quote:
Ceasar, who said he is one of several former LSU players who have contacted LSU athletic Joe Alleva on behalf of Jones, joined a growing list of endorsers of the North Texas coach.
Every former LSU head coach from the post-Pete Maravich era - Dale Brown, John Brady and the recently-departed Johnson - have all said he's the man for the job. Notable players from the past like Rudy Macklin and Collis Temple, Jr. have come out in support of Jones.
And now, Ceasar said he's one of several players from the Brown era who have gone to Alleva to plead for Jones. He claimed the feeling is strong.
"If they don't hire Johnny, they might not have an alumni game because nobody's going to want to go back there," he said.

So now we're resorting to threats. Great.

Does anyone really want to watch a bunch of old guys struggle to run up and down the court? I know I could live without it.

I loved CC...but this is getting to be a bit too much.
These guys should all shut up. Alleva has to do what's best for LSU.

the ex players can eat me. i don't give a shite about their little get togethers. this is about finding the best coach for the job, not giving one of the buddies a gig.

What a joke

I think things will be fine if they don't hire Johnny as long as its a homerun hire, which does not seem likely at this point. If its just another average coach then I say maybe it should be JJ.

I'd much rather have a program that wins on a consistent basis than have an annual alumni game that is pretty damn boring to begin with.

Jesus Christ, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. You too Clarence? Say it ain't so!
Where does tack minor stand on all of this? What about Landers Nolly?

What the frick is happening here? I thought we got rid of the good ole boy network.
Whatever happened to hiring the guy most qualified for the job?

Oh well, the future is WAY more important than the past.

You failed to quote the most relevant thing to the coaching search from that article
JJ will do fine here IF he is the choice. We have to go try to get the big name but as a fall back JJ is solid.

"These fans haven't been in that locker room and they don't understand what Johnny Jones means," Ceasar said. "I could have gone to a lot of places, but I came to LSU because of Johnny Jones. When he came to recruit me, he made me feel like the prettiest girl at the prom.
"He recruited all of us. He recruited Shaq. He recruited Vernel (Singleton). He brought us all in.We came to LSU because of Johnny Jones."

Wow.

Stro...what's your take on Jones and others mentioned?
Posted on 4/12/12 at 10:19 am to Bubba Hotep
That does it! If Caeser has now endorsed Jones then we really have to go with him! I was waiting to see who he was going to support. The other one I'm waiting to hear from is Nebosha Bukimirivich. If he supports Jones then its all over but the shouting.

These endorsements paid for by Johnny "BAG BOY" Jones!

Well, he still sounds like one now threatening to not play in an alumni game.
