As long as he can bring a competitive basketball team in consistently and give us a chance to dance from time to time I'm ok with it.
I miss the days when making the tourney was almost a given. There has to be a way to restore the program to the way it was in the 80's.
LSU football sucked and we brought in Saban...he made a difference and now 10 years or so later we have a better program than ever. I just wonder if we should not go after another coach.

I'm with you Trout. I've been going to football, bball, and baseball my whole life, and I can only remember bball back to CJ's first year and I'm thankful for that. Seeing Shaq and Stanley w/ CJ was unforgettable. I loved the Livingston and Henderson yeas as well w/ Ceasar and some other decent players thrown in from time to time. Other than that, I'd have to say the best years since then are the sweet 16 w/ Bright/Swift/Smith/BB/Roland, and the final 4 year, although it sucked freezing my arse off in Indy to watch them flop ag. UCLA. I'm always in hopes of a big name guy coming and turning it around, and it'll happen one day. It just won't be the same as what we call the glory days even though our glory days are probably different.
With all of that said, mediocrity has been accepted here and it's b/c the players come and go so quickly. If you're not Kansas, UNC, Duke, or Kentucky, it's hard to bring the 5 stars in w/o cheating, and even they cheat.

While I will agree, making the tournament every year should be A goal...you act like LSU basketball was on top of the world back then. We still didn't have much to show for it. We only won the SEC 3 times in the 80s and 90s. We made the Sweet 16 a grand total of 4 times in the 80s and 90s.
LSU is not some grand destination for recruits and coaches to flock to and the sooner you can come to terms with that, the sooner you will realize it is gonna take time to build this program up.
It is only reasonably to give Trent Johnson time to build this program up the way he wants to do it. The results are already beginning to pay off. Just give him time.
