I was one of the fans that wanted Dixon, Smart, Pastner, etc.. and was saying lets throw 2.2 mil a year and get one of these guys. Maybe we couldve got one of those guys but they wouldve been here for financial reasons. Jones is at LSU because he wants to be, he is a true Tiger and if you couldnt see that from his genuine enthusiam on that podium youre blind. Im stoked about the future of the basketball program and I have no doubt Coach Jones will do everything in his power to turn this program around and get it back to what it should be.

I have a good feeling about him. Him actually wanting to be here is really nice

Any new coach is obviously gonna be optimistic, humorous, and say what the fans want to hear. This was the case, but I can tell he's got tourney fever and wants to bring back the glory days to the city. 1 step down, now let's recruit and see what we can put together.

Hey he might end up being a terrible hire from a politically motivated coaching search but at least he bleeds royal blue and canary yellow!

Trent Johnson was a press-conference crusher as well, and that was the main reason so many were all about him from the get go.

I remember how impressed I was with Trent Johnson's introductory press conference. He spoke really well, said all the right things, talked about fan support, talked about getting Louisiana's best recruits, etc.

Sound familiar?

Of course he does.

You ever been to that shithole known as Denton, Texas?

I totally agree. I feel the same exact way. Jones will pour his soul into this program.
