I wish Kelvin Sampson was 10+ years younger. I think he could've made good things happen with LSU.


Please, Do you think Tilman is going to let him walk?

Sampson would never leave for LSU massive downgrade in every way Not to mention in 2023 his son became the official head coach in waiting when he retires


It’s not a downgrade in conference. The SEC money is far greater than Big 12.

If you are LSU, you offer him the same deal to let his son coach when he retired. He’s a way better coach than Lane Kiffin. If you are willing to pay out money for average, you better damn sure be willing to pay out for premium elite coaching

Self, Kansas IS a basketball blue blood through and through. He would be crazy to leave that for LSU.

Sampson, Houston is probably a top dozen job in college basketball. It's not arguably better than LSU. It is a better job than LSU.

Bill Self

• Too old
• Serious health issues
• Lifetime sinecure with KU
• Overrated in-game coach. He's flamed out prematurely in NCAA tourneys on many more occasions than he's made the Final Four. His success has been wholly the provenance of amassing superior talent.

Why not Rick Pitino? Ya'll love unethical people in charge. Let's go get one of the best cheaters in college basketball, plus he is always in nice suits.

I would love to see Bill Self on LSU's sideline but, as others have mentioned, he has health problems and is weighing on whether to return to KU or not.

You seem to subscribe to the idea that there are highly successful football and men's basketball programs that are run cleanly. That's precious.
