Joe Dean hired Curley. Brodhead said, "Hire a cheap coach, get a cheap coach." Those four years were Dean's fault and why I enjoyed Skip and his baseball program so much. Football became an afterthought. Don't blame Curley; he just came in way over his head. Had that one Southern Miss win against FSU. Hence the hire.

I bought my first season tickets with the hire of Curley. After Archer was fired the following year they put sheets of paper on all available seats. You could look around pick what you wanted and head down with the sheets from the seats you picked to the ticket office and get your season tickets. Tickets were $18 per game for every game

Not quite as bed, but this guy produced a period of pain, too.

It was the time of unspeakable darkness.
I was a freshman in 1990 and went to 90% of the games as a cadet (along with all of the other cadets) during my tenure at LSU. At least my children will not have to suffer what I had to suffer through.
Geaux Tigers.

Mississippi State and Tulane should be ashamed of themselves. We hung 24 on each of them and they combined for 15 points.
This was an LSU team (by far the worst in history) that gave up 4+ TDs to 7 opponents, while scoring 2 TDs or less in 5 games. Yeah, only a FG loss to Colorado State, Kentucky (4-7) and Auburn (5-5-1), but Mississippi State was ranked all year (including when we beat them) and the worst LSU team - ever - beat them 24 -3 .

Not to mention being shut out by Ole Miss on Halloween. And it still took Joe Dean two more years to fire him.

I forgot to mention the shutouts - we also got shut out by Tennessee in Tiger Stadium.
Curley averaged a shut out per year (2 in 1992 and 0 in 1994), but he is the last LSU head coach to not get shut out by Alabama.
Archer was never shut out. Arns was only shut out by Florida in '85. Stovall was shut out by FSU in his very first game as head coach, but never again.
Mac coached 18 seasons, over 200 games, and he was shut out:
Ole Miss (@Jackson) 1965
Ole Miss (Baton Rouge) 1966
Alabama (@Bham) 1966
Miami(FL) (@Miami) 1968
Notre Dame (@South Bend) - 1970 (<- and it was 3-0 - one of my very earliest football memories)
Tulane (?) - (@New Orleans) 1973
Alabama (@Bham) 1974
Alabama (Baton Rouge) 1979 - another 3-0 - Mac's final game against The Bear
Mac's hat was a better coach than Curley fricking Hallman.

I thought it was their win over Bama that cinched his hire but it really was Favre that made him look good enough to hire. I hadn’t heard the ‘cheap hire’ story. Those were dark years except for Skip’s fine run.

I love Curley in a way. Somehow, some way, my love of LSU was forged in the Hallman fire. My first dozen games were coached by him, and by the time he left (I was 8), I was hooked for life.
The only time I ever heard my dad curse (until I was grown and we started golfing together) was when he was talking about LSU and Curley.

My last MS4 semester was your first semester in the program.
I was the last ECP cadet commissioned by LSU.

Student tickets were $2 and you could park your truck anywhere you could fit it on campus.
Saban changed everything in ways we couldn't possibly imagine when he was hired. I remember a lot of skepticism at the time about his mediocre record, and the fact that LSU destroyed Michigan State when Dinardo and Saban went head to head at the Independence bowl on a cold night in Shreveport.
Vive la différence!

Thanks for posting this...I was trying to remember why I don’t have a lot of memories of LSU the years immediately following my graduation...this explains it.
