Assistant Kevin Bromley will be the interim head coach for the rest of the season.

LSU Coach John Brady was warned again that he will be suspended for at least three games if he again publicly criticizes another team, coach or player.

Brady was reprimanded Tuesday for remarks he made after Alabama beat LSU, 82-73, Saturday in Baton Rouge.

“I’m certainly not apologizing,” Brady told The (Baton Rouge) Advocate’s in Wednesday’s editions.

Brady added that when he received Tuesday’s letter from the SEC he “wadded it up and threw it in the trash.” Wednesday, SEC Commissioner Roy Kramer told Brady that if he continues to discuss the matter in a way that “fails to abide by the spirit” of SEC bylaws that he will receive a suspension of three games.
