Serious candidates only (ie, not Floyd, not Huggins, not a guy who has one year of head coaching experience, and not a guy who sucked at UCLA and is sucking in DIII right now).

VCU's guy and Tubby are two. Brady Bashers, try really hard to be smart for once here. You haven't been able to fire Brady and it's been 11 years, so we all know how ineffective and unimportant you people are.

Throw some names at me.



**Thought I was on the coaching changes board originally--color scheme is the same.

Tubby would be great. Why is Floyd not an option? I think he might would be interested

There is a coaching changes board.....I'll go with Ditka. I know he coached football, but the man is a genius. Look what he did for the Saints.

Floyd has never won a major conference, been to a Final Four, or stayed in a place for more than a handful of years. What makes you think he'd do ANY of that at LSU?

Floyd? No.

UNO's Joe Pasternack.

He's turned that team around in no time. We need a hungry young coach like him.

Tubby is a hero in these parts. I think he'd be nuts to go back to the SEC. All he has to do is go .500 here and he will be a hero for a long time. I think he'll spend the next seven years in MN brining the Gophers to above average, then retire a legend. MN's expectations are not high in comparison with the religion that is sports in the SEC.

Right. So Tubby is out.

That leaves VCU's hero and UNO's hero.

Anybody else?

(This is why you don't just pop off and fire a guy fresh off a Final Four, Bashers)

Floyd had his chance and passed on it when Dale retired. I stopped worshiping him then (although, I did lives in Ames for three years and still am a big ISU fan). Like Miles to Michigan or Del Rio to the Tigers, I think you get one chance, and if you blow it, the affair is over.

Andy Kennedy, Anderson (UAB), Larry Eustacy (Sp??) (Southern Miss), Mike McConathy (despite how bad they are this year).

Here is my longshot:

Chad McDowell, head coach at LSUS. He was hired to restart LSUS' basketball program in 2003 (about 15 years w/o basketball). He has had his team in the final four once I believe. This year he is ranked in the top 5 in NAIA Div. I. He's a young guy from Louisiana and is familiar with recruiting the state, although not at an SEC level. I have seen him coach both at the high school and college level and he knows how to win, I would like to see him at a mid-major before coming to LSU.

Coming from a man who boldy defends John Brady. That explains so much.

I'll throw a wildcard out. Rob Evans. He might be too old?
quote:


Evans was hired as the Sun Devils head coach prior to the 1998-99 season and was fired after the 2005-06 season. Prior to coming to Arizona State, he coached at Ole Miss where, in 1997 and 1998, he led the Rebels to back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time since 1937-38. He was named the Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year and the College Hoops Insider National Coach of the Year in 1997 as he led Ole Miss to a 20-9 record and the SEC West title.

In April 2007, Evans was hired as an assistant coach for the University of Arkansas men's basketball team by new head coach John Pelphrey.

why so we can hire a coach who can't win in the post-season?

tom penders from houston or adam kennedy -- 2 guys who haven't won in the post-season either
