We have already delved into the insanity of the Bob Broadhead years and the eventual fallout in 1986, so let’s take the chance to marvel at how great Bill Arnsparger’s tumultuous three years in Baton Rouge were.
Broadhead pushed out beloved LSU legend Jerry Stovall after four up and down seasons, bringing in the Miami Dolphins’ defensive coordinator. He was the first man to coach a football game at LSU from outside the LSU “family” since Paul Dietzel. Before that, the last man to come to LSU without having played or coached previously was Biff Jones, and he was assigned the job by the US Army in 1932.
