A LSU alum who is going to bust his arse to make our program relevant again.

Doesn't matter how hard you bust your arse if you are just not a very good coach.

His record at his previous job is not something that stands out to me at all.

So the only reason people want Jones is because of his history?

How about 5 seasons to get 20 wins total? Hire JJ and that's what you are asking for.

Get some new, young blood in here. I don't want leftover bs. Go get a Smart type coach who can teach a group of kids to play together and win together no matter the talent level.

Shaka Smart? Why not offer Roy Williams while we're at it.

This is my exact thought as well...At least Trent's record at Stanford was something to be a little optimistic about, and he came from a 'BCS' conference school. North Texas?

LSU has given up on basketball, and so have I if they make this hire.

I say we hire him and Livingston as the top 2 assistants. If he wants to coach at lsu that bad then let him come as an assistant and match his unt salary. Then bring in Drew or someone else as hc.

Is Tack Minor available? He played for LSU therefore he must be a great fit for our program.

Firstly, Smart makes 1.2 @ a lower tier school and we can pay more than that. That can't be compared w/ Roy Williams and UNC.

Secondly, I said "a Smart type coach" dumbass!

Why would Scott Drew ever consider coming to LSU? Some of you need to face facts and realize LSU Mens Basketball is a shitty job to take at the moment.
