Trent Johnson also did a great job of replacing Dale Brown.

I still don't know how he ran the program into the ground so quickly.
cheese fries. never getting out of the dug out to argue a call(you lose respect from players like that). and recruiting mostly high school players that were guranteed to be picked in the top 5 rounds of the draft.
Most of this was due to Turtle Thomas' recruiting style. Contrary to popular opinion, the program started sliding a couple of years before (around the time Turtle came to LSU) Smoke arrived. I don't think that Turtle and Smoke were on the same page in recruiting. Smoke is a very good baseball mind and good coach, but things didn't work out here.

Turtle's recruiting class cannot be matched by any.
Too bad none of them ever arrived on campus.

Has there ever been a coach more set up than Smoke Laval?
Gene Bartow is the only one who comes to mind.
