    I'll concede KDJ isn't the worst we could do. He does have a cool nickname "Froggie".

    He should have gotten the gig after Richard was let go...
    right you are. If he had this team, we would see some offense and would at least be in the NIT. Also he has beaten the Rebs the last 2 out of 3.

    John Brady would a huge upgrade over Rick Ray-are you kidding? Hell he kicked Ray ass this year with Arkansas State. Put him back in the SEC and see what he can do. LSU has suxed since He left.

    Not exactly lighting the world on fire.
    Thank you. People are complaining about taking more than 3 years to turn things into a positive direction, yet want a guy who has already proven it took him a full decade to get to 20 wins in a lesser conference?

    Kermit Davis is in no way a better option than Stans. It would be completely pointless for us to have gotten rid of Stans if we're going to ultimately hire Kermit Davis. Good grief.

    No one said that KDJ is a hall of fame coach..
    But if you think he is downgrade from our present and last coach your wrong. And I bet you if KDJ had come here after Stands left with what he inherited And kept Sword Gavin and Thomas to work with we would be at least a NIT team this year..
    No one said he would be a homerun hire, but who would be.?
    I had rather go the ex coach or present coach route than go the assistant route.
    Which SEC school right now has a head coach with no previous D1 head coaching experience? Zero that I can think of.
    Hell we haven't made a basketball hire like that since who?

    No matter who it is they have to bring energy to the program and get the fan base back...

    Exactly.. And the previous 2 didn't either... Just saying maybe let's go that route and see what happens.. If we have to roll the dice on the next hire and don't have that homerun hire let's get a present head or ex head coach in here

    I would rather go with an unknown than a guy who has proven it will take him years and years to produce a quality product. I have no idea how you can claim Davis would have been a better option than Stans. That's absurd to me.

    Missouri also hired a guy w/o D1 HC experience, btw. Not that that's a great example haha.

    I think ur right about Anderson at Mizzu. But I think he won a recent national championship at D2 or D3..
    And no that's not a great example so far...

    No Eustachy, Brady, or Kermit.

    Here are some good choices:
    Mchael White - don't think we could get him. Turned down UT last year
    Brad Underwood - Stephen F Austin
    Ben Jacobson - Northern Iowa
    Bobby Hurley - Buffalo

    And if you want to get a ton of talent but risk the possibility of going on probation, we could get Ben Howland.

    i like White but Eustachy, Brady and Kermit probably know more about basketball and how to recruit than all those young Guys put together. i think there is no chance in hiring any of those three. You know there was a time when the consensus opinion was don't Hire Jackie ,let's hire some young up and comer.

    I can certainly understand not wanting eustachy bc of his past, but no one on your list comes close to eustachy's track record. Eustachy has led 4 programs (Utah st, isu, usm, and csu) to the ncaa. He's a winner that's already won in our state.

    Howland by all accounts is a total ahole so not sure that would be a good fit.

    Here's a few other names with about 10 minutes of looking at the coaching staffs of some top 25 teams:

    Joe Pasternack - Asst. Arizona. has new orleans ties as was a head coach at UNO. Two good years and two terrible ones make him a risky hire. But I think guys learn a lot from their first HC gig and he's been in a top program the past few years.

    Damon Stoudamire - Asst. Arizona - no idea but he's into coaching and has name recognition as a former NBA player. might be worth at least sniffing around and seeing if you think he's got anything special about him

    Kerry Johnson - Asst. Louisville

    Jeff Capel - Asst. Duke - has been mentioned befoe

    Haha, well 'sux' is fine, but 'suxed' just reads weird. I couldn't get past it.

    No thanks on Capel. Stoudamire is an interesting name, though I'm not sure he'd be willing to come here.

    Why no on Capel? Not fighting you, just curious.

    Since we're talking about coaches who once did something good, let's throw Tim Floyd out there as well.

    here is why I like John Brady

    In 10 seasons at LSU, Brady compiled a 184–126 record, including two SEC Regular Season Titles and four NCAA tournament appearances. A sweet 16 and a final Four. he has a record of 380-306 for .554% . I would take that in the next 10 years at MSU. Now show me a Coach that we could sign with a better resume' than that
