Does Tommy Amekur have a connection to LSU? He didn't do very good at Michigan if I remember correctly, so I am a little surprised LSU would want him. He also is making quite a bit at Harvard I thought.

I don't think JJ goes, unless they offered him to double his salary. If that's the case, it could be hard to turn down.

If JJ goes I would have no Problem with Reggie Theus. I remember while he was at NMSU he was able to get the people in the area motivated and he put a good product on the floor.

Not just saying this so we can keep JJ, but if I'm LSU I think I'd hire Tommy Amaker.

Well, if things were not going well with Trent Johnson, why would you hire Amaker? Johnson came from Stanford, kind of a Harvard of the West. Neither had Louisiana ties. Theus has family there, hardly enough to help recruiting. Unfortunately for us, still looks like JJ is the guy.

I love Tommy Amaker...but I don't know if he's a big program coach (failed experiment at Michigan) and he has a GREAT situation at Harvard...brings back damn near everyone from a ranked Ivy team and is welcoming a nice recruiting class. If I were him, I'd give a great deal of pause before taking a job in the SEC..especially one whose situation damn near mirrors what he walked into at Michigan (football school...relatively recent though short-lived basketball success).

If this is legitimately the short list...man...I'm going to start readying my emotions and building up my bourbon collection.

After reading the continuing comments about JJ on LSU igmo fansite I am convinced that these supposed "LSU fans" have NO clue that we whooped their ace by 20 points in their house last year. Please read these comments JJ and stay where you are loved. The pressure that this non-basketball school fanbase will put on him with their sheer sense of entitlement is astounding.

They have a Tigers Nest Forum? That's pretty cool.

They probably can't remember all of the losses they had last year since they damn near lost to everyone, including losses to Rice and Nichols State. And I believe they only won three games in the SEC.

If I'm wanting-to-go-to-LSU JJ, this would be the worst timing. Who would want to be in his shoes? Look at this roster and tell me it's an easy decision to go.

I'm verklempt.

Of all the years to stay and all the years not to go , this would be the 1 year

LSU will be below .500 next year, mark my word

If he does leave , this will be a very desirable job for a lot of people

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.
