100% class and deserves a lot of credit for the final fours etc. More than anything he is the only person who stayed from Gunter to Van and did a masterful job keeping the scandal out of things as much as possible. Wish NC would have kept him, but then we would not get to see her male coach get arrested...sorry, in any case, thanks Bob, most of LSU appreciates you

Starkey was offered the job and said that he had no desire to take on the responsibilities of being a head coach. He is recognized as one of THE BEST coaches in the game. I think it would've been difficult for Nikki to keep him around because he's a better, more seasoned coach than she is at this point. It might've made things very awkward. As it is things have worked out. He's working with another one of the best coaches in the game and we have a young, up and coming coach who will be with the program for years.
