re: It woud be better to hire a basketball coach that has NO CONNECTION with LSU

I know that a guy like Kermit Davis is out there, but if we decided to look outside first before going to him, I'd at least understand.

I really like Kermit and without question he'd be an upgrade from CJJ. Just wish we could have gotten him when he was younger.

I'd prefer a young hungery energetic coach with some personality and charisma as well as ability to coach. That used to not be a priority for me but the last 3 coaches were very limited in that and it hasn't helped as the excitement and enthusiasm has drained from the program.

I was never in favor of the CJJ hire but it really surprised me how bland and void of personality he seem to be. Whether it's purposeful or not, that's how he appears and all to often it's how his teams seem to play.
