Personally, I think dumb luck plays a much bigger role in a coach's success than people realize.

On another note, I think this announcement is going to destroy Arkansas State's basketball team. I don't see how a recruit will want to sign not knowing who he's going to be playing for. And I don't see how Brady and his staff would put in the effort to recruit for a team they won't be a part of next year. If I'm the AD, I'd fire Brady yesterday.
---When I was in the publication business doing the yearbooks at schools, my manager use to always say that if you weren't growing you were falling back---there was a need to always keep growing in all phases of the job and like coaches ALWAYS know what your competitors are doing and saying (remind anyone of recruiting???) BTW he was a former LSU basketball assistant that hated that school!!!
