<div> Lets
first look at Johnson at Stanford. Stanford was a pretty good gig when
Johnson took over for Mike Montgomery. How good? Well in the previous
7 seasons Stanford went an incredible 188-40. Basically averaged 27-6
for seven seasons. They made the tournament during all seven years,
getting past the first round every year, going to one elite eight, and
one final four. the other five years they didn't get past the second
round. Not a perfect resume, but certainly a Top 10-20 program in the
country during this 7 year stretch.<div>
</div><div>Well
Montgomery leaves to go to the NBA and here comes Trent Johnson, the hot
name from Nevada. He promptly turns in a 18-13 record, (the worst
record at Stanford in a dozen years) and is one of the last teams in the
tourney and gets bounced in the first round. Follows that up with a
16-14 record and a trip to the NIT. Congratulations Coach Johnson, you
just broke an 11 year of NCAA tourney appearances. When you accomplish
something that hasn't been done in a dozen years at a school, that
certainly is noteworthy. Follows up that fantastic 2nd season with a
3rd season of 18-13 and once again gets a miracle bid to the NCAA
tourney, which of course they get bounced in the first round. Now I
will give you that Johnson's 4th season was strong. He went 26-8 in the
regular season and went to the sweet sixteen. Solid year at a once Top
20 program. In fact his best year 26-8, was an average year 27-6 at
Stanford before he got there. That is the best example of a bad hire,
his best effort is what his predecessor would have considered an average
season.</div><div>
</div><div>Im not going to break down his 5
years at Nevada. Im just going to post his record: 79-74, one tourney
appearance which was a sweet sixteen, that got him a gig at Stanford.</div><div>
</div><div>So to recap, Johnson's record at Stanford in 4 years: 80-48 The previous 7 years at Stanford: 188-40;</div><div>
</div><div>So basically he lost 8 more games in 3 less years. </div><div>
</div><div>That is Trent Johnson.</div></div></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table>
