quote: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.
If hired Spurrier would have turned LSU around
quote: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.
but would have eventually left for Florida where he played.
If Spurrier had spawned a monster at LSU, he might have stayed a decade or more, and Florida may never have emerged.

CFB Warehouse had a very comprehensive methodology for ranking the programs historically. Prior to 2000, figuring wins, bowls, championships, etc- it had LSU ranked 14 best in cfb history. Digging into it, it was pretty hard to refute. LSU was always on the cusp, always a threat to beat you in the bowl game, but not quite consistent enough to get over the hump.
