re: Kermit Davis could be the Choice

No I didn't. I said his accomplishments were better.

Only time can tell what is a good hire.

Davis could do at LSU what he's done the last several years at MTSU, I'd be fine with that.

What if he did what he did his first TEN seasons?

31-4 in basically the sun belt. If you're going to ignore 19 years and hang your hat on 1 season it shows where your head is.

He beat Michigan State in the first round last year fwiw

Well, I generally put more emphasis on present day outcomes and trends, but I hear you. I don't know that he's the best candidate, but I think he's a good coach who seems highly regarded outside this board. Granted, basketball people aren't as knowledgeable as the rant, so there are definitely reasons to be skeptical.

Bottom line, I think he gets a lot of negativity here and it's largely unfounded. As I said, a lot of you seem to be infatuated with younger coaches who have accomplished less.

Yes he did but look at the whole body of work. The past two years are all of his success over 20 years. That's has a little more to do with a certain group of players more than the coach. He's hit a lucky group of kids before they were there and once they're gone he'll be back to his normal results. And you want that to happen in Baton Rouge?

Let's hope not. I liked it when LSU was a tournament regular.

Back down to a 7 point game.

again, name me 3 schools that have top 15 programs in football and basketball....we have invested in coaches and assistant coaches in football, and we will be a top 10 team. I would be satisfied with a top 25 competitive team that went to the big dance every year.....kermit may be the best chance we have...Coach K, steve alford, roy willams, jim boeheim, bill self, archie miller....they are not coming to LSU.....in 1971 when they wanted to upgrade the program, they hired a no name out of north dakota.....who did fairly well in his 25 years.....kermit will do well at lsu
