Could we pull an Arkansas-Calipari and get Self to Baton Rouge?

LSU isn’t paying $10M+ a year for a basketball coach.

Numerous reasons, starting with we’re not putting up Walmart money. Second, Self’s health issues are concerning. Hope for his sake, he’s back at full speed.

63 years old and just had 2 stents put in. He may be out of coaching pretty soon.

I wish Kelvin Sampson was 10+ years younger. I think he could've made good things happen with LSU.

What's happened to Scott Drew?

He's 466-259 at Baylor.

Is that not good enough?

He might be willing to make the jump. (Kim did!)

Sampson should be the #1 target. I do believe he’s done all he can do at Houston, and it’s a natural transition to LSU.

If you want to win and develop a culture, you pay him whatever it takes. Forget about his age.

Not sure that Houston isn’t a better job at this point. Their big money boosters are actually invested into basketball, they have better arena and facilities than we currently do and they’re in a better basketball conference. Brand matters sure but the investment and time it would take isn’t done overnight.

Same thing that's happened to a lot of coaches that were winning pre NIL. Doesn't have the funds to get the players he used to get or his school is unwilling to play high stakes poker.

You trolling? Sampson would never leave for LSU massive downgrade in every way

Not to mention in 2023 his son became the official head coach in waiting when he retires

LSU couldn’t possibly offer him something better than his current contract.

Furthermore, since 2022 he has shown he can’t construct/manage a roster with mostly new players to the point of them being elite/playing to their ability.
