John Brady is the logical choice to replace Will Wade

John Brady is the perfect fit to take over the basketball program. He has been there before, inheriting a program under draconian sanctions. It would be almost impossible to hire any major coach from a successful program who has been to the NCAA tournament several times, especially if there is a two year tournament ban.. Thus the only coaches who might take it would be a latter day John Brady who is willing to take on the challenge. They may hit again and get someone with at least the success Brady had, but could also wallow around and become an even more moribund program with someone over their head.

The John Brady today would enter the job without the pressure of having to prove himself. He would be more flexible and in tune with today's college basketball world. The expectations would not be great and he could essentially have a three to four year honeymoon tenure . With the right staff and effectively using the same tactics as Wade but in the form of the NIL inducements he could begin to rebuild the roster. At the end of the three year period LSU and Brady could assess where the program is going and decide whether the program would be in a better spot to hire a new coach than it is today with the uncertainty hanging over it. This would be a win for all.

If you disagree then give your reasons and your suggestions instead of the usual ad hominem attacks and sarcastic comments.
