Imagine being close to hiring a coach with 3 National Championships and is literally already in the HOF and complaining about the AD.

Bc LSU means zero to him.

Mulkey has strong ties to the state and area.

That is the ONLY reason she is in play.

Why don’t people get this?

We do clown. Why can't you get this is a discussion board and it's OK to discuss things. It would be pretty boring if there was a single post and all agreed....there'd be very little discussion.

Money, kid...its MONEY. That's what gets championship coaches on the move

And? Why not take it a step further back and say all the coaches that make the tournament every year are in the same tier?


Because there’s a huge drop off after that top tier.

Not true. UConn has been to the final 4 for the last 13 years.


Alright then put up the money for Geno then and try to pull him from UConn. Where are you going with this? Are you complaining about mulkey?

She can coach on old geno’s level and is half the price. UConn turns profit cause it’s UConn. If lsu can “not lose that much” and engage the fan base it’s worth it.

If we remove the absurdity of this topic one reason is because he’s too old. Kim Mulkey is 58. Geno is 67.

They did as recently as 2016.

Still don’t know what’s being argued though. Nobody’s pulling auriemma from UConn and why would you want to. Mulkey would be the perfect fit for LSU. Whatever deficit we operate in now will be reduced. The national coverage and exposure with her would only help. It’s worth it to pay her. Not worth it to theoretically pay geno whatever he would want which would never happen anyway.

So you know the answer, but still ask the dumb question? You sound like a clown.

Correct. There is a huge drop from 11 championships and 13 straight final 4s to, at best, 3 championships and 8/13 final 4s.

Pointing out that you’re factually incorrect about those 5 coaches all consistently being on the final 4 is not advocating for LSU to spend the money required to hire auriemma.

The OP and my first post in the thread explain it very clearly. Which parts don’t you get?

quote:

There is nothing that proves this.

quote:

and is half the price.


If the rumored numbers are true she’s now more expensive than auriemma.

quote:

No, they don’t. You have a bad habit of trying to pass off lies as facts.

quote:

There is nothing indicating LSU will “not lose that much” with this hire. And this statement is getting right back to the entire point of the OP.

Uconn women consistently turned a profit for nearly two decades, like the men. Football even turned a profit for a few years....then a couple teams chose to withdraw from the Big East. Somehow they were allowed to take the conference name and IP with them... and effectively bankrupted UConn’s entire athletics department.

Yes, I suppose I am not surprised by this nonsensical thread.

But Mulkey grew up in Louisiana, was a star point guard in a LA college and would have good reasons to return for a new challenge.

None of that applies to Geno at U Conn.

Some of you don’t understand the definition of revenue and profit.

Getting into a bidding war that you can't win, with a stable program, would be seen as a dick move by everyone. That guy isn't going anywhere, especially not here at this point in his career.

Mulkey would be difficult to get but at least there's a chance due to her strong Louisiana ties.
