WBB below .500 whole season now 4-5 and rpi 198, Improve or fire NC in 15

There, I said it and support firing a coach who if she does not at least get us over .500 overall (a low bar) at any point this season and if we finish 10th or lower in SEC and make no post season trny in her 4th year with 5 of her recruiting classes and having just missed out on #1 player she needs to be fired.
If we make NCAA or even have a .500 SEC record (didn't have one last year) I support a 5th year, if not she needs to go.
I'm ready to hear from others, but cannot imagine why others think this is an unfair expectation. We are LSU we made 5 final fours in a row and 10 NCAA trny in a row. This is her 4th year, and it's not like we have any great talent coming in next year!

She looks better than 90% of women's college coaches. That right there is enough to keep her around for another few years. Nobody really cares about women's basketball anyhow.

Once upon a time, there was fairly significant fan support for LSU WBB. NC has basically destroyed that. I don't see a scenario where this year improves enough to keep her around...

She's hot - keep her

Do we fire her now or do we wait to see how the full season goes. There is someone that wants to fire her after every loss. It is something amiss in calling for the firing of a coach who has won 20+ games each year, gone to the NCAA tournament each year and the Sweet 16 the last two years.

Women's basketball could fall off the face of the earth and I wouldn't care or even notice.

Because of her back-to-back sweet 16's with okay talent, she's earned one more season. However, she had another awful recruiting season, so it's safe to say LSU will suck next season too.
I have mixed emotions on Alleva hiring her. Caldwell was arguably the best up and coming coach in wbb at UCLA; recruited great, built the program to prominence, young, etc...anyone would have hired her in a heartbeat.
With that said, she needs to gtfo next year if things don't improve drastically. I am still in awe she never fired her guido assistant who made an arse of himself at the douchiest bar downtown (City Bar)

I wouldn't care, but pissing away a million dollars on a womans basketball coach seems silly.

You can keep making this thread after every loss but it still won't happen. This year seems destined to be a failure but it'll be the first in her 4 years. She'll get a talking to about righting the ship and that's it.

I don't give a shite about WBB, but if I was AD, I'd rehire Pokey.

I thought she did a very good job last year.
What was your opinion?

Can't say I disagree, honestly. I used to greatly enjoy WBB around the time of Augustus, Fowles, and Pokey. My interest waned with Van because let's be honest--the man was a clown.
I was enthusiastic with Caldwell. I saw a young, enthusiastic Coach with some Summit pedigree from UT. All the makings of a great hire, but geez. What happened? Is Caldwell just not into it here? Wasn't she more than .500 at UCLA? I mean, we are paying her a boatload of money...

I'm inclined to agree with your initial post.
At the very least LSU admin should tell her to hire an elite recruiter on staff or she can hit the road at the end of the year.
Because I actually believe she is a good Xs and Os coach when she has good talent.

It was a great hire and I was excited.
You can't blame Alleva though. Sometimes great hires don't work out.
For the money she is getting, the results in four years have been disappointing.
I think this program and this coach should be evaluated thoroughly after this season.
