What happened at Jerry Dinardo’s first practice that players were going to walk out?

Jacques Doucet said Todd McCluer told him about the time the players were going to walk out of Dinardo’s first day of practice. He told Booger that and he said him and the players were being a little dramatic but Dinardo taught them hard work. Anybody in the know, was this about Dinardo having a hard first day of practice?

95-97 was an awesome time. Felt like LSU was about to take that next huge next step in 1998

I thought so too, but thought DiNardo may have done it as well.

I lived it...Dinardo brought the winds of change. He set the expectations high...and most importantly, brought the talent back to the program. We had be devastated by poor recruiting from 1989-1994. I still attended all the games I could, but the electricity of my Freshman year (1988) was gone. Dinardo brought back hope. He left the program in much better shape and the cupboards had enough in them for Saban to completely revive our program. I definitely give credit to Gerry for lifting us up and to Saban for establishing the strong roots that have kept us in contention for the last 20 years.

Pretty sure he had them go full speed 20 plus plays in a row without a break. Game like situation (25 sec clock).

I remember something about this. Despite the disaster that was 1994, the defense was quite good. Good enough for Phil Bennett to be considered for HC. So, during practice, everybody on the defense kept saying, "Nobody is going to be able to hold the ball for 20 plays in a row on us."
The opening drive of the season at aTm, the Aggies reeled off a 16-play drive, and the defense held them scoreless.
The players got the message.

They had a ton of players that didn’t pass the conditioning drills. They were fat and out of shape. DiNardo ran them till they all puked up bile.

Curley was the black sock scandal. I remember my friends dad yelling “ they are wearing the ducking black socks”

He said that kneeling for the anthem was disrespectful.

Which game week did Dinardo hold a full pad , full contact 70 play scrimmage ?

I had a friend who played for Curley. Curley's first year and they took off their helmets and one player had a "doo rag" and Curley made the kid take it off and hand it to him. Curley then dropped his pants and wiped his arse with the kid's doo rag. I'm sure that lead to the team unity that was evident by how much of a winning team we were under Curley.
