He underachieved last year with 2 NBA players, Quarterman and Hornsby (1st round exit, barely made tournament)


1st round exit aside being an 8 or 9 seed is not barely making the tournament. Let's also remember that they were a wide open Mickey layup away from possibly going to the Sweet 16.

The program is in much better shape than when he took over and this is the first year where the team did not improve over the previous season.

I am not defending Jones. I think he is an above average recruiter and average at best bench coach. I am stating facts and the reasons they will give him one more year.

If you think LSU was some mortal lock for the tournament last year, you're kidding yourself.

Maybe, but LSU tried as hard as they could to get left out of the tournament in 2 of their last 3 games entering the NCAAT. The major sin that deserves to follow CJJ is not getting the team to play at a consistent level when there is something on the line. This killed us in 2014 and it looks like it will kill us this year.

Even his best supporters think he is a below average coach. Why are we settling for this? Do you think LSU will ever have a more talented lineup than this year?

Do you think that Jones will improve as a coach?
