Why take a risk when you don't have to? LSU has a giant athletic budget, why hire someone who is unproven? The guy has 0 tournament wins!


Florida basketball took a risk on a guy with 2 years head coaching experience, zero postseason games, and who never broke the 20 win mark in those 2 seasons....

Didn't he coach in the Big East.....

How many of those 20 wins came against credible teams? Or did he stack his pre-season slate with directional schools?

And that's what we need. A young "hidden gem" that the fans no very little about. A guy who has to come in and prove himself and is willing to work hard to do it.

It happens, but flops more than it becomes a huge success. It's always a risk with an "up and comer" and I am positive LSU will go that route.
