re: Raise and contract extension for Johnny Jones

Ok, so the mistake paying Trent Johnson too much should bite us here too??? Hell at least Trent had a tournament appearance. No, but I'm just saying he was underpaid before. If you expected LSU to keep Jones as the 12th best paid coach out of 14 in the SEC with the team he has put together than you are just taking advantage of the fact that Jones would do anything for the LSU program. He will never leave on his own accord unless he thinks it is better for LSU. He is an honorable man who loves LSU.

So what? Win something. One NIT appearance and two .500 SEC records are not worthy of an extension and a raise. Congrats that he's moved us to mediocrity, but I don't think mediocrity should be rewarded.

And he should be paid less than Trent Johnson. Trent went to the Sweet 16 at Nevada and Stanford and won an SEC title here.
