Would Jones hire Brady as a defensive assistant?

Would Brady accept? This is his final season at Arkansas State.

Jones should be Brady's assistant.

Please neux. Brady is a jerk.

Brady's ego wouldn't allow him to work under Jones

Brady is a gigantic dickhead

I'm dropping this in from the other Brady thread.
Anyone who thinks Brady was a great coach needs to go rewatch that UAB game in the 2005 Tournament. Squeaky Johnson is still leading fast breaks and finding Marvett McDonald for open 3's. Every single time in the postseason, outside of the Final Four year, Brady's defenses shite the bed. Gave up 75 to Ball State in 2002 NIT, 80 to Purdue in 2003, 70 to Oklahoma in 2004 NIT, and 82 to UAB in 2005. Those numbers are especially bad when you consider how his teams always held the ball for the whole shot coach on offense.
Brady made his name as a defensive master against the likes of Rod Barnes at Ole Miss. But when we played good teams we usually got smoked.

So one John Brady thread wasn't good enough? We have to have 2? Fantastic

lol, I think Jones would jump at that. No way Brady would accept though. He is not the type to come back to LSU with his tail between his legs. JMO

I thought this particular idea deserved it's own discussion.

Our newspaper sports section said Brady is retiring, not fired, just retiring.

First off, who gives a shite about the NIT? It is a completely meaningless postseason tournament and no one should judge any coach (Brady or otherwise) for their team's performance in the participation tournament. Otherwise, Dave Odom would be one of the greatest coaches in SEC history
That 2005 UAB game was a complete disaster. However, that was a product of LSU's offensive problems (always an issue under Brady) as much as it was bad defense. LSU started that game out ok and then couldn't hit shite or hold on to the basketball throughout the game. They shot 36% as a team and 19% from 3 point range. Couple that with turning over the ball 21 times! I don't care how good you are defensively. When you're that bad on offense, you have no shot.
LSU's defense was able to pull them to the Sweet 16 in 2000 until they ran into an even better defensive team in Wisconsin.
Brady was certainly no HOFer, but his teams generally played defense. He also was the only coach in the last 30 years to get LSU past the first weekend in the tournament. Relatively speaking, he should get some credit for that.
Brady turned off a lot of fans/supporters. He turned off far too many players. However, I will give him credit. When he did have players, he generally won a lot of games. It was the wild inconsistency (coupled with his acerbic personality) that did him in.

Not unless Jones wants to end this kids staying for longer than a year and building depth that we haven't seen in 20 years thing he's got going.

Brady's been gone long enough, he'd probably welcome the opportunity to come back and plow some new fields.

If I have to explain to you that the teams in the NIT are better than half of the SEC then you may be hopeless. But I'll give it a shot. Lets just use last year for the sake of argument. Five out of 14 SEC teams made the NCAA tournament last year. That leaves 9 SEC teams that were NIT teams or worse. But hey according to you we should judge John Brady's greatness against the SEC which as a whole isn't even NIT caliber which as you said is completely meaningless postseason tournament.
Also, I posted postseason as a metric to judge Brady not just the NIT. But you must have reading comprehension problems. There were definitely some NCAA examples in there too. The fact is that anytime we played a good offensive team, outside of the 2006 season, our stellar defense disappeared. Maybe because it wasn't really that good after all.

That is not why Brady was fired. Brady was fired because he had the audacity to allow a rebuilding period after reaching the final four. Programs like LSU will have to rebuild during a 10 year stretch, but fans and administrators don't have the patience for that.
So the result is that Brady gets fired and the replacements aren't as good.
The same would have happened if Miles had been fired.
