All I wish is that I saw this earlier so I could weigh in and hear everyone’s argument. Bobby wanted the job…Need I say more. BK is basketball and could do more for this program than just .500 basketball.

JD- It’s people like you that goof up the program. I hear you all the time. Give him a chance and just because he doesn’t have ties to the south or hasn’t played in a strong conference. Wow…What the dickens do you think is important? And I can promise you it’s not as important as those two things. You are not a true Bulldog. Go back home, Yank!

Anyone saying this is a good hire is probably used to Georgia Basketball. Yeah we can’t go down any further so lets just prolong the misery. Damons, get off your butt and your high horse and get someone in there that we can be proud of. Sorry coach but you’re not my pick…go home asap. Come on Bobby.

Should have gone with Bobby! How can Damons be so stupid? BK wanted the job and we snuffed him…Unbelieveable! Just like Georgia Basketball. About as bad as Slonaker!

I am a gator fan that lives in Alpharetta. But I follow SEC Sports and this is truly a surprise. Is this the best they could do? Xould they not have extended their search for a just a little more time and found someone in the SEC that was an up and coming assistant? And, I am not saying he is not a good coach that won’t good results. But, from a recruiting standpoint it will take him a couple of years to establish himself. So, I look forward to the same Dennis Felton results..

FireChipTowers: Not sure what you’re talking about. Purnell interviewed with Georgia Thursday afternoon in Atlanta. My mistake was reporting that they were in Detroit. They DID talk to Haith and to Anderson and to Capel. So I don’t follow what you’re getting at. But thanks for sharing your opinion just the same.

For those doubting his coaching credentials, just look at what Fox’s former boss at Nevada, and still his best friend, has done at LSU. Every hire is a risk but Fox has proven he can recruit (at NEVADA), develop players (put some in the NBA) and manage a game. Looks to me like a solid hire. Before long I expect we’ll be exciting to watch again.

Great move! A good chance to “grow” a great coach instead of trying to buy one.

Fools Gold…your name is appropriate. This blog is about our new backetball coac, not about LSU baseball. We’ll see who wins the SEC baseball title soon enough.

What I think is that we got a prettry decent coach. Remember we are talking about a program that has historically been a JOKE. With all credit due to Durham, Tubby and even Harrick, we’ve never been able to keep a consistent program going. Hopefully Fox can RECRUIT talent from Georgia and keep it from Bama, Florida and Kentucky. If he can, he will be very successful. My prediction is all the fools who post on here that he is a joke will continue to be the fools they are while this guy succeeds. UGA will be in the NCAA tourney in 2011 if not next year.
