DiNardo- Pro's
Came in after 6 losing season in a row took us to 3 straight bowl game wins and 1st ever win of #1 in 97 UF
Recruited LA starting with Kevin Faulk ending with Bradie James, Trev Faulk etc
Got the new suites and East side built (opened in 2000)

I believe he was responsible for NCAA approving exception for LSU having to wear dark (purple) jerseys at home games. Allowed the white jerseys provided visitors approved. In effect visitors wore their home dark jerseys.


LSU Alumni brought Gerry to NYC for a meet and greet at a place called Brother Jimmy's. He wasn't very social and had trouble with the crawfish. LSU staffer ran over and said Coach let me help you. Was hanging in the corner when I approached and spoke for 10 minutes or so. He was from Brooklyn and played for Notre Dame

Brother Jimmy’s Bait Shack! I was living in NYC at that time. That place was a Godsend for fans there who wanted to watch LSU football games. You needed a satellite to catch most of them back then.

Also his recruits made up the core of the 2001 sec championship team. It was Saban’s team but Dinardo left him with plenty of talent.
