I wasn't alive, but I still know it well. :?
I didn't know this, but I had a conversation with a guy last night about the hire (a Boston College fan) and he mentioned a fellow by the name of Venturi. (can't remember the guys first name) It was at Northwestern (stuck out to me because that's where one of LSU's DC's is headed) and the guys' record was something along the lines of 1 win out of 30 something games.
