re: A few important comments on Johnny Jones

I will support him if he's the guy.

I just don't like Temple (cringe) and so much of the old guard coming out for this guy (and what seems to be) pressuring Alleva publicly...a guy whose resume isn't all that spectacular. Reminds me of a darker time surrounding LSU football.

I agree with this. This hire is mired in LSU politics. Can't Alleva just do his job?

If we can't get anyone but Johnny Jones, that's fine. Hire him. I'll be his biggest fan. But Johnny has coached at North Texas for 11 yrs. There is a reason he hasn't been offered a job at a major school. People don't think he can get it done at a high level.

Personally, I want someone who can recruit nationally. I find it hard to believe that Johnny can do that. We need someone that can bring the talent to Louisiana. Louisiana recruits will follow.
