This isn't the case at LSU and no class Les has ever recruited can touch some of those classes Wooden had at UCLA during their run.


That's fair.

Basketball is also an entirely different game than football, and Wooden wasn't Daddy Dale. He was a very good tactitioner but not the greatest.


Seriously, are you questioning the most successful college basketball coach ever? I know that basketball and football are different, but don't motivational techniques remain similar?

My whole point was that a reserved sideline presence is not an example of per se bad coaching. I used one of the greatest coaches of sports (all of sports) to try to prove that, but apparently that's not good enough.

Any my point is that Les' strength was his ability to get his players to run through walls for him and energized on the field. We haven't seen that to the levels of the past, and I think he struggles to motivate unless he's the underdog. That's why our team will perform poorly against weaker teams and yet can challenge a team like Bama.

In the end, it is who he is. I simply think he's a Mark Richt clone that got lucky one year to get bailed out for his losses.

As did I early referencing Bear Bryant. I'd add Tom Landry, Tom Osborne, Bill Walsh, Mike Holmgren, Tony Dungy as coaches who showed restraint on the sidelines.
