LSU Fans: What went wrong with Gerry DiNardo?

He came in in 1995 and promptly turned your program around. Taking a team that finished 4-7 in 1994 and making them 7-4-1 in 1995. He then went 10-2 in 1996 and 9-3 in 1997, before tanking in 1998 and 1999 with the records of 4-7 and 3-8 respectively.
Where did he go wrong? He seemed to have you on your way and then just completely wiped out.

He recruited well enough, he just wasn't a great coach.

Being too loyal to Lou Tepper ultimately cost him his job. Gerry wasn't a great coach but he was decent, hell of a nice guy and a great person though.

In 1997, LSU beats #1 UF, following game get blown out by Ole Miss. After game, Dinardo and DC Carl Reese have heated argument and Reese resigns at end of season. Dinardo brings in Lou Tepper, all downhill after that.

Had Ally Broussard as well? Some awesome horse stable during that period. Had an epic game against AU. '97 maybe.

As with anything there were several factors but primarily...Lou Tepper and the will to do what was needed.

Alley Broussard wasa freshman in 2003.

You're correct but I was leaning more towards the talent level on the football field.

Wouldn't fire Lou Tepper who was a horrible d coordinator
