Johnny Jones?
He did enough damage to this program the last time he was here.
I can't believe anybody would even think he's a solution.
If you can't move up out of North Texas in 11 years, you ain't got it.

Duke assistants have historically been failures in major programs.

Would that stop Alleva though?
Plus, who else would he try to get? A lot of schools have now started spring workouts, pretty late to leave.

Yeah, frick Jones. He's a mediocre coach that was part of the problem here in the 90s.

I just checked out a few TCU sites, and none have Trent has a candidate. That doesn't really mean anything, as most of the listed candidates are pipe dreams. Most have already turned them down, including Monson and Dixon, who is a TCU alum.
Purplemenace.com has the following as candidates:

I think Jeff Capel could be a good fit for LSU.
Posted on 4/6/12 at 11:09 am to Circle K Beggar
Capel's claim to fame was the Griffin boys. He soon flamed out after that.

Replacing a coach with a losing record who went to Ohio with TJ shows that TCU cares much less about basketball than LSU does.
However, I still hope TCU makes the change.
Surely LSU's current basketball situation is much better than Baylor's was when Scott Drew took over. It is possible to find a solid coach--don't know if Alleva is capable of doing that.

Tim Floyd is probably the most realistic and best candidate that would likely take this job. Maybe there's someone currently in a big conference looking to get to the SEC like Caldwell, but other than that, the rest of these mid-major coaches don't have SE ties, just like Trent.
Really, just thinking about it, with how much Dale started showing up the last 2 years, I wouldn't be shocked if Dale came back and coached 2-3 yrs with Livingston being the HC in waiting.

Here is a link to a TCU message board. Please don't post a bunch of shite over there, as we are trying to get rid of our coach (Shhhh....)
Interesting note, that I did not know, is that Jeff Goodman, who broke the story of their coach Jim Christian leaving for Ohio, is the one breaking the Trent story. Hopefully Goodman, of CBS Sports, has some legit TCU sources.
This is the money post, IMO:

Where are all the hands that went off on people if you spoke bad about Trent.

Lets start a pot of money to give to the TCU AD to help pay Trent?
