LSU has always been a sleeping giant because of the amount of high school talent that comes out of Louisiana. The athletic department has made some poor decisions when it comes to hiring coaches.

We have had success in at least some parts of most decades. The national championship in the 50's, finished 5 seasons in the ap top ten in the 60's, had a nice run in the early part of the 70's, 84-89 was a nice stretch, then dinardo's first couple of years, and then since saban we have once again become relevant.

LSU has not been a consistent dominant program. It has been a program of good streaks and bad streaks. The bad streaks have mostly come because of poor coaching hires.

If someone locks down the talent in Louisiana like saban and miles have down, then there is no reason that lsu cannot be a consistent top 10-15 program

[QUOTE="bayoulsucajun, post: 382866, member: 13924"] LSU has always been a sleeping giant because of the amount of high school talent that comes out of Louisiana. The athletic department has made some poor decisions when it comes to hiring coaches. We have had success in at least some parts of most decades. The national championship in the 50's, finished 5 seasons in the ap top ten in the 60's, had a nice run in the early part of the 70's, 84-89 was a nice stretch, then dinardo's first couple of years, and then since saban we have once again become relevant. LSU has not been a consistent dominant program. It has been a program of good streaks and bad streaks. The bad streaks have mostly come because of poor coaching hires. If someone locks down the talent in Louisiana like saban and miles have down, then there is no reason that lsu cannot be a consistent top 10-15 program [/QUOTE]
