Chancellor Martin: LSU will likely pursue a candidate with Louisiana connections

The below quote comes from an article about New Mexico State coach Marvin Menzies, who is a potential candidate for the LSU job. Chancellor Martin hired him at NMSU, as well as his predecessor Reggie Theus.

"Marvin is certainly a viable candidate as is Reggie Theus. In all likelihood we'll pursue a candidate or candidates with Louisiana connections. Several have been the subject of initial consideration.
We will probably resolve our coaching situation by early next week. I hope Marvin stays at NMSU but he will succeed wherever he goes."

Donnie Tyndall and Kermit Davis come to mind.

And we'll continue to lose.

Bring Pokey back!!!1!
ETA: Seriously, Menzies wouldn't be a terrible hire but wouldn't really excite the fanbase. Hopefully he is a salesman.

Well, now I am positive that it is either Dale Brown or Shaq.

I would take Marvin Menzies in a heartbeat. Maybe Martin is throwing a smokescreen?

Kermit Davis (former LSU asst)
Bryce Drew (born in BR/dad coached for Brown)
Johnny Jones (former player/asst)
Jamie Dixon (wife is from BR)
Ben Voogd (led the 2006 team to the Final 4 as floor general)

If this was Kentucky, the notion MIGHT be defensible.
As it is, it's stupid, insular and will lead to a continuation of our traditon of mediocrity in men's basketball.

This just shows they don't give a damn about the basketball program. They aren't even going after the best coach possible.

Well it says "Louisiana" not "LSU." That is slightly different...

Shaq

how about steve prohm at murray st? first 9 years as a paid assistant in louisiana (centenary, southeastern, tulane)

Saying anything other than " we're looking to hire the best candidate available" is worrisome.

Why is everyone so caught up on that sh*t?
Miles, Saban, Calipari, Coach K, Mack Brown...a good recruiter is a good recruiter anywhere they go.

Hiring a coach whose wife is from Louisiana, or who was born in BR but never really lived here, is a bit of a stretch to call them connected to Louisiana.
The only people who fit that descriptions are Jones, Floyd, Davis, Prohm, Ed Conroy. Am I missing someone?
