I know, negatiger. I have always like Steve Lavin. Go get him and see what he can do at LSU. Guy killed it at UCLA. I know, Trent Johnson.

If LSU doesn't make the NIT, then I think we need to fire JJ and look for a new coach. Opposite of TJ, can recruit but can't coach.

Flame away

Absolutely. I still think this team gets it together and will make the NCAA though.

that doesn't fix the lack of cohesive offense.
and if your shooting 20%, why the hell are you continuing to heave it up from the parking lot.

Agreed and I am by far not a basketball expert. Just thinking most here thought this was an NCAA tourney team. It doesn't look good now, although things can change.

To me, Simmons can't be the best. Most of those guys are bigs or shooters. If he is a shooter than he needs to start being selfish and start shooting.

Bc we have zero inside presence and the best passer in the game. We are taking open shots, they'll fall.

Making the NIT should not be looked at as some kind of accomplishment for this team. It should be looked at as a complete disappointment. There is still a lot basketball left to be played, but if this season goes south then what logical basis would there be for keeping Jones? If he can't do anything with maybe the most talented team he will ever have at LSU, then what makes you think he will ever be able to accomplish anything of note? As far as I can tell, there are no more huge recruits out there for him to fall arse-backwards into. He's already failed to make the NCAAT once with a frontcourt of 3 NBA players (O'Bryant, Mickey, Martin)

Go back to when Jones was hired. Very few people on here were excited about the hire and almost all were concerned about his coaching ability. Three years later the same concerns are there. This is "next year" for LSU. If he is a championship level coach, then now is the time to prove it!

Why was he fired there then, just like he did at St. John's?

I currently have them as a #12 seed in the NIT. Thats if all goes well. Upvote the JJ is horrible by the previous poster. Watch out because admins will run you for having an opinion on this current basketball coach.

He is not a shooter. Shooting is a very big weakness in his game. It's the reason Marquette was damn near sitting in the paint while guarding him and he still wouldn't shoot a jumper.

What about his buyout? Seems he should pay LSU to resign.

I still say a Johnny Jones/JOhn Brady pairing would solidify the issues Jone's teams have. Sad to think Brady is the best gameday coach LSU has ever had.
