I love him in the booth calling games, but does anyone know if he would even be remotely interested? He knows baseball, he’s got a fresh energy, charismatic, and he even loves LSU.

That’s why people don’t take you all seriously. You all like to hold out LSU baseball as the premiere program in the country and you want to hire someone with zero coaching experience.

Right now, I’d settle for Ben being part of the search committee.

Seems pretty plugged into the CBB world.

Don’t think he would be a great HC choice.

Yea, just shows the ignorance of the rant.

Is it time to move on from Paul? Yes

Can just anybody do better, No

But some jack legs on the rant who couldn't even make it in tee ball think they have all the answers.

Hey now, I’m reasonably certain that he coached his daughter’s softball team.

I’ll admit, I did struggle in tee ball; I never could square it up when the seams were crooked on the tee...but this is the Rant, I’m bored and it was just a question.

He’s never been a coach but you want to give him the keys to our program?

No, hell no

That’s like saying Bert Jones should be our next FB coach or idk maybe Johnny Jones should be our next BB coach

Go find the best man for the job and leave your emotions at the crib

Johnny Jones was 10 times more qualified to be our basketball coach than Ben McDonald is to be our baseball coach.

As much as I hate to admit it, this is absolutely 100% true.

I love Ben McDonald.

But not as a baseball head coach.

I'd rather Kevin Mawae if we're going with a former tiger.

I don't believe Ben would seriously consider such an offer.

Why? LSU should be hiring someone established.

Love him but would rather him remain an icon. A slump at LSU expatriates even the best.
