Brady is 67 years old. He hasn't coached in 6 years and clearly is at peace with not coaching. I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to return to the stress of coaching where he routinely looked like this on the sidelines....
Brady loves LSU and would strongly consider it if asked to get them through the probation. He is a different person than he was 25 years ago and would have no real stress as he would have nothing to lose.

I like this. I never fully understood why Brady was fired. SEC champs and a Final Four should have given him enough goodwill to keep the job for a while

Although I supported him it was probably in his best interest to part ways with LSU. He always felt unappreciated for what they had accomplished under the circumstances and he was thin skinned at times . Obviously time heals many wounds and he is now very well received by much of the fan base. I really believe the program needs a mature hand who can just hold the rope for a few years and there will better choices than exist at present.

The only way he wouldn't have stress was if he wasn't doing his job as coach. Recruiting and putting together a roster would be even harder on probation and he would know that better than anyone.

OK, so give us the list of those high profile coaches and their resumes who would love to come here under the pending draconian sanctions and why are they a better choice than Brady other than you "heard" Brady was a disaster in his previous tenure.

You miss the point. He would not be following a legend like Dale Brown and would not feel the stress of "proving " himself. Brady is too competitive not to give his all to recruiting and coaching and could be a stabilizing influence. There is NO high profile coaching coming here until sanctions ae levied and served. You can bring in the hot name from a much lower level conference but its likely to fail. Brady has been there and done that and he is right in the back yard.

The stress wouldn't be about proving himself it would be the actual job.

Then it would be extremely stressful and I highly doubt a 67 yr old who's retired would want to return to that.

So would bringing Brady back yet there's no upside to that over hiring a young small conference coach and hoping it works for a time like with Brady 25 years ago.

If its a one year probation he might get a decent up and coming coach from a mid major program on the order of Wade who would be willing to weather the storm. Anything beyond that it would be better to hire Brady to guide it through. When a coach knows its a short term position one way or another there is little stress. If Woodward can work his magic all the better, but I am not very optimistic the way this whole thing has unfolded.

In most instances the coach doesn't have put together a new team.

If can get mad at Brandon Murray like he did at Tack Minor and bite the towel then I'm all for it.
That being said, Brady is content in living in downtown Nola and making the trip to BR.

John Brady needs to be the interim coach for the tournament. Especially with this defense. John Brady knew how to coach some defense. LSU would be nasty.
He's having his black HC and an all black Staff for the tournament and all you white racist crackers (Dawn says so) will like it!

Lester Earl is annoying as hell but he gets banned yet shite like this happens daily

I could live with Brady for a 1-year contract. I could live with Nickleberry/Tasmin for a 1 year contract. Both situations would be Interim until we found out what the damage is gonna be.

He hasn’t coached in 6 years, he’s 67 and living the good life, why in hell would he want first of all. And let’s not forget he wasn’t all that great to begin with. You are only suggesting him because you know him. There are dozens of good candidates and no they all won’t be scared off by sanctions

John Brady was a neighbor of mine growing up and that dude is awesome. Idk what he's up to these days but for sure my all time favorite LSU coach
Posted on 3/15/22 at 5:11 pm to tigersbb
Why would any recruit want to come to LSU knowing that his coach wouldn’t be there more than 1 to 2 years?
Woody having to get a new basketball coach shouldn’t have come as a shock to him. If he is as capable of a man as he appears to be, he will already have guys in mind.

Right, and he seems to be pretty happy with his current gig and stress-free lifestyle. He can do what he’s doing now until he dies. Almost no jobs end well, no matter how much success they have in the beginning. So, if Brady doesn’t retire after cutting down some nets, he’s likely to get fired like almost all coaches eventually do. And he’s not gonna go from getting fired right back to the booth with Blair doing color. It’s not a terrible idea for LSU, but I don’t think it makes sense for JB unless Woody throws a shite-ton of money at him. Brady is too competitive not to give his all to recruiting and coaching and could be a stabilizing influence. Which brings me to:

I don’t know about “high profile,” but Woody is gonna have to throw a shite-ton of money at whoever he hires. Hopefully he can use the new-found excitement that Wade brought to LSU basketball and leverage it for some TAF money to way overpay for somebody good. Like so much money and rope that they’ll be willing to deal with whatever sanctions are to come. And that’s gonna be even harder with all the SEC gigs open now that aren’t facing sanctions and have better basketball histories than LSU. I don’t know what that looks like, maybe 5 years $25 million-ish. But he’s gonna have to use some TAF money to either majorly upgrade the PMAC or build a new arena, which he was probably gonna have to do to satisfy Mulkey anyway. And figure out a way to use the NIL to get the players we need to compete. And LSU’s boosters are devoted—I think we spend more on sports than most schools relative to the resources we have in Baton Rouge. But that we are paying 2 football staffs, and I don’t know how much more he can keep going to the same well.
