re: We need to get Dana Ford hired as the next LSU basketball coach

You must have missed the part where I said he inherited a terrible program that returned one player. He went 5-26 his first year, 20-11 his next year and he's now 9-3 with his losses being Duke, NC State and Vandy.

By the way, he's the same age that Coach K was when he was hired at Duke. The same age as Jim Boeheim when he was hired at Syracuse. A year older than Bobby Knight when he was hired at Indiana. A year older than Brad Stevens when he was hired at Butler and a year older than Billy Donavan when he was hired at Florida. Two years older than John Calipari when he was hired at UMass. Three years older than Dean Smith when he took over at North Carolina.

When you can coach, you can coach.
