TJ is the REAL DEAL as a coach. Just hope he can recruit the same way. Things are definitely improved. I liked Brady as a recruiter bot was not impressed with his X&O abilily nor with his handling of varios players personalitis.
TJ has broght these guys together and it is paying off. Tasmin is now blossoming as a player that we had been waiting for and he is doing it by not only scoring but also by defense and being unselfish with the ball.
Now if we can get Temple to play smarter with the ball or move Terry martin back into the atrting lineup. Looks like Terry get the message from Coach TJ.

The greatest improvement Johnson brought is movement on offense. There is motion, screens, pics and hustle. I did not like the firing... but the proof is 20-4.
I agree with this. I read an article in the paper the other day that mentioned that Brady emphasized points off defense and the fact that he didn't usually install his offense until after the season started. It showed.
This team plays well on both ends of the floor. Johnson talks about how he wants the players to have fun on the offensive end of the floor, and it shows. He has confidence in the players being able to score. The players feed off of that. If one of them misses a shot, it isn't the end of the world.

These are Brady's players he gets all of the credit. The only problem with this team is that now you have the 9th and the 10th players coming off the bench taking playing time from the starters. Brady would have never allowed that. Plus, we are wasting to much energy each game. It has been proven under Brady's scheme that you can coast your way to victory in the second half by saving some of that energy for the next game. Sure you might lose a few but its part of the process.

This should be about the overall health of the program. TJ is making huge strides his first season to restore the program to the fervor you saw in the 1980's. Under Brady it was dying, pretty much on life support.

2006 was the most talented team at LSU in 16 years. They didn't have to do a whole lot except get the ball to the playmakers and rely on TT and Big Baby to take over. The bottom line is that they were MUCH more talented than '09.
I agree with everything else you said, but this I might argue against.
Don't sell the talent of this 2009 team short.
The 2009 team is a much better outside shooting team than the 2006 team, which makes a big difference.

You MUST be joking! In any event, the refreshing thing for me this year is where Brady would STILL be arguing about the bad no-call at the end of the Alabama game in T-town, Johnson moves on and gets back to coaching his team. Similar to the adage "those who can't play coach", Brady lived by the adage "those who can't coach bitch at the refs". Fundamental difference between TJ and JB in understanding of job duties.

not his first few years as coach, but overtime, yes he would have been blamed because his teams proved that they would commit those turnovers consistently

So you think the 2006 team shot better from outside than this team?

The Brady sympathizers give him way too much credit for the Final Four team in '06. Those guys played together since middle school, and they won in spite of Brady IMHO. When that team was really tested against UCLA and some coaching actually became necessary, they got destroyed. Brady didn't make any adjustments.
Anyway, bottom line, Brady is gone (good riddance) and we got Trent. A definite upgrade by any rational person's measure.

No, but that's not the single litmus test of which one is better.

JB should have been gone after the Wisconsin debacle

Jesus, I forgot about UAB. That was awful.

First of all, Brady didn't have a scheme. He had some talented players and a prayer. Second of all, he lost more than a few games in which the Tigers led big and/or late. It is one of the great discredits to his tenure that these losses occurred.
But your attempt at revision history is impressive, unless this was all sarcasm. In that event, carry on ...

100% correct. He wouldn't know a screen if it fell out of a window.

People also forget the reason we made it to the final four was one hell of a shot by Darrell Mitchell from NBA range, if not for that play, Brady probably gets fired a year earlier than he did. Brady owes Mitchell for that one, there was no play call whatsoever, it was simple, Mitchell is taking a 3 to win or lose the game. And don't get me wrong, I was fine with him taking a 3 at the time to get us the win, but for there to be no set play, no ball screens for mitchell to get open was ridiculous.

ehh, they said it was a play called "Special" to get Mitch isolated on a big man and a small guy guarding Baby giving two options for the play. it worked if you watch the replay. They said Butch called it though

Admit that firing Brady was the right thing to do. It's time.
I always said that if I'm AD, you get four consecutive sanction-free years, and then I decide. If I keep you after that, then I fire you if you have two consecutive years of regression* or horrible suckage.
Sticking with that philosophy, I would have fired John Brady, the greatest basketball coach of all fricking time, after the end of last season.
*If a team wins the national title one year, loses in the title game the next year, and goes to the elite eight the next year, that's two consecutive seasons of regression, but come on.
