MTSU head coach, was an assistant at LSU before. Having a hell of a year, also the team to upset Mich. state last year in first round of playoffs.

It's a death sentence to limit your search to guys who have an LSU connection.
If he's the best guy fine.

Relax
He was associate HC at LSU and has been a massive hit at mtsu, my alma mater
Would be a great hire for LSU

Hey doesn't Joe Alleva have Duke ties???
Why not go and get one of the Coach K clones to come to LSU?

Because all of his proteges have been failures?
Jury is out on a few of his younger ones, Collins and Wojo.

I understand and agree with the talk of improvement at the head coach position in basketball.
But, why do posters believe that Alleva and powers that be will make a decision this year? Any informed insiders that know what a decision will be based?

Not saying we need an LSU guy, just saying he's been in the area.

I think Kermit is about as good as we can realistically get. LSU will not pull a hot name or anyone at a good mid major. The LSU basketball job just isn't a good job. Not a top 30 job in the country.
And no, we can't pull an Archie Miller or Gregg Marshall type. They are already at better jobs.
I'll ride for Kermit tho

He is in his 15th season as head coach at Middle Tennessee State and has only made the tournament twice.
Hell, he's only won 20 or more games four times.
Do you know who else made the tournament twice in 10+ seasons at a lower-tier program? I'll give you a hint, he's the coach that many of us want run out of town...
Plus, Johnny had five 20-win seasons at North Texas.
Y'all are being too reactive to Davis' recent success.

We should let shaq head up a group of consultants to find the next coach. I believe he has always had lsu in his best interest, and to play for dale brown,pat riley, and phil jackson he knows the type of coach lsu players should have. Cause obviously nobody at lsu knows or cares about basketball.

I like the idea. There seems to be a lack of love for the program and it's hard to stay competitive

Is this the dude who had problems with the NCAA while in College Station?
Posted on 12/26/16 at 10:27 pm to beantown
He'd be Johnny Jones part 2.
Posted on 12/27/16 at 6:21 am to Woopigsooie20
He's a better coach, not even close
Posted on 12/27/16 at 11:55 am to Joe Mantegna
Maybe, but marginal success in the mid majors over a stretch of almost 20 years, says he's probably where he belongs.

NOOOOOO! Get someone with no ties to LSU from a basketball heavy school with a real track record. BB needs an entirely new culture that has no connection to LSU basketball past.

i am assuming kermit is who the temple mafia will push for.

I'll take "Former LSU Basketball coaches" Alex
Pre-LSU, this coach's resume included two Sweet 16 appearances with two different schools and being selected COY in two different conferences?
Who is Trent Johnson.
Johnson was a decent coach pre-LSU, but he couldn't recruit in the south. Jones can recruit, be he's a poor coach.
Davis has definitely hit his stride at MTSU over the last 5 years going 123-48 (not counting the 10-3 start this season). But is he your first choice at age 57? He's been at MTSU for 15 years despite several SEC jobs coming available during that time. Don't you have to question why he hasn't got many (if any) serious looks to move up? A knock on Jones was no one else wanted him. Thus, the reason he was at N. Tex. for 11 years. Couldn't you argue the same against Davis?
I don't buy the whole argument that LSU can't attract a proven coach because it isn't "a basketball school." That's bullshite. LSU is second only to UK in most SEC reg. season championships; Fourth in most Final Four appearances (behind UK, UF, Ark); 3rd behind UK and Ark in NCAAT appearances; 2nd only to UK in most all time POY award winners.
Over the last 40 years I think the argument can be made that only UK and Ark have been better programs than LSU. Outside of the on Final Four appearance in '94, Florida's history as a "basketball school" started and ended with Billy Donovan.
LSU has money. LSU is in a power conf. It has the same recruiting advantage as football in terms of geography (still the only big power in Louisiana and very close to East Texas' large population). With the right hire, this program could easily become the next Florida for the next 10-15 years. It just takes a willingness to try to find the right guy. Settling for long-time Sun Belt coaches isn't the ticket.
