Does LSU Basketball coach yet?

MLU said

Johnnu Jones at North Texas and Butch Pierre are the two ther names that I have heard as rumored. Butch will definitely get an interview. Jones is a former player and former coach at LSU under Dale Brown. Grant is more than a possibility since sources have indicated that he is very interested in returning to the SEC.

I dont see either Jones or Pierre as having any real shot, although I have seen some reports about Jones being the pick. I just dont see it at all. Jones will forever be linked to the Lester Earl fiasco and would be a very unpopular pick with a lot of fans. Pierre is too linked to Brady to get the job.

I would like to see them get Tony Bennet from Washington State. He turned down Indiana and has some Louisiana ties through his wife. He is an awesome coach.

I think the pick will be Travis Ford from U Mass. Just a hunch from all I have read. It seems the guys they might really want, Bennet or Grant, might not be that interested.
