I hear that the replacement is a close contest between Dale Brown's gardener and Collis Temple's car guy. BTW, they both are lifetime LSU fans and bleed purple and gold.

Joe Alleva is still our AD and sadly they don't give a shite about the basketball program, hence firing Johnny Jones in the first place. They'll hire another former LSU player, he'll be extremely underwhelming, and we'll go through the same thing over again.

I don't know man. Dude has got to be at least 90 years old. Still sounds good though.

They will not hire someone of that caliber and you know it.

Best case, a retread like Stansbury or someone with ties to the program like Kermit Davis.

All the jobs Marshall has turned down why the hell would he come to lsu?

Why the frick would any of those guys come to LSU? Let's not pretend this is a top 30 college basketball job. Gonzaga and UVA are easily better and you can argue Wichita St is a better basketball job than LSU.

Bennett or Marshall are pipe dreams.

Bennett is in the ACC. If he leaves it will be a significant step up.

Marshall is holding out for a major job, like Kentucky or North Carolina.

Kermit Davis or Archie Miller are possible, depending on what other jobs open up. Both would be fantastic hires.

Bennett's wife is a Baton Rouge native, and they would have taken the job when Tony was at Washington State. True story.

LSU had their chance with Tony. That's passed.

Marshall is at a better place now and gets paid 3+.

Neither Bennett nor Marshall are coming to LSU. The top of my realistic list is Kermit Davis. After that, I think we need to take our time and conduct a full scale search (I know, I'm asking a lot).

There is zero chance LSU hires Marshall.

Certainly with his recruiting ties in New York, I can't say I disagree. Also, he can flat-out put on a show for the fans.

LSU from Gonzaga is a HUGE step down. Gonzaga is the "Georgetown" for Basketball in the West. Name another program, other than Arizona, that has consistently been on top for the last 20 years.

Why on earth would Mark Few leave Gonzaga for anything short of replacing Mike Krzyzewski at Duke?
