Is Auburn After Jj ?

Zeebart post on the Belt board. Charles Barkley enroute to Denton after JJ.

"Fellas this is not a flame. Im not confusing JJ with Tubby. No matter how great things are at NT, Auburn could beat it x 3. I was just checking to see if anyone had heard anything."

That's turrible news, seriously.

They sent Barkley? They must not want him that badly.

There is no "i" in turble.

I really wouldn't blame JJ is he left. Playing in front of 1000 to 2500 people every night must be demoralizing.

They don't average much more than that at Auburn.

The only times our attendance is ever under 2500 is during Christmas break...mostly...

I would love to see JJ stay for, at least, next year to send the senior class out with a great season. That being said Johnny needs to do what is best for him and if that means jumping ship I wont hold it against him.

JJ is a great coach, no doubt, but we lack many quality OOC wins during his time here so I'm a little surprised a big program is knocking. Maybe I'm just in denial, please stay JJ! I also wouldn't hold it against him if he left.

JJ thread on the Belt board. CajunT claims that JJ has already been contacted by Barkley.

CajunT post

The source knows JJ well through his days at LSU and AAU ball. Barkley has already had conversations with JJ, it remains to be seen if he will officially interview.

BTW, if Johnson leaves LSU JJ with have to battle Ok.State assistant Butch Pierre for that position. Pierre has recruited the best of Louisiana over the past decade and continues to do so now. It's not a given he will get the LSU job.

Lucky Pierre.
