John Brady to Arkansas State, confirmed

[Justifiable Hogicide]

It does beat what they had.

Brady is an upgrade over TCTWF's brother.

Make no mistake John Brady is one hell of a recruitor and he is very,very,very close to Memphis.

[DizzyHawgFan]

This reminds me of the Ray Perkins hire.

That was my thought about the Nolan situation.

[Hogs4Ever]

Step up for ASU, a plummeting cliff drop for Brady.

I think it is a good hire. This hire puts more pressure on memphis. There could have been unrealisitic pressure at LSU because of the success of the football program. Atleast we waited until after the season to get rid of heath. That also tells me alot. Good hire hopefully he is there for awhile.

Those of you who think Brady was a good recruiter and coach are out of your $%@#@ minds!

His 5 starters on his ONE final four team all went to highschool within 30 miles of the LSU campus! A recruiter would have won the National championship 2 years straight with that kind of recruiting base.

LSU is a sleeping giant and took a giant step toward becoming a power in basketball by ridding themselves of that bum Brady.

I think it's a great hire for A-State.

Brady took a probation-wracked mess at LSU and made it a winner.  That team from Hoosiers had more scholarship players on it than LSU did in Brady's first season.

LSU's close to New Orleans, but if you've ever been to the Pete Marivich Assembly Center, it's like a compost heap under a dome tent.  Compared to even modest basketball facilities in the Southeast, it's just not a good facility.  It's like a big Tad Pad, which is also a pretty bad facility.

Brady's a lot better hire than either Richardson or Dickey.  Still, it says a lot for ASU's potential that some coaches with some historical success were interested in the job.

Congratulations to Arkansas State!

[Albert Einswine]

Good to see ASWho getting LSWho's sloppy seconds.

[Sivad]

Even a fired and failed SEC coach is certainly an improvement over what they had..........a member of the infamous Nutt clan.

[RedSatinHog]

I still think John Brady looks like Otis from Andy Griffith.

He reminds me of Frazier Crane (aka Kelsey Grammar) from Cheers.

[JawsTheme]

Wow ASU pulled one great hire.

Brady had no luck getting LSew to put money in its program, and the injuries slammed them this year haaard.

Brady is a good coach. Typical hick fans here hating him cause of LSU.
