Stovall was not a good head coach. He had boocoo talent, NFL talent, two NFL backs, an all time NFL receiver and couldn't put it together consistently. That team won 8 games in spite of Stovall.

One must remember, as well, that in that span, Tulane beat LSU 3 of 4 years. Reggie Reginelli was a bad, bad man. He was Christian McCafferty before McCafferty was McCafferty. Tulane had a 24-13 beat down of LSU in the dome in 79, another 48-7 beat down of LSU in 81, and capped off the 82 senior class with the 31-28 win at Baton Rouge. Larry Gibson, the Tulane coach, wasn't very successful, but he could beat LSU. Tulane should have never fired him but he didn't meet the Tulane image. Miss St.? Yeah, no business ever losing to MSU. Good grief.

Yeah, you're combining Larry Smith and Vince Gibson. They were successive Tulane head coaches, and both contributed to the streak you mentioned......Larry Smith left in 1980 for the Arizona job and eventually became USC's head coach.
