I really could care less about what TJ did before he got here. All I know is what he has done here. MT5 bailed him out of numerous games his first year, that is a fact. The last two years have been the lowest ever in LSU bb history, he bragged about Malcolm White last year "help is on the way" enough said on that point. In three years he has recruited and signed ONE legitimate SEC impact player Turner. His bench coaching is horrendous, no in bound plays, defense is horrible, shooting 40' jump shots more than i care to count, and we all know what happened in the last seven seconds against Ole Miss. We have been completely blown out by numerous teams home and away. Lost to Nicholls State and overtime win against mcneese state..wow thats impressive. Tj is a hard headed, and does not have a clue how to coach talent when he gets it. TJ is the wrong guy for this job and if we are happy with being embarassed and "building a program" well get used to hopefully getting in the NIT consistently cause that's where we are headed with this guy as our coach. You don't say you are building a program and then you sign Chris Bass and Eddie Ludwig, that was impressive. Firing JB is the middle of the year was a huge mistake, fire him at the end of the year would have been fine. I think we all know why TJ won't be fired this year like he should be for finishing last in the SEC two years in a row. By the way has anyone notice what langston gallaway is doing at st. joseph, pretty impressive and he wasn't good enough to play here. TJ should have signed this kid, you always try and sign the best player in your own backyard.

Absolute garbage statement. There are plenty of legit criticisms of Johnson these last two years but this is BS. He took a team that went 13-18 (6-10 in the SEC) the previous year and went 27-8 (13-3). They had a healthy Tasmin in TJ's first year, but didn't have Anthony Randolph. TJ's first LSU team should have been better than that 13-18 '06-07 team but no one expected them to sniff 27-8, win the SEC, and end up in the Top 20. To sum up TJ's first year as "MT5 bailed him out of numerous games " is total BS.

TJ is on the clock... next year is put up or shut up. These are his recruits, he's got to show something next year or else.
