As an LSU fan, and one who lives in Memphis, I have seen a lot of JJ over the years, and see him as a good fit to return to LSU (if the position were to come open). What do you guys think? :geauxtige
He was accused of it but I think the final decision by NCAA was that there wasn't enough evidence....... "The bullet" was also a good recruiter: Ronnie Henderson, Duane Spencer, Randy Livingston and Deuce Ford. He was also on the staff which landed Shaquille O'Neal and Chris Jackson. :thumb:
Here's an article on it for you. :thumb: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/college/news/1998/06/22/lsu_ncaa/
I know he is from "that era", but he is a classy guy, good coach, and has paid his dues since then. I just think he would be an interesting candidate. I would take his integrity over John Brady's in an instant.
The NCAA Gestapo practically gave us a death penalty for his alleged actions. I don't want to tempt fate one more time, unless it really did kill the program and that money could go towards football.
I just wanted to put a feeler out, and now I see the residing sentiment. I disagree about his character because I saw it first hand here in Memphis. I don't know if he was guilty or innocent, but I believe in Grace regardless. He is regarded as classy up here, so go figure. Regardless, I respect everyone's opinion....
Johnny Jones was a tremendous recruiter at LSU. He'll get consideration when we next have an opening. He got hoodwinked by Lester Earl, but he's likely smarter now.
