How did LSU not have a candidate waiting for the Basketball job?

Are you telling me that Trent leaving was not expected? That he wasn't nudged out the door? Most fans knew that he was walking on thin ice and it was crumbling. So no one in the administration was pro active about this situation? Why?

So you think all AD's tell coaches "we're going to hire you if our current coach leaves"?

I don't, but he was a hot seat coach anyway. Should of had a "Short List" of 5 coaches that could be hired if the job opened.

According to comments by Hickey at the banquet it was pretty unexpected.

Well, you might not have been aware that NCAABB signing day was yesterday, so I'm sure this last week has been pretty freaking hectic for every major coach in D1.
So...that coach would have to have been juggling making sure their class was getting filled in (in case the LSU job does not work out), and talking with LSU in hopes that it does work out.
The coach would also, hopefully, have been making sure that he didn't frick his current program by leaving the day before signing day, thus making him look like a complete a-hole.
I'd imagine now that signing day is over - there will be a hire fairly quickly.

I don't think signing day has anything to do with it.
The truth is that it is a lot more complicated than just picking who you want. You have to find someone who is interested and hat is not as easy as it sounds when you also have high standards.
The second LSU identifies a target that fits what they are looking for and who also expresses real interest in the job, LSU will move as quickly as possible.

It had to be part of it...had to.

I agree with all of the rest, though...

Okay, so the real question is, was Trent kinda pushed out or did he leave LSU right before signing day. Since he wasn't really going to have a solid class, he just bailed? This timing is horrible anyway that you look at it. Was it planned and if it was by who?
