As usual, you idiots still don't get it. Your so called Bashers never had the power to fire Brady; only the administration has that power. The only power the Bashers had over the past 5 or 6 years was to Bash Brady and scare off potential talent from the program--job well done.

The Bashers didn't care what effect they had on the recruiting program during Brady's tenure, and they didn't care if we ever won championships. Actually, they were happy when we lost.

This I agree with.......and how I felt.


The above is what I do not like about the rant. I wanted the BB program at LSU to do good. I am a 4 seat season ticket holder. How many are you are that?

Trent is doing great with veteran players and did great at Stanford. LSU started off with the weakest non-conference schedule ever and entered the SEC with the weakest conference team ever. And the guys on the LSU team have been playing great. Trent has done an outstanding job with the players. They are playing for him and LSU and that is something they did not do with Brady. I am not a Brady lover. I just couldn't stand the way the jerks on the rant treated him.

If Brady was coaching this season, and he had gotten the team to over achieve this year, as he had many times in the past with a lot younger and less experienced players than we have this year, the Bashers would still be saying he needs to win in the first round of the NCAA or be fired.

Thank god you idots are not saying that about Johnson. We have met the enemy and they are us.


and I agree with this........

I was not wrong and those bashers were way out of line.......

Brady ended up at a minor like ASU because that's all he had...or go back to div II where he belongs. He was a cheap hire from a small school. He was all we had in 1997 to really choose from. We took what they gave us.
And Brady and LSU both overachieved in the next decade. How many SEC titles and Final Four appearances did you expect from Brady? As for me and most others, 0 and 0.

Brady exceeded expectations at LSU. For that, we should pat him on the back and wish him luck in the future.

You nailed it Pisces! The only reason Brady even ever got the job here was because of the Dranconian Sanctions which yall are so fond of! He will never be hired by any Real Div 1 school. Matter of fact Brady lovers, put your money where yalls big mouths are! When is Brady's interview with Alabama or Georgia scheduled for? I'm sure they will not want to pass up on such a talented and personable coach as this! Tell me when you find out when his interviews are. I'm sure he will get shots at those jobs, since according to yall, he is just outstanding, and there are no dranconian sanctions at either Bama or Georgia to deal with either, so no built in excuses shitheads. Plus he knows the SEC, or rather knows how to lose in it, and should know the south and the surrounding recruiting territories!

(If you choose to reply to this post, can you please refrain from using references to gay anal sex? )

This isn't a good point imho. Regardless of how good a coach Brady is or isn't (and the fact is that he's a great defensive coach with a need for an "offensive coordinator" - anybody who doesn't understand that needs to). Most people on this board and everywhere will agree that Kevin Stallings of Vanderbilt is a swell coach, but he never gets a job offer from anybody anywhere. Why? Hell if I know. Nice guy, graduates his players, often coaches a team of overachievers...but he's on nobody's short list.

There are plenty of coaches like this.

Just because a coach doesn't get job offers out the arse doesn't mean he isn't good.

He's a fricking joke. You can talk about his few years here that were decent all you want, and by the way, all 3 of those even ending in catastrophic crushing embarrasing beatdowns! If as yall say he was so fricking great, then why is he at Arkansas St? Why assholes! Cause any AD with a brain will never hire him as a basketball coach at a decent Div 1 school

Bobby Moore as usual, plays both sides of the fence. I know you're a Brady lover, you Brady lover you.

He exceeded expectations in 2000. He then found ways to get us right back there and then choke. You enjoyed the Purdue and UAB games? The UAB game, alone, is worthy of dismissal. He had played them 15 months earlier and won...then looked totally unprepared and brooked trout in Boise for the rematch. That was when I had enough.

The next season, he deserved props, but he also had a team that was as talented as any at LSU...ever. He got us up again and the we laid an egg vs. UCLA. Humiliating, as the entire country was wathcing.

Main gripes - horrible with fans and media and horrible with player relations. Lost the big games he should have won. Yes, he won some big games. That's why this is a debate. If he had finished with ALL losing seasons, I am sure we wouldn't discuss this...although a couple of you would still be yelling Draconian Sanctions!!! at the top of your trees.

I bet xiv names his next born, Draco Brady (insert last name here).

Hmmm...I'd say it's a telling sign of how good he really is. No one's calling Dennis and ole Mimke either. I think Brady is in the class with them.

With all due respect,what's the point of these threads ? Now,you know I enjoy discussing old LSU stuff--any sport. But Brady is gone. Fired.Out the door.

But to bring him up and rag him (and certainly not just you) is pointless.I'm glad he's gone,but for some people to refuse to acknowledge any of his sucess is ludicrous. The two SEC titles ,Sweet 16 and Final Four were tremendous. Brady my no means is the only guy to lay and egg in the Final Four. I can bore you to tears with great teams and names from the past that did much,much worse than the 2006 LSU team did against UCLA.

This is where you set yourself up for pwnage as a fan.

Let me be clear here: You are a shitty fan.

Why?

You would rather fire Brady than keep Brady and go to the Final Four. You aren't satisfied with rooting for the P&G as we true fans are. You can't get past your dislike for the coach. Nothing against you personally, but if you can't enjoy basketball because of who's coaching your team, you probably don't really like basketball that much. And if you can't root for LSU happily no matter who the coach is, you're not an LSU fan.

And also, name a single basketball coach who preceded Brady at LSU who went to the NCAA Tournament and got fired for losing in the first round?

Your posts suggest that you haven't the slightest idea of how things work.

Wrong. You are. You'd settle for a coach that makes an arse of himself in public, a horrible ambassador for LSU, and a guy who could not keep control of his players. HOW MANY MORE PLAYERS NEEDED TO LEAVE TIL YOU SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL? I loved Dale, despite his antics, because he unified our fans with our former players. He did whatever he could do to promote his program (games at the Dome - including '88 and '89 when we had preseason ranked LAST teams) and always went the extra mile to be involved outside of LSU. John Brady was an arse hole. Don't give me the Bear Bryant and Bob Knight were assholes too. Brady is NOT in that category.

Don't ASSume. I am a true fan and will be in the PMAC tonight. I was on the Brady Basher wagon LOOOONG after it got rollin. Believe me. I admit...the Final 4 was a shock, but I want CONSISTENCY in my program. We had ZERO hope with Brady.

Dale lost to Dayton, Navy, Georgetown, UTEP, U Conn, and Cal in the first round. He also won TWO final fours - one with an 11 seed. He also got LSU basketball on the map the way Skip did baseball. Other than Maravich, no one gave a shite.

I'm probably a better fan than you. I don't want cursing, drunk bafoons who marry strippers to represent my alma mater. I might expect that out of my friends...not someone who is in the public eye of LSU.

A. Why did TJ have to suspend Martin... on this point, you FAIL! TJ has said it is not his responsiblity to promote the program except by winning, and as far as I can see, he doesn't promote it... on this point, you FAIL!! Brady was on the same pace as Daddy Dale as far as SEC titles and Final Fours... on this point, you FAIL!!

Epic Fail!

Look at Terry Martin now, dense boy. Imagine a coach that disciplines and then gets the most out of his player.

Weak. Guess you haven't been in the PMAC once this year.

What??????

Dale won more games than lost from 1984-1993. I need I59 to remind me of 82-83. Pace? What pace?

Hail Brady the greatest coaching mastermind in the history of NCAA basketball.

It seems like the hardcore brady supporters want TJ to lose just to prove a point. I thought you were an LSU fan? apparently not and only a brady fan.

This is going to be really easy...

I have my own private affairs about which to worry, and I am unconcerned with those of a college athletics coach. I root for the Tigers, and I don't need to gossip like a 12-year old girl about basketball coaches .

Again, why do I care whether or not a coach is an a-hole? Almost every coach who has ever coached anything is an a-hole. You're making a shitty argument about something that doesn't matter! Despite everything you've just said about Brady, he still won the SEC and went to the Final Four with a frequency that is virtually identical to that of Dale Brown.

You can worry about who the coach is fricking, and which players don't like LSU anymore because the coach hurt their feelings, and I'll continue to have my retinas burned by the glare of trophies.

Why? Because I'm a fan, and you're a little girl.
quote:

Then go follow Tim fricking Floyd, who CONSISTENTLY almost wins something.

In what alternate dimension do you live that allows you to say with conviction that we had ZERO hope with a coach who had our team within two wins of a national title, which is as far as LSU men's basketball has ever been?

Brady's tragic flaw was that he neither could coach offense well nor hire an assistant who could. If he'd even hired some 24-year-old dipshit who went to a Pete Carill basketball camp and brought him to LSU to coach the back-pick offense, Brady would still be here, we'd have a couple more trophies, and you and your Babysitter's club would still be pouting because your coach doesn't smile at you enough.
quote:

Two Final Fours and Four SEC titles in 25 years. Comparable to one Final Four and two SEC titles in 11 years. Each coach exceeded expectations.

(And don't reply with the canned "Are you seriously comparing Dale Brown to John Brady" bullshite. If you think I love John Brady, you should hear the high praise I have for Daddy Dale.)
quote:

I'm probably a better fan than you. I don't want cursing, drunk bafoons who marry strippers to represent my alma mater. I might expect that out of my friends...not someone who is in the public eye of LSU.

Then I would advise you to stop worrying about the private lives of all who are associated with LSU. If not, you are in line to find out a lot of things that will make you slit your wrists.

To Trent Johnson: Curse, drink, and marry as many whores as you want--I don't give a shite!

Man, that is sad. You don't comprehend well. Thanks for not answering the question as to why TJ suspended Martin. I know you don't want to... MISERABLE FAIL!! The PMAC was half empty until recently. But, the size of the crowd has NOTHING to do with whether TJ promotes the program, which he said he would not and does not... MISERABLE FAIL!! I said Brady was on the same pace as Daddy Dale when it comes to SEC titles and Final Fours. Brady was averaging about 1 SEC title every 5 years, and a Final Four about every 10, which is the same as Daddy Dale...MISERABLE FAIL!! Learn to read!!!!!
