Great recruiter but no game smarts....I remember watching the ESPN special on LSU when we had Shaquille, Roberts, and Chris Jackson...The entire season was chronicaled as I guess they thought we were going undefeated or something....and ever time they stuck a mic in a sideline huddle it was all Tony Robbins shite with ZERO basketball accumine. Dale was and will always be know as a great motivator and that was his thing....Les gets um to sign up and believe but it ends there..I really belive if not for Chavis Les would have been gone by now. .....although I can't remember this much hate being showered on Dale.

Les Miles << Dale Brown

Dale built a great program from dirt. Les held onto the reigns of a great program already built.

How many NCs did Dale win? He had Shaq and Chris Jackson at the same time. It was excruciating to watch. Dale was much, much worse than Les. Remember this

Much worse. More like Coker without instate competition. Actually Coker was better too.

Dale Brown made LSU basketball what it was. He took teams to two final fours, and a final eight, and many, many sweet 16s......he may not have been a great x and o guy, but he built that program from scratch...for you to degrade him over it is pathetic.

In all due fairness to Dale Brown ... it is not his fault that Shaq couldn't hit a free throw to save his life ... then or now.

I am not sure that we will EVER see that talented of an LSU team again ... an LSU team that did not make the Final Four.


Somehow ... Dale made the Final Four with much less, though.

Dale Brown built the basketball program after pulling it out of the gutter. He's not given enough credit for his accomplishments on and off the court. He had a far better instincts than Miles has.

See Texas and Mack Brown. That's what is coming unless Miles removes himself from the offense and stops recruiting "dual threat" Qb's to run an old school, up the middle, pocket passing "pro-ish" offense.
