Gerry DiNardo Career
DiNardo serves at FOX Sports as an on-air analyst for BTN. He joined the station after spending two years as a college football analyst for ESPN and ESPN Radio’s College GameDay. DiNardo was a head football coach in the SEC and Big Ten before becoming a college football analyst, including a stint as the head coach at Indiana University from 2002 to 2004. He was the head coach at Louisiana State University from 1995 to 1999, leading the team to three consecutive bowl appearances from 1995 to 1997.
During his time as the head coach at Vanderbilt University from 1990 to 1994, he was named Coach of the Year in 1991. From 1982 to 1990, DiNardo was an assistant coach at the University of Colorado, where he helped the Buffaloes win a national championship in 1990. He was an offensive lineman for the University of Notre Dame from 1972 to 1974, winning All-American honors and becoming a member of the school’s national championship team in 1973.
DiNardo took over a team that had lost six consecutive seasons and hadn’t been ranked in the Associated Press poll since 1989. DiNardo vowed to “restore the magic,” and he succeeded admirably for the first three seasons. The Tigers lost their first game against No. 3 Texas A&M in his first season at LSU in 1995. LSU began the 1997 season ranked No. 10 in the preseason poll. The team lost 13 of its next 17 games in 1998, including defeats to No. 10 Notre Dame and No. 13 Arkansas. LSU was defeated by No. 10 Georgia, No. 8 Florida, and No. 25 Ole Miss in 1999. From 1997 to 1999, Nick Saban, who would go on to coach LSU in 1999, was the head coach at LSU.
The Tigers won the Peach Bowl by a score of 10–7 against unranked Clemson. LSU ended the regular season with a 9–2 record and claimed the Independence Bowl 45–26 over unranked Michigan State. LSU’s only other loss of the season came to unranked Notre Dame on November 15, which the Tigers avenged in the Independence bowl by crushing the Battling Irish, 27–9, in a rematch. With one game left in the season, LSU chancellor Mark Emmert shot DiNardo on November 15, 1999. The most recent season in which LSU did not play in a bowl game was the 1999 season. Since then, Nick Saban, Les Miles, and Ed Orgeron have led the team to 20 consecutive winning seasons. Saban led the Tigers to SEC championships in 2001 and 2003, as well as the BCS national championship in 2003.
