LSU, Stanford: LSU Wants to Bring Johnson to the Bayou




LSU Wants to Bring Johnson to the Bayou: According to sources familiar with LSU’s coaching search, the Tigers plan to hire Stanford coach Trent Johnson to replace John Brady. LSU fired Brady near the end of the season, and assistant Butch Pierre finished the season as interim coach. In four seasons with the Cardinal, Johnson led Stanford to an 80-48 record and took the team to the Sweet 16 this past season. He helped bring twin 7-footers Brook and Robin Lopez to Stanford, giving the Cardinal one of the most dominating front lines in the Pac-10. Both Lopez twins announced that they are entering the NBA Draft. [4/09/08]
