I think he would have been decapitated by Tiger fans.

Hell he took a flogging for most of a 11-2 season and after bringing in back to back top recruiting classes.

Why the love for TJ? Why not discuss his buyout and go for a cheaper coach. That way we at least save money.

I'm sure I'll get flogged for this, but on the whole LSU fans take success in football waaaaaaaaaaaay more seriously than in basketball.

ETA: See Duke football

it's because football is life and basketball doesn't matter nearly as much

If Manieri had back to back losing seasons he'd be gone. Basketball plays 3rd fiddle at LSU.

Your comparing apples and oranges. LSU is a all-time top 10 power in college football history, and in the last ten years in the top 3. LSU basketball except during the daddy dale years has mostly been a after thought. Ask yourself this, would Duke fans put up with back to back losing seasons in basketball? Hell no they wouldn't, but most just shrug their shoulders at the quality of their football program.

Dude, football isn't basketball. Louisiana as a state has a lot of FOOTBALL talent.

Because Jordan Jefferson is not the starting point guard.

Have you ever seen 93,000 lined up to see a basketball game???

Right or wrong, success in football gives all the other coaches more rope. imo

And come on, football hasn't had to fire a coach in 11 years. TJ didn't come here 2&1/2 seasons ago to take over a Sweet 16 type program.

Miles get way more BS than he should, but that's cause he has spoiled us with winning and winning big,

It is basketball. No one cares. Who knows how women's golf is doing. It is the same relevance.
