I suspect Coach O won't flame out as quickly as Chizik did
But I do think this is a legitimately open question and it's not intended to get a rise out of LSU people
Ra ra, brotherhood, cultural fit coaches tend to do really well and then collapse. Coach O is, by any measure, in that boat. He's done a good job surrounding himself with legit pieces that make the program less reliant on his persona, but it's still obviously a big part of LSU right now.
I'm not rooting for him to fail nor am I predicting it. But he's in a category of coaches that often peak and decline quickly, so it's a good case study.

I’m not saying this is the rule as it is more of an exception but what about Dabo?

Not sure why people use the fact that O surrounds himself with good assistants as a knock.
Who doesnt?
Clemson's continued success is often attributed to Dabo's skill at keeping his assistants mostly intact.
Plenty of Bammers point to the constant staff turnover as one of the issues at Bama lately.

Dabo and to a lesser extent Carroll at USC were pretty damn consistent at being motivator/recruiter/program builder types
