    I prefer the Trent Johnson hire in that he is a coach in the prime of his career, not a has-been living off his name, which is essentially what Knight was at Texas Tech and would be a Georgia too. Knight might bring some short-term attention and buzz to a program, but I don't like him as a hire for a program looking to build for the future. LSU did the right thing; Johnson could easily stay 10-15 years if things go well.

    Maybe one day we'll be as good as Texas Tech was with him...

    Thats the most stupid thing I ever heard. I'm glad we do have people with some smarts when it comes to hiring

    Actually I am with you guys.
    I don't care for Bob Knight and I wouldn't want him running the program.:po:
    I am very happy with Trent Johnson but I just couldn't resist posting that!:lol:

    We have a basketball coach. We have a football coach. Both are great just where they are (with us).
