Johnny Jones answered questions regarding his future with the program and his players’ commitment at a press conference a day after his team’s 30-point drubbing at the hands of Texas A&M in College Station.
“No, absolutely not,” Jones said, when asked if his team quit against the Aggies. “You know quit when you see it in guys’ eyes. I thought we played a good team last night, but quit? No. I think these guys care about what they’re doing.”
The questions then switched to ones concerning his job security.
“I don’t get caught up in that,” Jones said. “I’ve been a coach for a living. I’ve been doing this for 30 odd years. I’ve won everywhere I’ve been. I’m a competitor. Nobody wants to win more than I do.”
The Tigers sit at 1-3 in conference play and 9-6 overall.
LSU’s next game is against Alabama on Saturday in the PMAC. Tip-off is scheduled for 2:30p.m. CT.
