Given the current state of basketball did anyone really believe that we would be able to attract a top tier coach?
Who wants to come to a school where BB is playing third fiddle behind FB and Baseball?
After Alleva turned his back on Jones and the Alumni last go round did anyone think he was going to able to do it again? He brought in Johnson and we all know how that turned out.
What LSU needs is someone who can sell LSU to the top in state talent and keep them home. I can't think of anyone who would do a better job of that than Jones who absolutely loves LSU.
I'm not a fan of Collis Temple and the good ole boy network. But the last really talented team we had was Big Baby and that group of local AAU guys that came here together and Temple was involved in getting them here.

I agreed on everything but this.
Coaches coach for the future not the past, as a matter of fact, bad previous performances relieve pressure from the coach as the level of performance either is lowered, or some time is allowed for a "turnaround"

Why do people keep saying things like this?
LSU basketball is not considered "third fiddle." They have been a losing program and, worse, a program with poor prognosis whose product has been not been entertaining to watch.
During Brady's first couple of years, you could tell he had things headed in the right direction. Players played hard.
Once LSU fields a decent product on the court and future begins to look more positive, fans will show up again. LSU basketball may never be LSU football, but to say fans will never care about it again is ridiculous.
