IMO referring to any era of LSU Basketball as the "golden years" is tantamount to calling any period of Vanderbilt football as "golden years".
I was with you to some extent up to this statement. LSU has made four final fours in basketball. Do you how many SEC teams have never made one final four?
From 1979-1993 LSU made the NCAA tournament 13 times make 2 Final Fours and 4 Elite 8's. And over the entirety of that period it wasn't as easy to make as it is now.
Now, yes in the 15 post-season appearances (two NIT's included) We lose in the first or second round 10 times....so no, we were never Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, UNC, Mich. St., UCONN or Indiana.
But that's a whoooooole hell of alot better than anything Vandy's ever did in one year of football much less 15.

I am hopeful that Johnny Jones can restore a winning program and establish a long period of Final Four competitive teams to establish a "golden era" at LSU.
Me too, let's just not credit him for it before he does it.

All I know is that Trent would've been able to do NOTHING with this current group of kids at all. Nothing. He simply wouldn't have been able to coach them.
He knew he had little to work with.That's why he left.
We ended up with very little in terms of player talent/size.
Johnny Jones has inherited this sub par team, and is already doing more with them than I expected. JOB hung his head on the bench through most of last season. He smiles, holds his head up and looks you in the eye now. And what JJ and his staff have done with Andrew is truly amazing.
The kids are hustling and working hard for Johnny. The whole atmosphere around the team is more upbeat.
Give him credit for that, right now.
A change in philosophy and attitude that reaches out to us fans and invites us to take part in a metamorphosis of LSU basketball that may take 5 years or more.
Real fans will be in it for the long haul.
