Also, I'm sure it's been discussed, but Tony Bennett's wife is from Baton Rouge. I know for a fact they were VERY interested in coming back while they were at Wazzu.

Now I'm not sure that's the case anymore. Maybe there's less competition and easier admission requirements, but UVA has a SICK new arena and plenty of $$

Tony Bennett is making 1.92 million dollars until the 2020-2021 season. If he left after this year, he would owe UVA 1.2 million dollars.

Basically, if you wanted to fire Jones and hire Bennett for next season, LSU would have to pay 2.4 million dollars (1.2 to Johnny Jones and 1.2 to UVA), in addition to a raise for Bennett which would probably be 2.5 million per year for 6 years. After what just happened with the Miles debacle, do you really think anyone will approve that?

No

That's really not that much money at all. Seriously I'd piss my pants if we stole him from UVA

jones only makes 1.5 million. tony bennett would make a ton of sense.

bottom line is, you have to spend money to get the best coaches.
