Ray Harper has yet again WON and is headed to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in Jacksonville State History. This does NOT suprise me at all.

I can only imagine what he could do with a program like LSU. you want the winning back? You want the Deaf Dome to be Deafening again? you want to see LSU on top of the basketball world? HIRE RAY HARPER and he will get it done!!

I am as big of an LSU fan as there is in this world, I actually love JJ but things just have not worked out for numerous reasons. Lets take this program to the TOP and don't let one of these other High major schools snag the Hottest coach out there in our back yard. His record speaks for itself!

9 National Championship Appearances
4 National Titles (2 DII) (2 NAIA)
13 Conference Championships (7 DII) (3 NAIA) (3 DI)
3 NCAA DI Tournament Appearances

There is only one coach with more National Championship appearances (9) on any level of men's basketball then Ray Harper and his name is John Wooden.

First head coach to EVER take Jacksonville State to the NCAA Tournament!

All he does is WIN!

You find me a coach with a better resume and I will stand down. Hes not a retread, hes not one of these Young new wave coaches, he is a PROVEN winner with skins on the wall.

How did Mizzou do when they hired a D2 national championship coach?

I'm not arguing for or against Ray Harper, but I feel it is my duty to inform you these carry very little weight in the eyes of our current administration.

Does not Matter, He is not Ray Harper. Besides, Ray has shown Growth at every stop. He has been coaching DI for years now as a HEAD COACH and continues to be a proven winner. Kim Anderson was a Division I assistant and has Missouri ties. Ray Harper is NOT coming from DII level. JSU Was picked 12th in the OVC and is now the Conference Champs going to the NCAA Tournament. Open your eyes, Before another Big time school does.

What happened with him at WKU? I can't remember why he was fired or resigned over there.

He resigned. From what i have heard on the inside it basically came down to the AD trying to micromanage the program. He resigned knowing he could get another Job.

I've known of Ray Harper since his days at Ky Wesleyan


Dude is a snake. don't want him anywhere near our program

unless you want to be on probation

There's a reason the big dogs have stayed away from him...

You OBVIOUSLY DON't know Ray Harper then. He is not a snake at all. The guys is a proven winner and people simply hate on that. Especially in the lower level colleges when recruiting is not as regulated as Division I is. He has NEVER been on probation and he does things MUCH cleaner then other coaches. You have no idea of what your talking about other then what some HATERS may have rumored to you. But in that respect EVERY coach gets hated on, its the nature of the job. He has turned down other Big time jobs in the past btw, so nobody has "Stayed away" from him.

This is a weird thread, Ray.

Besides...You need to be careful what you wish for. You come here - expect phone calls from Dale and Collis on the reg. Like nonstop stage 4 clinger calls.

I'd prefer we just hire you as our AD, Ray. I mean at this point, why not?

yep, he just miraculously won at lower levels of basketball by being much cleaner than all the other coaches

quite amazing he's managed to get such a big time job like Jacksonville State

After he won the Sun Belt Conference two years in a row his name was HOT and he didn't want to just Jump ship and take the wrong High Major job just to be a High Major coach. Guys close to him have personally told me that he is just patiently waiting for the right High Major job offer that he can take and build into a powerhouse. The guy is in no rush and i can respect that. His record speaks for itself. In the mean time he will obviously just keep on winning.

And now he's at Jacksonville St. Hope he makes better decisions the next time.

He is at Jacksonville state, a Champion and IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT! doesn't seem like a bad decision to me.

He is a bitch? lol Well my friend, you don't know him. You may know a coach that he beat over and over again and they don't like him so you don't like him. But lets be honest, You don't know him.
