Dale pretty much quit his last three years after he lost Livingston and let the program deteriorate from top to bottom and in every way even before probation (which didn't take affect until Brady's second year).


yeah I remember that. Randy Livingston and Ronnie Henderson was Dale's last great recruiting class. It was his last hurrah and then there was Lester Earl. Too bad about the injuries it could have been a good team. Dale's last teams could have been pretty good.

IMHO had Livingston stayed healthy he's there two years tops so I'm not so sure Dale keeps it going anyway. Dale didn't land a big recruit after those two and put himself into the position where he felt he had to sign Earl.

He apparently hadn't evaluated him to closely though, cause talk about overrated. That guy that was dissing Tasmin must not have been around then.

Dale let recruiting relationships dissolve. There used to be a big high school tournament in the PMAC called the Super-6 there every year and I remember Perry Clark being there and joking about why Dale wasn't there in his own building.

He was always distracted by other interests but the distraction became serial in those later years. He actually thought he could coach up any player with his "triumph of the human spirit" motivation. That was proven to be a foolish notion.
