Is Ben Howland On Hot Seat Next Season?

He is about to end his second season with no record improvement in SEC play over his predecessor after 2 years at the helm.
If they don't improve and make a run at the tourney next year, does he survive under a new AD?

No. Minimum of 2 more years before they would consider firing him.

No, he will not be on the hot seat IMO. He had a mess to clean up. I think he is guarenteed 2 maybe 3 more years dependent on just how bad the next two are. I expect us to be much improved next year. I don't see us making the NCAAT but I do think we get an NIT bid. The following year we should make the NCAAT.

LSU basketball fan trolling State. No matter how boring Howland Ball is, it is much better then the shite show Johnny Jones has been putting on the floor. Even with the next Lebron.

No. They're winning 30 games next year, is what I was told.

Unless they just collapse next year ( 3 wins or less in SEC play) I think he is going to get his fourth year.

Howland has another 2 years easily before any decision is made. State is a much bigger rebuild job than even MSU fans gave credence to. They all thought because Howland made the tournament his 2nd year at every previous stop he'd do it at MSU too, nope. He has a good recruiting class coming in to complement the freshmen he got this year so it'll be interesting to see what he can do with some actual talent the next 2 years.

MSU has either the #1 or #2 youngest roster in the nation this year. With most of the team jumping from freshmen to sophomore's next year I expect a fairly large improvement and I did not really think anything would be accomplished this season.
He had to do a complete rebuild and he a has a good track record of doing that so no I don't think he is close to being on the hot seat.

if LSU is mediocre at football this year is he more likely to fire for the sake of distraction or more likely to not pay attention at all to basketball?

LSU named their free throw coach as their new head coach. L15U

He's almost as over-hyped as JJ at LSU. Talk about underachieving. JJ still does less with more, IMO.

There was like a 10 page thread a couple of weeks ago announcing the 2nd coming of Calipari. What happened?

Maybe hot seat if they regress next year. But no way you should fire a coach until after year 4 at least without extreme circumstances

He's going to be wrecking most of the league next year so it really doesn't matter if he's on the hot seat or not.

The scores have been very close in games this year except for the OM game in Oxford as the outlier. The fact remains this is the youngest (or second youngest depending on one player) team in Div 1. The fact this team has lost by so few points or taken some of you (OM looking at you) to OT should be way more worrisome to y'all then it reflects on Howland. We'll see you next year with a vastly improved team in terms of talent and depth.
