Shaq, Stanley Roberts, Geert Hammick, CJ, Harold Breaux(5star?), Vernel, Mo Williamson, Dennis Tracey(Jacob Hester).... still couldnt dominate the SEC and never got far in the NCAA tournament with that group.

frick GT and Kenny Anderson.

The biggest difference to take into consideration is that Dale Brown built that program from nothing. Les came into a tailor-made situation.

Been wondering when someone would make this comparison...the one thing they do seem to have in common is the knack for confusing coach-speak. Verges on funny when I heard Miles speak to the media, not too different from when Dale was waxing philosophical after every game back in his day.

Wrong. Dale Brown was more like Nutt. Give him a shitty team and he'll coach them up. Give him a great team, and he struggles. I'd hate to see how a less talented team performs under Miles.

Certainly a valid point to bring up. However if 2007 hadn't been such a wacky year, Les' two loses to unranked teams would be more remembered than the NC today.

Did Miles?

If the last two seasons don't convince kool aid bathers that Miles won with Nick's players, nothing will.

Miles doesn't even use the studs that he has. He allows them to waste away on the sideline and lose their motivation to improve. Why? Because no matter what they do, the upperclassman will play.

Then, when they finally get to play as juniors or seniors, we see the equivalent of a sophomore in experience with only one more season to improve.

I must have missed the 5 yr period where Dale won a national title and had LSU ranked in the top 5 three times in a row.

Apples and oranges.

Daddy Dale destroyed what he built.

Miles is destroying what someone else built.

The most obvious similarity is how often each of them was outcoached. Dale was all emotion with very poor X's and O's..........don't know that Les shows the same emotional buy-in but he's definitely Dale's X's and O's and game strategy equivalent.

I was and still am a Dale Brown fan. What coach built a better program and brought so much excitement to Baton Rouge. There are always going to be tards who hate every coach that LSU has ever had. Which ones do you are did you like?

Dale/Skip would be a better comparison. Each built his program from scratch and kept it respectable for two decades. Les Miles is not good enough a coach to do that.
