And are getting San Antonio College of Medical and Dental Assistants results.

Hey LSU, let's not nickel and dime the next hire. Aim a little higher and don't settle for garbage no one else wants.

And good luck ever getting anyone to EVER take LSU Basketball seriously again after this nightmare. #JohnnyOut

This is what you get when you have a bean counter as an AD.

I didn't like the hire when it was made but was blinded when he started getting some good commitments. I think most fans just wanted him to make the tourney this year, which is pretty low expectations when you think about it. He couldn't even do that.

I had somewhat flashbacks of dale brown...but then again at least Dale's teams played decent defense and didn't quit on him....

I was pissed when Johnny was hired, but was so happy that Trent was gone. Trent's teams were bad and he was a zero at recruiting, but at least they had some semblance of coaching.

Johnny has been terrible this year, but to me the biggest mess up was made with the Tren t Johnson hire....Should have hired JJ then and just got it over with

Just hire Collis. He can go to practices which seems to be the main criteria for hiring a head basketball coach.

We mustn't have watched the same coach.

We also hired a guy from Stanford (not to be confused with Sanford, who we hired another from). That turned out well for one season.

And got what we paid for.

He was at best, a middle-of-the-road Sun Belt coach there, and an utter flop in his only other stop in the big time, at Memphis. I've always been flummoxed at how people thought that coming to LSU was going to miraculously make him a good coach all of a sudden.

No, we hired a Sun Belt coach with a career .500 conference record.

North Texas bball wasn't the worst, Dick Tracy.

It just hasn't worked out here, which is weird considering he came home to coach a team he played for that had great success in early 80s

It's not weird.

Jones is just shite.

Everyone knew he wasn't a good coach when he was hired, but we believed in the whole "he was recruiting to N Texas and of he gets good talent to a school like LSU, then that will probably outweigh his ineptitude of coaching", but alas, we were wrong.

He's just not a good coach. Jones' place is being a butch Pierre-type coach. Recruiter only.
