I'll have an order of humble pie

John Brady must just like living on the edge.

How else do you explain the LSU Tigers basketball team this year?

Brady gets his new contract after a Final Four year. The guy was actually considered for a couple of other jobs. But he stays in Baton Rouge.

For the first time since he has been at LSU he has job security. His team is ranked in the top five nationally in preseason.

Oh, about that job security, well, not so much anymore.

In a span of five months, Brady squandered all of his previous gains. His team finished last in the SEC West. It didn't make the NCAA Tournament. Heck, he didn't even make the NIT.

So LSU will go into the 2007-08 season where it seemingly has always been under Brady, with a coach on the hot seat again.
