How many games did we lose in two years (98&99) scoring more than 4 touchdowns.

Yep. He blamed the offense in losses where they scored 27 or more points. Tepper's defense was never to be blamed by him. You know, the defense that would take 5 years to implement.

1999... worst year in LSU football history? Such expectations, and it all went horribly, horribly wrong.
In terms of actual suckage, nothing tops '92. That was just . . . horrible.

Our offense scored again to take the lead, and the defense promptly gave up another TD. Our offense finally ran out of time and couldn't score again, so in the post-game Gerry complains about how the offense couldn't get the job done "when we needed it" or some crap like that.

P.S. IMO...Dinardo was a pretty good coach and a really good recruiter. His assistants killed him and his refusal to fire Tepper was his downfall.
Really? A pretty good coach huh? He sucked from the get go. Joe Dean was an idiot who the hell hires a coach away from vanderbilt? He survived on Curley's talant and his three sets of rules bit him in the arse. Those players quit on him and I don't blame them. fixed

the Houston game...
Any thoughts on wanting to give Dinardo another year were dashed that night. We got our asked kicked all night, but Kevin Faulk single handedly won the game. Rushed for well over 200 yds.

Dinardo just lost it at the end. He lost his mind, his asst coaches and his players. The Arky game was proof of that. That team could have easily gone 7-5 that year with the talent and the way they beat Arky. Hell look at Saban's first year in 2000.

Dinardo had lost the team by this game. We all knew it was just a matter of a few weeks before he was fired. There were no Dinardo supporters left at that point (that I knew of anyway).

the UGA, State, and Bama games that year sucked.
Lost in Athens on that 2 point conversion that got batted down, when Booty had Mealey open in the endzone
we got screwed in Starkville when the State RB crawled into the endzone
and then the Bama game where we lose by 6, as Booty tries to go airborne with no timeouts left and gets stopped inside the 1

Dinardo deserved to get fired
He stood solidly behind Tepper and Booty - neither of whom should have had the positions they did on the team

Yeah, those endings were miserable. But add to that a beat-down at home by Auburn, the same to Florida in the pouring rain, getting thumped in Lexington, and having Deuce McAllister run all over our arse at home.
Oh, and I forgot that even included a close call to San Jose St. in the first game.

The 1998 team averaged 31 points a game on offense and finished 4-7.

After 1998 and 1999? No way. Ironically, the DiNardo regime began crumbling just one short week after the milestone victory over Florida in 1997. The man was just steps from the mountain top at that point.

Please, the stadium was well beyond half empty for that game. Bag heads all over the place. It is telling that Dean pulled the trigger before the last game of the season, everyone knew Dinardo was gone before the Houston game.

He was better than average at LSU before he became a paranoid, reality avoiding, nutjob.
DiNardo had a pretty good staff in his first year at LSU. It all started to fall apart when he lost DB coach Ron Case to Mack Brown/UNC, then DC Carl Reese to Jon Mackovic/Texas. He didn't replace those two with quality coaches and it was all downhill after that. If he could have kept that original staff intact, who knows what would have happened......
