That might’ve been archer - but I’m not sure

Agreed

Correct. Many people hate Saban because of how he left and then went to Bama(of all places). But HE put us back on the map as a national power.

Hey maybe we owe Dinardo some gratitude. If he hadn't have been such a miserable failure, LSU may never have stepped up to the plate and started paying the kind of money required to get upper echelon coaches.

Louisiana was always a hotbed of talent. Every coach had to know this. At one time it was Grambling.
Yeah, 25-30 years before Dinardo.
That’s my point. Louisiana always had great football talent. It just didn’t always accumulate at LSU. But any coach had to know the potential. Fans knew. Saban sure did.

Yeah, that was a great game. Arky strutted into TS ranked in the top 10 I believe. Interim Coach Hal Hunter dialed up a great game plan and kicked the tar outta them. Rohan had a good game.

Dinardo was the anti Orgeron. Dinardo acted like a government bureaucrat. He was afraid to hire competent assistants because he was afraid they would upstage him. Orgeron attempts to hire the best because he knows it will make him be more successful.
Bingo - we have a winner here !

Hell, when he was fired and they went out and lit Arkansas up, you could see that the entire team had a renewed energy. Hunter takes over, practice in shells, bench Booty, profit.
This sounds recently familiar.

Thanks for the response I couldn't remember the coach's name. LSU really was bad back then. With all of the bad coaches LSU had back then I was starting to believe that Charlie Mac put a curse on the LSU football program. Charlie Mac was a coach that I really did feel sorry for. I remember the season after he left LSU played Tulane in the dome. Tulane was beating LSU and Tulane had a big sign that read Keep Mac Packed.
Coach Mac was a good guy, but DAMN...that lose to Ole Miss in ‘69 probably cost him a Natty !

I really think he laid the initial groundwork for Saban eventually coming here and building LSU back to what it is now.
His ability to reel in Faulk is what changed the trajectory of LSU football.

Joe Dean and skills or intelligence should never be in the same sentence

Booty
Do not speak that name
I know Booty was a mixed bag, but he is the one who talked up Josh Reed and got DiNardo to start using him in the offense as a WR even though he came to LSU as a RB.

I think there are more things to do here, so we didn't have the same single-minded commitment from the entire state to winning that you see from Alabama, Oklahoma, Nebraska, etc. historically
