The response of gtown's fanbase to the news is definitely a positive sign. LINK

Why would Kirby leave GT to come to LSU?

sounds like his connections to kids is MS and the south. All he has to do now is convince them to hop on I-59 or I-10 instead of a few connecting flights. I'm just guessig here but probably also closer to his roots and extended family.

Feeling better and better about the hire every day.

I hoped JJ had learned a thing or two since he left LSU. Nice to see he acquired some skills/good coaching head.

Yes, he was getting a lot of major recruits to consider Georgetown, but the distance was hard to overcome. He landed some big ones as well.

He won't have that problem at LSU.

Just read that responses from GTown fans, they are taking this as a HUGE blow to their program. Kirby was very valued there by the fans. He really must be the real deal. This staff will start pulling in some big name guys very soon!

Would LSU fans have a march for Jones if he hires Randy Livingston as his last asst coach?

Would RL give up his HC gig for what would seem be the 4th spot of the Staff?

When I saw one of JJ's interviews, he seemed to be saying he wanted his assit. coaches to have college coaching experience.

Your sources/connections are incredible. Any clue who they are looking at specifically?
