In this thread I have also said that coaches will stick up for Brady. I don't understand the point about the media? Who cares? According to the media Notre Lame and USC is better than Florida and LSU in football but the last few years have proved otherwise. USC is number 1 every year. My point is that the media these days make up their own stories about the world and their own kind for a story. Why should they have any credibility left? I will apologize, the whole Brady thing pisses me off, fired up. I'm glad he is gone and the fighting between LSU fans on this board and other places can finally stop. You haven't been here through this whole fiasco I have. Brady's SEC record stands on its own merit along with his graduation rate. 74-93 in eleven years, he should've been gone long ago. The only reason why this was tolerated is because it wasn't football. We all know Sabanfan and the Brady bunch seem to be happy with that record. In Sabafans case, basketball is just something to get him from football to baseball. Sabanfan is negative towards the mens basketball program, really and yet the womens basketball team is contending every year and considered somewhat a powerhouse. So why in the hell can't the men be like the womens program Gumb and SF? Really there isn't anything left to say but I'm looking for a fresh, new start.
I guess not, since you've said the same things about 400 times. And your newest little phrase "could care less"? It's "could not care less".
Good guy. Bad guy. Good coach. Bad Coach. Moot point. He's gone. I don't follow basketball that closely but I get the sense that not many people are shedding tears. I still remember the days of Dewayne Scales, Rudy Macklin, Greg "Cookieman" Cook etc. I know Dale Brown gets alot of heat for his coaching skills but the team was fun to watch in those days.
It is what it is! I just think about all the meaningless conversations people have had with you concerning basketball when no one realized you where coming from a different viewpoint meaning most LSU fans want LSU basketball to be better or good and you could care less!:wink: Since you don't care about basketball, why do you waste your time posting in these threads when you could be posting about football or baseball? Just a thought? I mean, I could care less about college baseball and you don't see me wasting my time over there!:thumb:
"Our football team they don't want to play no tough preseason games. They want to play 4 dummies or 5 guys you've never heard of." -- John Brady. This is in a year when LSU played seven ranked teams, beat six of them including top-10 Virginia Tech in OOC play, and won the National Championship. Trying to blame his failure on his own scheduling and dissing another LSU program that happens to be succeeding ( and paying for his money-losing basketball program!).
The reason I say LSU can contend on a regular basis is you have the facilities and the means. It doesn't matter if football is the number one sport. UF was having great success on the football field under Spurrier when Lon Kruger left. Foley went out and hired a young Billy Donovan from Marshall. Everybody knows Donovan spent time under Pitino, and he called Pitino before accepting the offer from Foley. Pitino told him not to take the job because it is a football school and he wouldn't have the support he needed to succeed. Petino was wrong because Foley is determined to make UF the best ATHLETIC program in the country. He has fired plenty of coaches besides Zook. Zook's firing just brought a lot of attention. We have gone through a few baseball coaches as well. We played Texas in the college world series back in 2005. Pat McMahon was the coach and it was his 4th season. Foley let him go after last year. Point is, Bertman wants the best for your program and he's leaving pretty soon. He doesn't want to leave a mess for the next AD. If a good coach is brought in, and success follows, nobody will remember what any other coaches or the media said about Brady's firing. The thing that isn't fair is that everytime you guys play a televised game this year, there will probably be some comment made about what a good coach Brady was.
By the way, congrats on the win. "I'm watching Garrett Temple and there is blood coming down this guy's mouth, and I can just see in him the fire and the hardness. He had enough. He had enough of losing. He had enough of everything," Donovan said. "I don't see any of our guys hardened like that. I don't know if any of our guys would have gotten back up off the floor after that."
