Prior to Nick, LSU was a good but not elite program. Not bad, but didn't raise a blip in the national consciousness
Since you are educating us on the national consciousness of decades to prior to 2000s, how old are you?
You know there was more than just the 90s prior to nick Saban arriving at LSU right?

Look, prior to Nick, LSU had no more national relevancy than a Colorado or Clemson. Occasionally win a conference title; occasionally go to a major bowl game. But in those days, only a couple games a week were televised nationally. So unless you were consistently vying for NCs or appeared in NY Day bowls you just weren't real well known. Plus, the national media back then (the networks) were centered in the northeast. A southern school that wasn't particularly accomplished simply wasn't nationally relevant.
