The decision weighed heavily on Johnson, who struggled with the thought of leaving his players behind. However in the end, Johnson decided a TCU salary sources say is in the neighborhood of two million dollars a season, with even more financial incentives to graduate players, was too good to pass up.
Proof that the Barnett Shale can pump some money up TCU's arse but it sure doesn't make 'em smart.
$2 million for a guy leaving a team with 8 scholarship players! Imbeciles.

More money then too. Dude's a fricking genius. I also don't think he has an agent. At least he didn't have one previously.

I'm sure Dixon talked to them out of courtesy, as an alum, but I doubt he was serious.

the last paragraph is kinda sobering. let's at least TRY and aim a little higher than jones.

So Trent must be awesome in an interview. I really wanted him to succeed, and even moreso recently after he gave Collis Temple the stiff arm. Why don't we just hire Collis Temple now since he is the self-professed Godfather of LSU basketball.

I have a feeling TCU will be dominate soon. That would be funny

Yep. Hopefully Alleva listens then does an actual search.

I wish If I sucked at my job I would get a raise to go somewhere else

Fwiw, this is the one thing about Alleva that could actually help out LSU. I don't see why he would be a Dale Brown loyalist, and he doesn't have any quid pro quo with the guys who want Jones.

this late and with so little time before the late signing period i doubt they go the search firm route unless they've had something up their sleeve for a while.

Wasn't Johnny the Lester Earl bag man?

The price of mediocrity has gone way way up, apparently.

Win-Win situation.

when's the last time LSU won 20 in a season 5 years in a row???
Look I get everyone having concerns and thinking LSU can do better
but atleast ACKNOWLEDGE that the guy has won at a program that was 1000x worse than LSU is in currently
maybe he's not the guy, but he does deserve a look
