I will always admire Trent for how he approached his job. With the history of dirt the LSU program has had, IMO, he cleaned up the image. Did that cost him recruits and more importantly, connections in state? Absolutely. The losses and roster holes fall on him. He did it his way, for better or worse.

As a Basketball Coach, I cannot admire Trent Johnson. First, when he came to LSU, LSU did not have a history of "dirt." I am no John Brady apologist, but Brady did not run a dirty program. There was nothing to "clean" up. Second, even if he did recruit players who were academically "solid," I still measure a coach by what kind of job he does on the court. Even without measuring wins and loses, and he had two absolutely miserable seasons, if he even actually taught his players what to do on the court, I saw durn little of that on the court.

The bottom line was the product Trent Johnson put on the floor at LSU, and it was terrible.

He may be a "nice" guy, but he wasn't paid to be nice and lose, he was paid be nice and win.

If, as fans, we took the same attitude towards our football coaches, Saban would never have been hired.
