Best hire IMO, if only for the nepotism that could get me a cushy basketball operations job.

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.


This recruiting class is already blown. Maybe you salvage Hammink or Coleman because of their local ties but I don't think we should rush the hire just to get someone in place early in the signing period.

I agree. Don't rush it just for recruiting.

Win-Win situation.

For TJ, no doubt.

For LSU, it's just a win-? at this point.

This hire will need to be win.

This is good news for Trent and for LSU. I am happy to have him go to TCU--he seems like a decent person and I am happy to have him land on his feet. However, I do not think that LSU was heading upward under his direction, and after watching LSU basketball for the past four years it seems that we were not going to get into the upper echelons of the SEC without a coaching change. We just have not been able to recruit the talent necessary to compete with the best teams in the SEC on a consistent basis.

Can't blame the guy. Awesome situation for him.

I think LSU will still somehow screw this up.

Hopefully LSU can convince the few prospects left to wait to sign.

Somehow still land Hammink and Coleman, maybe a juco post player. That would be enough for now, at a minimum.

2 million for what - the poor coach so many idiots here claimed was the messiah?

John Brady was the guy to keep and was treated poorly. I call the entire TJ era Karma.

Why?

He finished 6th in the West FIVE times and made the NCAA Tournament 4 times in 11 years

It's not worth keeping a coach that finishes last in the SEC more than he makes the Tournament
