is one question: will he jump ship for UNLV if he gets a chance?


Definitely. Will he take the next big job if he succeeds? Go back to the NBA? Take a part on a reinvention of the Hang Time series starring Gabourey Sidibe playing Anthony Anderson's role?

Those would be my main questions.

who cares? if he does, that means lsu has had success under him. we have to have some success first.

would you not have hired saban if you knew he would jump to the dolphins in five years?

get the guy who can get the program jump started, deal with a replacement then.

I agree, and I started it. Never said they were only candidates. I also don't think it deserved a sticky.

What if they come calling next year and we have to do it all over again?

That's all I'm saying. If you know you're going to get 5 years, sure. If it winds up being 2, it probably wasn't a great hire.

He could do that in the summer but that would hurt our recruiting because he would miss out on ABCD camps and AAU games

I'd be willing to risk it for a guy who is a known entity, but I dunno about Theus.

I'd be lukewarm about hiring him. But I do think he has the type of personality that could play well in college and excite the fanbase, except for Elleshoe.

We'd never have to worry about Johnny Jones leaving, we'd just have to worry about the fans leaving..Amaker & Theus, please no..Hopefully there are others

Do not want Johnny Jones

I'm trying to remain positive, but if these are the only guys he plans to interview, then we do not need Alleva around when/if football ever needs a replacement.

Theus makes the most sense. He brings national exposure. He played and coached at the n.b.a. level where these athletes want to play.

our problem has been recruiting. that guy has the most skins to get kids to look at and come to lsu.

This sounds like a list that was created to make it look like there was a search when in fact it was Jones all along.

This sucks. And anybody that wants to say it's bullshite that LSU doesn't give a frick about basketball can just kiss my arse.
