Dinardo did some good things. He started getting LSU to
begin think about upgrsding the facilities. They built
the meeting and hospitality room for recruiting. He was
constantly talked upgrading .His downfall began after the
1997 Fla. game which LSU won. The next week we played OM
and the Defense couldn`t stop Tommy Tuberville`s offense.
Dinardo got pissed at Carl Reese and screwed up their
relationship and Reese eventually went to Texas and we
hired Lou Tepper.Then Morris Watts left and Dinardo got
mad and became paranoid and just started hiring his friends Tepper and McConnel and the rest is history.Once
things started going south he couldn`t handle the pressure.

Let me start out by saying that Dinardo did some good things here, mainly getting the instate recruiting back and had 3 good seasons that showed tiger fans we could be good again, before the wheels fell off.
I also understand vandy was an absolute shite job, probably worse then than it is now, but it still seems like lsu would only show interest if he at least made a bowl. Was joe dean that much of a cheap arse?

Miles barely won the 1 NC that he has, he won that with a 2 loss LSU team which is embarrassing to the program - 2 losses
How The Fuk could you actually say something like that, especially out loud?
So the 2007 NC Team is “embarrassing” for the program?? Please tell me I’m misinterpreting ur meaning, PLEASE!

The "facts" stated on this message board are embarrassing. Coach Case was hired away by Mack Brown when Coach Brown was at UNC. Then when he got the Texas job (not Mackovic) Coach Brown hired Coach Reese as DC, Coach Tolleson as DL and Coach Haywood as RB. Yes, money was a huge factor, but also other things were at play given a program with 3 straight bowl wins (including over Coach Saban) and egos vying for the credit. Mistakes were made and things would be done differently in hindsight but Coach DiNardo sparked the renaissance in LSU Football to bring it where it is today and to argue otherwise is completely ignoring the facts.

The legislature changed the booster club rules in the 90s allowing an outside entity like TAF to take on debt for the school. The change ushered LSU into the modern age and allowed us to join the arms race. Emmert brought Saban, they rebuilt the facilities and made LSU a player. Dean didn’t have that TAF luxury, but he would have ruined it anyway with his penny pinching ways
Dean was a good ole boy who did what he was told. His biggest failure was using Gil Brandt of the Cowboys for coaching hire advice. He told him to hire Curley, he vouched for Sullivan and Dinardo.
Dinardo became an ego maniac control freak, when OC and DC left Dinardo promoted and hired his guys and went down with the ship. The TD Poster Dale Murphy has a great story about Dinardo going insane in the locker room at Arky in the last game of his second to last season. The team knew he was cooked going into his final season, Tepper and McConnell were just the last straw.

Man, I was around for the Cholly Mac hire. I don't feel like an old timer. Ignore the children.

LSU hired a coach that just lost his last game 65-0. Don't you know LSU fans were thrilled with that pick. He was cheap, and that was all there was to it.

Dinardo was respectable at Vandy. he had the pedigree too--played for ND during the Era of Ara and won a ship... coached under Bill McCartney...he came cheap too.
i remember when Dinardo was set to begin his 5th season in 1999. he quipped that he was the longest tenured LSU coach since Cholly Mac. He wasnt lying and speaks volumes to the stability--for better or worse--we have had over the past 20 years

Dirt cheap... Terrible hire.

Dinardo and Miles had much in common. Hardheaded and inflexible. Offensive linemen from the mid-west. Dinardo started with much less talent while miles inherited a Ferrari. When they lost good assistants they struggled. Both got paranoid. It would have been interesting to see how Dinardo would have done with Saban’s base. I think Dinardo would have won at least one more NC.

They knew that Baw would bring us a good Italian restaurant and get that crabmeat cheesecake.

Interestingly, a select few LSU ‘fans’ take more pleasure denigrating it then just about any other fan base. Lol Smh

The better question is why did LSU hire Curley Hallman...
No it’s not. That’s a MUCH DUMBER question actually. There’s easily more reasons to explain the Curley hire over the DiNardo hire.
