Turn LSU around? There wasn't anything to turn around in the 80's. A couple Sugar Bowls and an Orange, back when making those were a huge deal. Arnsparger had LSU poised to become the power they later became under Saban/Miles.

but would have eventually left for Florida where he played.

Notice how I mentioned Miles? You THINK Spurrier would leave, but Florida wasn't Big 6 yet, they were Kentucky level. 1 SEC title and that was erased.

If Spurrier had spawned a monster at LSU, he might have stayed a decade or more, and Florida may never have emerged.
