True so why continue discussing JJ and bash the folks that hired and kept him this long.

North Texas would probably take him back

I'm torn on this issue. Alleva might have done Coach Jones a favor had he terminated him last year. This is a really sad way to end Coach Jones coaching career at LSU.
I know one thing - we don't need another "we announced your firing, but now we are changing our minds."
I always want LSU to win the SEC tournament, but I have to be a realist at this point. It is unlikely to happen.

It would be interesting if they did.

On April 24, 2012, Benford was named the new head men's basketball coach of the North Texas Mean Green.[4] He was relieved of those duties March 5, 2017.
They just fired their coach 3 days ago. I think it's a real possibility.

Unfortunately, so is a vast majority of the rant
For some sick reason, they love to eat their own
As bad as Jones has been, he's still a Tiger.

should have never been hired
Well I felt better about that hire than I did Orgeron at the time but they are similar situations.
He wasnt an obvious no but it was a good ole boy hire for sure.

"Ben fricking Simmons" was cancerous to lsu and we could have gone to nit but turned it down

I understand your position, even though I believe that LSU basketball will be in a similar posture at this time next year if a new coach is hired.
Because of JJ setting the program back. Okay, now I'm done bashing of good ol' Johnny boy.

I completely agree OP
The guy bleeds P&G and is, by all accounts, a great guy. It just didn't work out for him here.
But this is tRant, so carry on

UNT would probably take him back. He did a good job there.

Because his terrible coaching has seriously damaged the basketball program. Certainly, it is mostly Joe Alleva's fault for hiring and keeping someone so clearly over their head. But JJ is still collecting those paychecks.
Do you think Johnny didn't try? Do you think he should refuse money he is contractually entitled too?
Johnny was in over his head. Way over his head. But that doesn't make him a bad person and it doesn't mean he was trying to stick it to the the University or to you personally. Don't personalize events that do not warrant it.
I'm in that majority who wanted Johnny fired. Not because he was a bad person, but because he was a bad coach. Now it has happened. Best of luck to Johnny as a former Tiger, as person and as a coach. I hope he has a lot of success wherever he ends up.

LSU basketball has been shite for a long time. You people are jaded. When has LSU really ever did anything in hoops? 1960? Lol. Sure you have an outlier season or two here and there, but for the most part we are the dregs of SEC basketball.
Sure we shouldn't be content with that, but to say that JJ ruined or damaged the LSU basketball program makes you look like a fricking idiot.

If you're going to have an opinion, at least try to have an intelligent one.

At this point, the Coach Jones supporting is really unnecessary.

How long did it take the Les bashing to stop? Or has it?
