This. It can't be any worse than it has been for the last 3 years and most of the last 20 or so. I don't think that a Johnny Jones hire would be all that bad. He could turn out to be exactly who we need, if he recruits well, eventually wins consistantly gets the program back to the NCAA regularly with some ocasional deep runs in it we'll be in good shape. It's just that right off the bat it will not be appealing to the fans and he will have his work cut out in terms of building excitement. But if an such a completely unexciting hire like Dinardo can generate the excitement that he did in less than one year just when the fb program had reached it's nadir I think Jones could too.

Unfortunately, the 20 win mark isn't nearly as impressive these days due to an increase in regular season games. This past season LSU could have reached the 20 win mark with two more wins against the likes of South Alabama, Coastal Carolina, Northwestern, etc. and still not sniffed the NCAA tournament. The fact that he's failed to win at least one regular season title is bothersome.


We have only had 5 since Dale left. Jones has had 5 in the past 6 years.

I don't think JOB and Hickey will leave if Jones is hired. He can probably sway them to stay pretty easily. Whoever the new coach is, he needs to sign a big man or two immediately no matter how good they are because our front court is painfully thin.

If LSU hires Jones then you can expect an all out PR blitz by Dale Brown & others to reenergize the fan base.
