re: Johnny is Dale Brown Part Deaux!

Daddy Dale went to 2 final fours in 28 years. Based on your post, I would have expected more.

John Brady could have had the exact same resume as Dale Brown if we let him coach here for 28 years.

Dale was at LSU for 25 years. Brady could have never lasted that long because of his personality. He was a pretty good coach, but he lost more players than any coach I've ever seen because he couldn't get along with anyone . I think he had 13 players graduate in 10 years or something. Players transferred out left and right. He was alienating everyone.

Dale took over a team that hadn't been to the tournament in 18 years and had only four winning seasons in those 18 years.

Brady did a good job with getting Stromile Swift, Jabari Smith and those guys. He built a good team with them. But he was fortunate that Collis Temple Jr. housed Big Baby and had Tyrus Thomas and Tasmin Mitchell were on the same AAU team as his son. He handed Brady those players because they were all so close. Brady won a combined total of 6 SEC games in his last two seasons and he had a lot of talent on his last team (as Trent Johnson would show the next year when LSU won the SEC). Brady's success was done at LSU after the Big Baby era. If we had let him coach another 15 years, it would not have been good. Brady did go out with class in his exiting press conference though.
