenure. 2x SEC coach of the year. Took over from Stovall and made LSU respected again.

Miami of Ohio was embarrassing all right, but name a HC who hasn't had one of those?
