Johnny Jones' fairy tale goes `POOF!'

(Wade Payne)

"This is probably one of the most important hires in the history of LSU basketball and we've got to get the right guy. When I go to the games, I don't see a whole lot of people having a lot of fun." - LSU Board of Supervisors member Stanley Jacobs on April 9, 2012, shortly after then-Tigers' coach Trent Johnson suddenly quit to coach TCU

Fairy tales are perfect for bedtime stories, but usually don't work in college athletics when a head coach seeking the perfect job believes he has finally found nirvana.
