Interesting story about Brady. Was headed to Tuscaloosa with a small group for LSU /Bama years ago(football). Oddly enough it was when Saban was at LSU still, Bama was terrible, I don't think they got a first down in the first half. Anyway before we get out of the Baton Rouge area we pull through a Walmart to grab a couple of things we forgot. One guy jumps out of the RV to go in and John Brady is walking out of the Walmart so while the door is open one of our guys yells out to him, hey coach what's up. He casually steps up into the RV and spends a bit just talking basketball, that year's team, etc. No selfies, no fanfare, just like he ran into a group of old friends and wanted to visit for a minute.

Johnny Jones? A good fit, and he might be available when TSU lets him go this year

You do know he's on Wade's staff here, right?

That's why I believe Brady is a really good dude.

I think he really cared about LSU and his job performance obviously, and would get frustrated if his players/staff didn't match that intensity.

IF those rumors about dip shite baby and the rest of the team partying and getting high the night before the Final 4 are true, I bet that crushed him.

He most likely had a rough relationship with the media, because you know they're gonna media.

I think he'd be a GREAT next door neighbor.

At the time I was connected with the spouse of someone involved in the program. I have no doubt those rumors were true. Along with locker room issues related to some - er - shared conquests and group activities. They were a hell of a team but as I understand it there were some character challenges too. We obviously know about Davis, but he was the one who got later caught publicly.

His postgame with Will Wade was always fantastic and some of the best radio commentary LSU offered. I was looking forward to this in the upcoming season.

I thought he was kind of an a-hole when he coached at LSU, which is fine if you win consistently. It seems he’s mellowed with age.

So did I. In retrospect he had to deal closely with BRs favorite slumlord, so think we all might have a little sympathy for him.
