LSU Head Coach fired

[tornado]

only two years from a Final Four appearance, and after turning down HUGE, lucrative offers to go elsewhere, LSU head basketball coach John Brady was fired! Press conference set for noon...
USC's Tim Floyd and VCU's Anthony Grant's names are mentioned.

The only part that would be a slight step up would be fans. I know LSU isn't a basketball power. I just always get the impression watching USC that fans could care less if they have a Bball team. The stands are frequently half empty. Maybe that is changing now with Floyd though.

I just watched some of Brady's press conference and he was really broken up. Lots of tears as he got through his speech.

Anthony Grant would be a fabulous hire there IMO...a great fit for that program and he already has established a great southern recruiting base after coaching at UF
