Did you post this on Scout as well?

[SMU 86]

It is already on LSU Scout as free content. I thought you would be asking me if I posted it on c o u n t i n g posts.com as well. LOL.

[StangEsq]

I don't think any of the head coaches on that list would come here outside of Jones. Some of them already crossed us off.

[SMU 86]

Crossed us off is about right.

The only thing different was the LSU Schout editor actually wrote a review compare to ours (Scout editor)...

[StangEsq]

a lot of unreasonable candidates on there from our perspective and a couple that I doubt we could even get the administration on board with... no matter how much of an upgrade they are

What is the deal with Theus? He did at great job at New Mexico, is a national name, and is a former NBA coach. Seems like he cant get a job coaching. I would take him with open arms at this time

[StangEsq]

Turned down Nebraska... not sure where he wants to go

I guess SMU is too good to interview Johnny Jones.

I heard the coach at FM Marcus might be interested. Are we taking apps from h.s. coaches yet?

[SMU 86]

ScottRabalais: Per WBRZ's Chad Sabadie: Johnny Jones interviewed with #LSU last night. Reggie Theus, Tommy Amaker to follow.

Well at least SMU tried to talk to Amaker.

[redpony]

Real slap in the face by amaker and theus. Absolutely no interest in us but willing to talk to a crap school like lsu.

[SMU 86]

We never approached Theus to my understanding. LSU does have more history as a successful program than SMU so it is not considered a crap school. And for that matter I guess we slapped Johnny Jones in the face by not interviewing him.
