is that we as fans could be the reason they are looking to transfer. Remember after the SEC tournament when Hickey said it disappointing the fan support. we as fans suppose to cheer for the kids but yall dont go to the games cause of the coach. that's crazy cause the coach is not playing the game. think about the fans for Kentucky Florida Vandy Arkansas Alabama Tennesee they are at the game to cheer for the players not the coach cause the players feed off the crowd. So if the fan base don't increase the basketball program won't never get off the ground. Give me yall thoughts

No, people don't go to games because we've finished last in the SEC the previous two years and then were marginally better this season.

Everything rises and falls on leadership. It's all about the coaching.

I've been to every game for 4 years, I doubt I classify as "fair weather" but I totally understand why people don't show up

Don't disagree with needing a change, but if you are saying that TJ wasn't considered a "quality coach" when he was hired then you are full of shite.

And success follows good coaching so why is it a problem? We should celebrate horrible coaching? To ADs, it's about the money. If fans pack the PMAC to support a team with a bad coach, the AD will not make a change. You have to make a statement somehow. This is a truly bad coaching staff.

The fan's only effective recourse for showing displeasure with the product is to not show up to the games. What else are they supposed to do?

Honestly, could you imagine this clown being in charge of hiring a football coach? That is my worst nightmare.

Why do purported "fans" have to show recourse? Isn't this LSU we're talking about?

This is just a fair-weather fan thread.
