Why would a coach verbally commit to a deal not knowing the punishment yet? Y’all are fricking idiots

Those deals rarely end up working out. The coach is usually inevitably fired, and it thereafter hurts their prospects for their next job.

Kiffin took over for USC when they went on probation. He was fired and ended up as an assistant for a few years.

Matt Luke was hired to be that guy at Ole Miss. He was fired and ended up as the OL coach at UGA.

Mike Shula was that guy at Alabama. He was fired and never found another head coaching job.

Actual good up and coming coaches or good established coaches are not going to want to potentially damage their career arcs or reputations to take over a program with impending sanctions and even fewer are going to consider taking a job without knowing what the sanctions will be. It's just not a smart career move. Especially not at a school like LSU that isn't a destination job in basketball. We're just going to have to hope a halfway decent coach from a small school takes the job IMO and cross our fingers it works out or we'll need to keep an interim coach until we know what the sanctions are

Did I miss something? Isn’t Ronald Dupree just a scout with very limited coaching experience? Making a guy like Ronald Dupree a head coach at LSU would mean every current head coach in America has already turned you down.

Wouldn't be much different than Memphis hiring Anfernee Hardaway honestly.

I really think John Brady would make more sense. And I never was a fan of him. But he’s already familiar with the players and program. 2 year deal and start lining up a replacement during that time.

Not really sure you're the contrarian actually, I think the notion that this will devastate the program for 10 years is actually the contrarian thought. Too many examples to the contrary, even here with John Brady making the Sweet 16 and winning the SEC in his 3rd year after he inherited a very penalizing probation.

It may be a tough couple of years, but we will o.k. past that and a good a good coach can be convinced of that without much difficulty and with the NIL and transfer portal you can have it up an hopping pretty fast.

The name recognition is just a tad different between the two.

Your examples are all in football. Basketball is completely different.

The point was neither head coach had any real experience. Hardaway had coached a year of high school ball and some AAU teams. That wasn't me advocating hiring Ronald Dupree

If it's so different, why don't you tell me about all the good head coaches that took jobs at schools who were awaiting sanctions (that will likely be major)

Last time we were in this position, we hired the head coach from Samford who had zero postseason experience. No one was beating down John Brady's doors when we hired him. I don't care what sport it is. Our pool of candidates is going to be small and unimpressive with looming significant sanctions

I liked him as a player but we need someone with proven college coaching experience.

I started a thread on just this a couple days ago. Brady would have nothing to lose and would have no concerns on how this might impact his career goals. Many of the younger fans have no idea how difficult it is to inherit a program dealing with draconian sanctions.
