Half of TJs salary goes to the Lopez Twins

Fact
TJ has had 3 good coaching years.
2003-04- Had two future NBA players (Fazekas and Kirk Snyder)
2007-08- Had the Lopez Twins for goodness sake
2008-09- Had 3 NBA players, Marcus Thornton/Chris Johnson/Garrett Temple
All other years of his coaching career:
127-138
But if you just watch the team play, you can tell he can't coach his way out of a paper bag.

Nevada Sweet 16 is one
Stanford making the Tounrnament 3 of 4 years makes 4
LSU going to the Tournament in Trent's 1st year makes 5
So it's 5 years not 3.

2 of those were 18-13 seasons with 20 point blowout losses in the 1st round. That's nothing to write home about.

this looks really good. but when you look it in context of stanfords recent history before that, not so amazing:

CJ has played a grand total of 2 NBA games with 16 minutes and 4 whole points....he's also back down in the d-league so I wouldn't exactly call him an NBA player....that's reaching

The only fact about TJ is that he will recruit 4 year players and not take many chances on guys that Brady did.
Aside from that, he knows more about coaching than anyone on the Rant. I am disappointed with him, but it's not like he's not trying. Let's give him next season. We gave Brady 11. If we do fire Trent, I doubt Ben Howland is about to leave UCLA, nor is Bob Knight coming off of ESPN. If we do axe Trent, we're going to get the same calibur of coach - semi-proven with a method that is very strange to us. Most of us have only seen three LSU coaches since we've been alive. I don't think any of us know who the rigtht fit at LSU even is.

Way to totally overlook his tenure at Nevada. Why don't you do some research on where the program was before Johnson and in what type of condition TJ left the program in?

how exactly? oh wow....a college coach has a good record when he has NBA players on the roster!!! thats ground-breaking shite right there...

his coaching career trends usually look like he takes over a team that is in the dumps and gradually makes them better and then the 3 or 4th year, they become really good and then he leaves for another job. maybe he starts from ground zero and works from there and he just got lucky having guys like thornton and taz his first year on the job at lsu

Wait...so you are saying a coach does better when his players are better?
Unfrickingbelievable. This logic only brings followers on he rant.

Sounds like Trent is a pretty good recruiter, even though a bunch of you claim he isnt

Who are the Lopez Twins? I never heard of them. Unless they are a couple of 5 star linebackers who cares?

I quoted the record of the coach BEFORE said players I think.

So the coach does well when he has good players and doesn't do well when he has shitty players?
Interesting.
