Dusty May – modern offense, Final Four credibility

Chris Beard – proven big-time winner

Ryan Odom – smart up-and-coming coach

Any others?

Johnny Jones. He’s led Texas Southern to the tournament multiple times.

I upvoted as I appreciate your sarcasm. But, I don't believe in retreads, even with Coach Jones.

Of course it is. OP made this post to intentionally omit Will Wade, but include a coach that is currently 27-2 and ranked #3 in the country. Dude is certifiable.

Yes.

But it is reflective of the stupidity that will soon deluge the board if/when McMahon is officially fired.

May is not leaving Michigan and Odom (though he will get a big raise) is not leaving UVA.

Chris Beard has a base salary of $6M + a $4.5M buyout if he leaves. Even though I like Beard, LSU is not committing $10M+ to make that hire.

Like it or not, Wade will be a target and he will have the best resume of anyone LSU has even a remotely reasonable chance of hiring. Beyond that, the mid-major ranks is likely where LSU's next HC will come from.

The first five calls should be to Billy Donovan. Throw the bank at him and get him to remember how much he misses college basketball. LSU has a much greater tradition than Florida had in 1997.

Great plan!

But here back in reality that is a waste of 5 calls. The guy doesn't want to come back to coach college basketball. If he did, he would have gone to Kentucky two years ago when they asked....and offered a much bigger bank than LSU would

Mick Cronin would be a disaster hire on the level of MM.
