I remember when you were saying this woman was going to be winning championships on the reg, and LSU would be happily paying her $1 million per year by now.


No, actually you don't. Nice try.

I DID believe that she'd be contending for championships when she first got here and that I wouldn't have a problem if they paid her that much afterwards. In her first year, she took a team of players that Van went 19-13 with no postseason the previous year, to 23-11 and an appearance in the SEC tournament championship game and NCAA tournament the following year. There was no indication that she would struggle recruiting or with player management, the way she has since. But at the same time, this has been her records since she got here...

23-11
22-12
21-13
17-14

........and she's made the NCAA tournament every year. So, although those records aren't eye-popping I doubt it warrants her being fired for one losing season. We'll see though. Like I'd said, at this point I don't mind either way. I think she could turn it around but, I also believe going out and getting another hot name wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing either. We're kinda at a crossroads.

From April 2011, right after Caldwell was hired, you said:

All the while, Nikki will be collecting her check and the team will be winning championships...............and sadly,when it's all said and done, you'll seem just like that guy in the video above.

So again, why not just enjoy the fact that the team has a great coach and that, more than likely this will equal a much better program and even more visibility for the university?......................................or maybe you think that that's a bad thing.


Either way, welcome to your new reality.
This is what $700K gets ya!

We could pay Nikki $1million/year (which we probably will within the next five years) and still have more than enough money to pay for cleanup.
