re: John Brady under appreciated per Mark Gottfried

My biggest gripe was that almost from the beginning Brady latched on to the fact that LSU was on probation when he took the job and never failed to remind people of that for about five years. Others are allowed to point out you're on probation, but the head coach is not. The head coach is expected to put his head down, do his job and do the best he can to overcome the limitations

He was right and he had every right to state it. LSU was handed more severe (draconian) sanctions than other schools with worse transgressions. It hamstrung the program for 5 years, even after the years of reduced scholarships. Then Lester Earl recanted which made it more frustrating. There may be legit issues with Brady but this is not one of them.
