So what’s your point?
59% winning percentage isn’t great.
His conference winning percentage is 54%
In the 15 years after Rudy Maclin he won the conference 1 time. This is while having 2 players whose jersey’s have been retired and one has a statue.

How long would we let a football coach linger who wins 54% of his conference games and only 1 conference title?

Wrong, he won two in 1985 and 1991.

When Brown was hired in 1972 he began to steadily build the program for four years until he could contend with the better teams. The last four years were sunk by Livingston's knee injuries and the Lester Earl imbroglio. The 15 years in between were the best era of consistent excellence.

I mean, our football program is not a complete piece of shite like our basketball program was when he took it over. There is a reason he was basically unknown and had never coached in college before LSU got him - because the program sucked and nobody cared.

He should have left a few years before he did, but he clearly elevated the program and created expectations. LSU hadn't won the SEC for a quarter of a century until Brown won his first SEC title. And even though he thought the SEC tourney was a waste of time, he still has our only SEC tourney title as well. Comparing football to basketball at LSU is comparing apples to oranges.
