1999 LSU Tigers football team

The 1999 LSU Tigers football team represented Louisiana State University in the 1999 NCAA Division I-A football season. Coached by Gerry DiNardo in his last year at LSU, the Tigers played their home games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. LSU fired DiNardo before the final game of the season against conference opponent Arkansas after eight consecutive losses and named Assistant Coach Hal Hunter as interim head coach for the final game. DiNardo was given the opportunity to coach the game vs. Arkansas, but refused (in contrast to his predecessor at LSU, Curley Hallman, who coached the Tigers in their final two games of 1994 after being fired five years to the day prior to DiNardo's dismissal).[1]

gollark: Not really, I just won't get one for ages.
gollark: The inconvenient thing about the internet is that there's tons of sometimes-contradictory information on everything ever, and it's hard to find out about subjects which are new for you.
gollark: Based on what happened with the people who had to selfisolate there will be actual teachers there, and we have pretty small classes so it should be okay.
gollark: My school is apparently doing two weeks or so online when it starts back up again (in a few days?).
gollark: Apparently? That doesn't mean it generalizes to other stuff and magically heals you.
