They’re probably tired of dealing with NIL and the portal.

Tony Bennett wouldn’t get butts in the seats. Great coach, boring style.

As opposed to our current situation: terrible coach, boring style

Agree, but McMahon is a terrible coach with a boring style. We just want improvement

Tony Bennett may get back into coaching one day, but not before NIL is sorted. He despised it, and NIL and the portal make it really hard for his system to work.

Tony Bennetts style is awful and really not compatible with SEC basketball in 2026. LSU with a new arena on the way needs a showman who can engage the fanbase and put an exciting and winning product on the floor. A basketball Lane Kiffin if you will, we won’t get someone with proven skins on the wall like that, but someone who wants to hustle and be present on social media and in public.
Also not many kids want to play in a defensive oriented system like that.

People support winners. They dont give a damn about style unless they are losing

Hard to recruit kids playing boring ball. The type of players at UVA and LSU are not even close to similar.

Tony Skinn is the next guy. He has moved around, spent 4 seasons in Ruston, young, gets the environment.

We are not in a position to overpay some P4 coach who is good. We have to go mid major. This is the guy we should zero in on. In about 6 weeks he will be a household name

We need a young, up and coming coach with passion and energy.

This will be the hot name this cycle. Especially if they win a game or two in the NCAA tourney

Winning gets butts in seats better than any style of play could. We're not getting Tony Bennett, but a winning culture would bring people to the PMAC regardless of who the coach is or how we play.
