The decline is real, Geno tells it like it is- "not even the same program.."

On the scoreboard Sunday, LSU was technically twice as good as it was against the Huskies last year when they lost by 46 points, the third-largest margin of defeat in school history, the low point in a 10-21 season that was the school’s worst in 20 years. But, as UConn Coach Geno Auriemma not-so-diplomatically pointed out, the Lady Tigers have a long ways to go to again be a national power, one that denied UConn a Final Four berth back in 2007, LSU’s only victory in the nine meetings between the two schools.
“Honestly, it’s a different level of talent,” he said. “It not even night and day from where it was to where it is today."
“It’s not even the same program from back then. I don’t know the reasons why, but when it happens, it takes a while and a lot of good players to get it back.”
Not what they used to be
He is spot on, our record has gotten worse every year under Fargas.

Need to can her arse immediately. How Alleva has allowed that woman to steal $800,000 a year from our school to put the absolute dog shite product on the court that she's been delivering is beyond me. I can deal with a sub par product in women's basketball, but I can't deal with a sub par product for $800,000 a year with no end in sight.

And LSU thought Pokey needed to go--she has coached for two different WNBA teams since, currently with the Indiana Fever.

Sadly, they did need to let Pokey go. Her actions put them in a an awkward position where the university could be caught in the middle of lawsuits regarding favorable treatment and sexual harassment. Not saying that it would have automatically lost, but it would not have looked good. Outside the realm of sports, plenty of CEOs, when presented with information that a high-ranking employee was sleeping with a subordinate, would have done the same thing.
I hated it, because Pokey was a great coach, and because her being an LSU alum was a great story.
But, Skip had no choice.

I didn't need Geno to tell me that. I have eyes.

They didn't think they new. Any lawyer would tell you that. She messed up big time. I really believed she would have won a title eventually at LSU.

They're actually better this year and she signed a good recruiting class for next season. We're not UCONN or what we were though.

Is it ever possible to bring Pokey back? Is there atonement or does risk still hover?

Mulkey would have us back as top 5 program overnight. With all the turmoil at Baylor, might be a good time to make another run at her.

Damn that had to be hard for Nicky to hear. I know Joe has his hands full with the football right now but she needs to go next

She had a sexual relationship with a player. That cannot be tolerated.

I bet if the football coach was winning 11 games a year no one would give two shits if he was fricking the whole defense.

In the limited times I've watched us under Caldwell, she can coach. But it's so obvious she either can't or won't recruit. We got no shot with that talent no matter how well coached.

From the title, I thought this was about football. Then I realized that it was about Lady Tigers and realized it wasn't any big deal one way or the other.

And that's where it stops. The great LSU run was not a "great program" run it was simply because we had the two greatest players in program history show up at the same time. When you only need 5 and 2 are GOATS it makes you forget that LSU was really not very good before the arrival or after the departure.
