This should really get you excited: http://markmadsen.com/blog/PermaLink,guid,1bf29a9b-0604-464c-b27c-0b8aab8f19e8.aspx :geauxtige
I can tell you that the dude is very, very intense... Like Pat Summitt, he has a "stare"... Hell, the dude got kicked out of an NCAA Tourny game this year. just read the blog... says the dude plays 1-1 against his players. lol gotta love that.
WOW...its really a done deal...haha...even Wikipedia has him listed as LSU's coach already... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Johnson
I must say I don't know a whole lot about Johnson, but the more I read about him the better I feel about this hire.
Everything takes time to get it right, I think LSU has made that step in time. Congrats on this hire. This guy will bring alot to the program, the no nonsense approach is what you need in College basketball, because coaching is so very important in the sport.
That would be awesome to see the whole state cheering. Forget this guy as our basketball coach, lets make him governor!
