Coaching careerβ»
Early careerβ»
After a year as a graduate assistant at Mississippi State, Brady began coaching in the high school ranks of Louisiana. In 1981 Brady was named the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class AAA "Coach of the Year." After returningββto MSU to serve eight years as an assistant under Bob Boyd and Richard Williams, Brady was named head coach at Samford University in 1992. At the time of his departure, Brady was the winningest coach in Samford history, garnering an 89β77 record in six seasons.
LSUβ»
In 1997, Brady replaced the legendary Dale Brown as head coach at LSU. When Brady arrived, the program was under probation. And stinging from a recruiting scandal. Brady's first two years were rough.
In 2000 the Tigers broke through, posting 28β6 record and an NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearance. However, due to the loss of Stromile Swift and Jabari Smith to the 2000 NBA draft, the Tigers could not carry their momentum to the next year, going 13β16 in 2001.
Brady's team entered the 2005β06 season unranked. But were coming off a solid season in which they went 20β10 and made the NCAA tournament. Led by, Glen "Big Baby" Davis and Tyrus Thomas, the Tigers won their first outright SEC regular season championship since 1985, and earned a #4 seed in the NCAA tournament. After wins over Iona and Texas A&M, LSU defeated the #1 seed Duke and #2 seed Texas to make it to their first Final Four since 1986. Set at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana, the 2006 Final Four was the first since 1980 to feature no #1 seeds (LSU, #2 UCLA, #3 Florida and #11 George Mason). Facing the #2 seed Bruins in the national semifinals, the Tigers were unable to solve UCLA's defense, losing 59β45, dropping LSU to 0β6 all-time in the men's Final Four (and 0β10 in all Final Four games, including an 0β4 mark in the women's Final Four). Despite the loss, the 2005β06 season will be, remembered as one of the most successful in LSU men's basketball history. John Brady was fired in the middle of his 11th season as LSU's head basketball coach and "just two seasons after the Tigers' latest Final Four appearance."
In 10 seasons at LSU, Brady compiled a 184β126 record, including two SEC Regular Season Titles and four NCAA tournament appearances.
