The bullshite groupthink narrative about Dale Brown is strong in this thread.
Do you remember the game versus Mississippi State where Dale was mic'd up? Dale didn't draw up one game time situation play. Every TO was a motivational speech. The "group think" in this thread is pretty accurate.

He made Shaq for run hours for missing 1 class but he couldn't keep Roberts eligible?

I remember many huddle cams where he changed defenses, and drew up offensive sets. I've seen a few of those when LSU was playing a school with supposedly better "X's and O's" coaches, who did nothing but grunt motivational words to their teams in the huddle.
It's the same LSU fan thought pattern in every sport...
We have the best players in the country,by far. We should win by a lot. We certainly should never lose. If we don't win the national championship with these players, the coach sucks.
That first statement is a farce, and every memory of those teams built on that premise is flawed.
Dale beat a lot of good coaches that had equal, or greater talent. A lot of them.

This is EXACTLY correct. Dale did the same thing against Florida. We're down by 1, with the ball, 20 seconds left. Dale was mic'd up (he loved that) and he calls a TO and all he does in the huddle is say, "let's go win the game" for the entire time out. Zero play calling or strategy. Of course, we lost.
Dale did great things for LSU and we're all thankful. But I watched many, many years of Dale's team, and he was NOT a good game day coach.
That's not "groupthink," it's fact.
