Never expected him to go out on top. His last 4 years in tiger town he was a combined 45-89.

Right.....like in 1994 when dale brown let a 30 point lead over Kentucky become a loss. Unbelievable. Kentucky laughed their way out the gym that night.
That would be a low point. He also beat UK more than any coach in history though.

Sure he did. His tenure as the coach was head and shoulders above all other coaches.

Being up over 30 against Kentucky only to lose that game was the worst coaching I've ever witnessed.
quote:you are NOT giving him props for succeeding or overachieving. Maybe if you had been a fan prior to 1990 you would understand why he lingered those last four years. Dale Brown has the respect of all his coaching peers!!! No problem with you pointing out the "bad" years, they are in fact part of his memoirs
had it been anyone else they would have been fired.

Enlighten me on why he went 45-89 in those last four years? I'm willing to listen lol

What about Dale's 76 - 41 win at Rupp in 1987? I guess you and your pals don't remember that game. It probably still stands as Kentucky's largest home defeat.

Yeah, because he was good enough to stick around that long (2nd in wins to Adolph Rupp in SEC History I believe). Let me put it this way, before Dale Brown, LSU had beaten Kentucky twice in basketball. Brown beat them 18 times. He still had a losing record against them, but LSU had almost no success against them before he took over. Speaking of the bad ones, there was one where UK scored 86 or something at half...that was really bad. But there were a lot of great ones and times when he humbled UK.

brown's last 4. Those last four years were gut wrenching to watch as tulane, usl, and Louisiana tech all fared better than our tigers
I'm sure the Randy Livingston injury had nothing to do with it.

Props to the 87 victory and the final four year. that 80-81 team was lights out. See I can give props also.

U can't base the last four years of his career on the injury of one player. If so, that means he didn't recruit other than randy.

Irony ... you're a big fan of Dale's #1 disciple, but you only remember Dale for four years at the end of his very successful career.

There is no question he stayed too long. I assure you that if a healthy Livingston played at LSU for 3 years, his record during those final years would have been much different.
