we just posted a REDEMPTION video. Coincidence? In all seriousness, I for one would 100% be behind re-hiring Pokey.

Fargas maxed out at 4th place in the SEC w/ a couple Sweet 16s. She didn't come close to sustaining that. Most fault her recruiting. I guess that's fair. There were some high-profile in-state misses like (Kalani Brown, Moon Ursin to Baylor) but she did get Raigyne Moncrief out of Florida, Ayana Mitchell & Pointer (her neice) out of GA. Chloe Jackson was an impact transfer before also going to Baylor. After Fargas got the LA POY, the player hits the transfer portal after 2 years (Young). My biggest gripe was that the Fargas teams weren't better on offense. They over-relied on the defense. I'd be shocked if LSU got Kim Mulkey. Seriously, Pokey? I'm curious about Starkey who was at TA&M w/AD Woodward. But he didn't want the LSU gig after Pokey resigned.

Coach Fargas gave LSU ten years of honorable service. I wish her the best.

She sucked from day 1. Horrible results. She should have been fired 5 years ago. She has been stealing from LSU for 10 years. Most overpaid coach in LSU history.

Please people don't say it's Pokey time. I would love for her to be the WBB coach but remember why she was fired in the 1st place.
