Do whatever it takes to lure Billy Donovan back to the college game. It is time to go big. As big as it takes to make this program a national power again on a consistent basis.

Why would you want to wait deep into April in a coaching search just to potentially strike out?

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

He is running a successful NBA team that he left a good well paid job at Florida for.

He isn't Nick Saban.

He's 2 years into a 5 year / $30 million deal with the Thunder. He isn't walking away from that type of money to come takeover a dumpster fire for half the annual salary he makes in the NBA

Pitino returned
Calipari returned
Saban returned...

to college ball. Will LSU/TAF pony up the $5-7mil it will take to get him? probably not.

I'm all for making He and others say no. Now having said that we have to be willing to pay what it would take otherwise it would just be hollow posturing. Like Bama did with Greg Marshall. They made him say no and it was a serious offer not just window dressing to appease the masses.

Now there will be A LOT of folks who will say we can't pay the basketball coach more than the football coach. Absolute loser mentality and I hope that's not what prevents us from getting someone of substance who might come here if you do.

Alleva can swing for all the big name coaches he wants but must not end up with one-of-us type coach or the JJ issue would start over again. We need a new direction in basketball under a big name coach or a young, hungry, up and coming coach.
