I think basketball could be going in the right direction but has he earned that raise and extension at this point?

is teams have won 39 games over those two years (the most by any LSU coach in their first two years as head coach in the long Southeastern Conference era) and the Tigers appearance last year in post-season made him only the second LSU head coach in SEC history to take the Tigers to a tournament in the first two years.


Seems like it

No.

It's too soon for a raise and contract extension.

If he flames out, then LSU is stuck with him unless they buy him out.

Worth it. He was getting paid 12th most in SEC... That's just sad. Well deserved.

We were paying Trent 1.2mm and Jones has been MUCH better than TJ. The 1.1mm he was getting was too low.

He was very lowly paid, but he hasn't done anything yet, not warranted. They couldn't wait and see what he does this season first?

Most of the coaches in the SEC are overpaid looking at the results.

I like Johnny, but this wasn't necessary at this point.

What's wrong with a raise without an extension?

Wat??????? Well this year is a freebie, but if he doesn't make serious noise with Simmons this situation will be FUBAR. Dumb move in my opinion, but par for the course with Alleva.

Not a fan of the timing at all, but I understand he's a lot better than 12th in the SEC.

I've been a season ticket holder since Trent's second year and I upgraded my seats this year. I think we make the tourney this year, and make a serious run next year. I have a lot more faith in Johnny Jones than most fans though.
