re: Johnny Jones is a good recruiter who can't coach

Daddy Dale and JJ are very very similar...except Jones doesnt have the NCAAT appearances and I'm not sure he ever will

They are both positive guys, JJ is recruiting similar guys and they have some similarities, but they are not even close to similar on the bench. Brown was psyched up and got his players psyched up. He also lit into players when they didn't give effort or were playing stupid.

As for some of the other people commenting, Brown sometimes relied on motivation more than Xs and Os, but he knew decent Xs and Os too because in his first year when LSU was a joke and were picked to finish dead last in the SEC, LSU had a winning record and he was named SEC Coach of the Year. He beat the team that finished as the NCAA runner up at home. It was Dale's first home game and they won by double digits. That was before he could get the recruiting machine going.
