re: The search must begin with BILLY DONOVAN

Such an intellectual response.

So we must presume you do not agree the search should start with the best whether he accepts or not. Instead of just asking a two time national champion coach if he might want to return to the SEC we should focus on that up and coming coach whom we hope might be the next Donovan. I see.

If Donovan wanted in the college game, he wouldn't come to LSU.

Why not? LSU is in a much better position in talent and in basketball tradition than Florida was when he arrived. Its not even close.

This season was terrible. However, the prior four seasons were decent. If a coach could add 2 to 4 wins to each of those seasons, especially in the SEC this becomes a top 15 to 20 program. Had Quarterman stayed and Victor not gotten booted this would have been a top 5 SEC team.

This is not Auburn , Mississippi State or Tennessee. A few years ago most would have scoffed at the idea that Bruce Pearl, Ben Howland and Rick Barnes would be coaching those teams. Think what a coach of Donovan's stature could do at LSU. If not him keep the sights high and avoid the flavor of the year mid major coach trap.

This is one of the dumbest, most embarrassing thread topics ever. That takes into account both sides of the Miles arguments

Easy to throw out invectives. Tell us why you think it is dumb and embarrassing to at least inquire whether one of the best college coaches might be interested. Whether you think he would come her or not or whether he would is irrelevant. Explain why you take such umbrage with the thought.

While you are at it give us your idea of where the search should begin. Go ahead put yourself on the line.

stick to gymnastics tard..

Easy to throw out invectives. Why should they not inquire about Donovan's interest. Should we just aim low and hope for the best or go for it?

No. We should start with Greg Popovich. Need to dream bigger.

Steve Kerr should also be on the list. If we can't get an NBA guy then Coach K and Roy Williams should be given serious consideration.

Roy Williams is awesome

The search should start with REALISTIC candidates that might be a bit of a reach like Scott Drew, Mike Brey, Archie Miller etc

I get that Donovan is more of a reach than current college coaches. What harm is there in exploring the possibility? Either he is interested or he is not.

Sup[pose LSU hires a mid major coach with a good resume. Then suppose Rick Barnes leaves Tennessee or Georgia fires Mark Fox and Donovan is hired by one of those schools. How would you feel if LSU had not approached him? Guarantee he would take the LSU job over either of those positions. Then once again when given the chance to go bold LSU takes the path of least resistance.
