If it's Jones, it should have been done on Monday.

If, we, as the fanbase can see that the Louisiana tie aspect isn't important, and the media sees it the same way, why can't the administration?

We need a coach that is exciting, proven winner, and good recruiter. These aspects are way more important than the Louisiana ties.

We should hire Tyndall he can recruit nationaly.

Jacobs the BOS member is wrong Louisiana is no hot bed of basketball talent. Except about every 5 years Louisiana, cannot sustain a championship BB team.

Brady recruited Louisiana and every few years he would have a decent team, but NOT CONSISTANTLY!

No one else wants Jones, he's never recruited a top 50 class and never won a game in the NCAA T..

He should not be a canidate!

I think that was Trent's biggest problem. He had no in roads in this area and didn't bring in anyone who had any. That's why Livingston as an assistant seems like a slam dunk


My point exactly, suntiger. Getting us a head coach just because he has LA ties will get us nowhere if he can't recruit outside of LA. We don't need a coach with LA ties. His assistants with LA ties will serve that purpose even better.

Book nerd Administrators making Ath-Dept hires, always funny..they'll go for class and interview skills..be turned off by any hint of swag..

That's how we got TJ over fan fav Anthony Grant, as the last hire.

Bruce Pearl said this recently on the radio. Where the head coach is from doesn't matter. Hire assistant to fill in those weaknesses.

We can probably get Voogd for a lifetime pass to the Rec and a tiger girl.

Save the extra money to get him assistants like Johnny Jones, Randy Livingston, and Butch Pierre...Profit

If without show-cause, BP would be my #1 wish by far. Loved him as an Asst at Iowa, UWM, Tenn. Has his faults, but is just the wear-it-in-on-his-sleeve barnstormer that Dale was. Has that same salesman charm and charisma.
