This may be one of the dumbest comments I have ever read on this board. "Well he's an LSU alumni, so his failure to put his players in a position to win is fine by me."

You're reading comprehension sucks. Him being alumni matters to me and LSU people. If you don't think it matters then you have no stake in the program anyway. It's the whole reason he is here. To toss that aside and say it doesn't make a difference now is just stupid.

Quick trigger? He's been here for 5 years now and his claim to fame is blowing a 20 point lead in the first round of the NCAA tournament in his only appearance

Once again, you don't get it. Trent Johnson had two straight losing seasons (11-20 in both), he didn't get fired. He was given a 3rd year, bolted to TCU and left LSU in a shithole. Jones came back, after the University had thrown him the wolves, and took a low ball offer to rebuild the program. He hasn't had a losing season since. So yes, why the quick trigger to get rid of Jones now?

Btw, here is Jones' resume (LINK ). I believe it's pretty damn impressive and I'm glad he represents this University. That's why I don't lose my shite after every loss and try to run him out of town. But go ahead and keep running him down. I'm going to keep defending him though..
