Imagine a coach leaving LSU for TCU

Isn't this a slap in our face? An indictment of where basketball stands in the pecking order at LSU?
Football
Spring football
recruiting for football
Baseball
and then somewhere down there basketball.
I mean, if basketball is so unimportant, how can we get a nationally known quality coach who can recruit? Do we need to get a hot shot young guy and over pay?

Part of the problem is that Johnson didn't do anything to help the basketball improve. Without a winner, fans are not going to flock to the arena. Remember the glory days when Dal Brown was winning, the arena was a alive. Now you have a new practice facility and an improved arena. We need more Louisiana flavor on staff. Johnson wasn't the man for this job when Alleva hired him.

he's ditching us for job security jeaux, not because he thinks TCU is a better job.
slap in the face? TCU just bailed us out

If LSU wants to keep Trent Johnson from going to TCU it should make him a counter offer with a long term contract. Hypothetically speaking, if Johnson were to then turn down that counter offer from LSU then, yes, it would be a slap in the face. As things stand now, a move by Johnson to TCU appears to be in the best interests of both parties.

You mean sort of like a guy named Paul Bryant leaving UK for aTm because Basketball was THE sport and football wasn't emphasized as much?
As for pressure on Trent to resign... IDK ... But having only 1 recruit committed couldn't help.
As for all the Tim Floyd "fans".... Get real, that would have been a good hire 20 years ago, but not today.

Almost as bad as having your offensive coordinator leave for Maryland, of all places.
Oh wait...

I can't believe Doug Mallory left LSU for New Mexico. What a slap in the face to les miles and it really shows what kind of state our football program is in.

I havn't seen LSU fans support a basketball coach in generations. Dale Brown and John Brady both had success, and neither one recieved support, relative to other good baseketball programs.
Why would a great coach want the LSU job based on the lack of support by the fan base. This is not a flame, it is been said by others in the college basketball business.
I remember when Tim Brando had his radio show on in BR. He said the same thing and got run out of town. The truth hurts.

Thank you baby Jesus!!! See ya Trent, now let's go get Johnny Jones

I don't see it as a slap in the face. I see it as an indictment of Trent Johnson being a quitter. The seat is hot, so he is going to cut bait and run to a place with lower expectations. frick him. I want a competitor at the helm.

Where did Brady end up going?
Where did Curley Hallman end up going?
What ever became of Dinardo?
The answer is... to schools that were not as big as LSU. Does this prove that they were the wrong hire at the time? No, with the exception of Hallman. It does prove that they wore out their welcome and they were "washed up". I thought Brady was a great X's and O's guy and I thought Trent was good with the players and their motivation. We need a coach who can do both.

I think we need to hire someone that is a gerry dinardo type for basketball and Bring Back the Magic. What I mean by that is, someone who will feed off of the glory days of "The Deaf Dome". Invite former greats to be more involved with the program, i.e. Shaq, Livingston, Blanton. I would perfer us contact Steve Wojciechowski.

The clock was ticking on TJ here and the alarm was probably about to go off. Moving to TCU allows him to reset the clock in a situation that probably doesn't have the same scrutiny and pressure.

Dude, he saw the writing on the wall.
The guy escaped.
