Him being alumni matters to me and LSU people. If you don't think it matters then you have no stake in the program anyway. It's the whole reason he is here.

And the worst possible excuse to hire an unqualified head coach. Nick Saban isn't an Alabama alumn. Coach K isn't a Duke alumn. Skip Bertman wasn't a LSU alumn. What matters as a head coach is does your team perform well. When that answer is a resounding "no", you should be fired.

Trent Johnson had two straight losing seasons (11-20 in both), he didn't get fired. He was given a 3rd year, bolted to TCU and left LSU in a shithole

Trent Johnson won a SEC title and had LSU in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament playing toe to toe for 35 minutes with the eventual national champions. When his teams started failing, he saw the writing on the wall and left on his own.

Btw, here is Jones' resume (LINK ). I believe it's pretty damn impressive

Wow, 15 years as a head coach in Division 1 basketball and a whopping 2 NCAA tournament trips with zero wins. The guy is way in over his head and if you can't see that after the last 14 months of LSU basketball then you have no clue about basketball.
