re: hot seat?...bertman

And just why would anyone take advice on hiring coaches or analyzing football outcomes from Stanley "Skip" Bertman?

He should have stuck to baseball and moved on.

quote:

---

while at the "other" school in OK he beat the prevailing #1 coach/team/program in the Nation 2 out of 3 years and nearly 3 in a row.

---

so that makes him a top 10 coach??? come on, even you know that's a stretch...

quote:

---

That, IMHO is good COACHING

---

OK, so he coached good in 2 out of 3 games against OK..

BTW what was his oveall record against Texas? What about Nebraska?

Come on Less wasn't a top ten coach then and he isn't now.. top ten in pay, maybe not in coaching skill...

quote:

---

Skip doesn't lie, does he???

---

I've never caught him in a lie. That's more than I can say for many rantards on this board.....

quote:

---

It is when it is coupled with the fact that Skip didn't want Bianco to be the new head coach.

---

Then why did Skip even unofficially talk with him as many here say did happen. And what would otherwise prompt Bianco to make such a public statement if Skip wasn't at least testing the waters? Behind the scenes "footsie" was being played. That's what it looks like; Skip's fingerprints all over. Then he switched. So Bianco made his public statement after the fact.

I'll take Skip's word over a bunch of pantywaists on a message board who have yet to post a single reliable news source for their claims.

>>>>>>>Pantywaists?<<<<<<<

A new low in name-calling has been achieved, friends and foes. Check it out!

What makes anybody think you have any insider info that has more value, Russian?

dynamite post. I bet you couldn't find the quad on LSU's campus.

Even though Skip is a relative, I'm going to try and keep this as objective as possible

Yes of course he is going to defend his hiring of Miles, he has done good things. But look it seems that Miles has lost the style he had early on and it has come back to hurt the team. It is almost as if the school hired two different coaches.

I meant the guy I responded to. Russian hangs out with the geezers at the coaches committee meetings.

I see. A lapdog.

As a supposed basketball man from Duke-y, the best coach Alleva could find to replace Brady was Trent Johnson

---

FWIW, Johnson is going to throw it in everyone's face within the next 2-3 years.

Close friend happened to be at the same function (guest of a friend of a friend) with Coach "K"while in Charlotte 2 1/2 years ago, just a few weeks after TJ's announced hire. When introduced, he told him he was from Baton Rouge, and Coach "K" followed with, initiated on his own, (paraphrasing)"...... You have one of the best kept secrets in College BB as your new Head Coach. You will be shocked at the quality of basketball he will bring back to LSU, as well as the quality of leadership and integrity he will instill in his players and program." TRUE STORY I took it as both a great complement to Trent, but a dig on Brady and his Crap.

Don't care if you want to call BS, won't bother me at all. I just think he has been dealt a hand from only half the deck, given the mess that A$$ Brady left behind.
