Didn't he get Nichols in trouble with the NCAA?

I thought he was implicated in a pretty big academic scandal they had with athletes. In short he shouldn't be on the longest list Aleva comes up with if he fires TJ.

If we feel the need to look within the LSU Basketball family the only person we should consider is Livingston, but his lack of a degree and potential NBA job probably rules him out.

I mentioned that and was laughed off the board. I think it would bring some of the fan base back on board, but ultimately don't think it would be a good hire. Bennett and UVA or Drew at Baylor are two good candidates.

I think he'd be a fantastic high school coach. He really loves teaching the game.

But seriously? Come on man.

I heard Jiminny Cricket was available, he can bring recruits from his AAU squad-Texas Heat Monsters.

I think Randy Livingston would be a great coach

Randy Livingston is the one to watch in the future...although he may be more interested in the pros at this point

Ok, I can play this game.

Let's think, random LSU basketball player who is somewhat well-regarded.

Brian Beshara could be had on the cheap.

I see Neboisha Bukumirovich at CCs on Jefferson all the time. I bet we could get him pretty cheap...

1) Randy Livingston lacks a college degree precluding him from being a basketball coach at an NCAA school

2) He's never been a head college basketball coach and the position LSU is in now is not the place to cut your teeth

3) Ricky Blanton was terrible at Nicholls and got them in all sorts of mess

4) LSU is down right now but we can do a whole hell of a lot better than Randy Livingston and Ricky Blanton
