Not valid excuses. That is CBB in todays world. He has the talent to get to the NCAA tourney and atleast win a game or 2.

I didn't mean it as an excuse i meant it as this is his first year without an excuse. I say make the tourney at minimum. Once in the tourney anything can happen.

Not super crazy about anyone on that staff that can replace him in the interim, either.

Things have to turn around soon, he took North Texas to the NCAA's. More than once.

Ehh, twice in 11 years and both times they won the conference tournament to get in (correct me if I'm wrong, I know one year that was only way they were getting in)

Probably a reason he was at North Texas for 11 years and no big school came after him. I just don't think he is a good coach. I hope to hell he proves me wrong and this team turns it around and does well in SEC play.

He followed that up with saying Jones doesn't know what he is doing and our program is a mess.


And y'all want Alleva to hire a football coach. Chris Vernon should laugh about LSU fans tomorrow.

Not a slam, The Mick, but just wondering if you were around when Dale Brown was coaching LSU.
Yes. Graduated from LSU in 1991.

The writing was on the wall last year during the NC State game. It was so obvious that our team was out coached, and as it unfolded, if one could not see that, you were not watching.

This is the singular factor that the fan base sees again and again in football and basketball.

Getting out coached happens periodically, but in LSU's case it has become an all too common theme.

The fan base will be far more forgiving of mistakes here and there that are normal, than the continual issues that seem to plague these two programs.

Oh...and yes, I was at LSU from 1990-1995...I was a witness to it all.

He needs to worry about Memphis basketball allegations or Ole Miss FB players falling out of hotel windows.

Hopefully that happens after Alleva gets the axe. We don't Alleva naming any more head coaches.

Brady actually was a decent X and O guys. Not great mind you but I think he was better than Dale, TJ, or JJ

Really? Then, why we haven't heard much about Brady's team since he left LSU?

I wonder if the same media roasting Jones will do the same to LSU if they threaten to get rid of him.

He was hired because the right people liked him and they finally wore our admins down after years of trying. It was not because of his resume.

Now I hope he proves me wrong and somehow gets this team together, makes a run and sets up roost for a successful career here. I'd absolutely love to eat crow.

Because I, like most everyone...likes Johnny...that's how he got this job.

I agree, I have been disappointed with CJJ but can you refer to someone that has common sense. You're talking about a guy that loves Pastner and Joerger. He also loves Tony Allen which is a guy that can't even make a layup. So excuse me but I don't give a crap what Chris Vernon thinks. He's funny but he is a homer that doesnt know anything about sports.

Sorry, I'm from Memphis too and that guy won't stop choking on Tony Allen's D. It's unbearable

This stupid shite never ends does it?

Dale Brown is literally a HOF college coach. CJJ can't even be compared.

He had the most talented team ever assembled in college.
Except that at least 2 teams in 89-90 had more pro talent. GT had 3 1st round picks and a 2nd round pick. UNLV was probably tGOAT college team all-time.

But he's a nice guy and good recruiter. He should be given at least one more season to turn it around.


It's not going to change, he is at his peak right now and all downhill from here.
