Now, I do think that strategy is debatable, but maybe CMM has already been told that he has two more years to turn things around.

I doubt he has been given any hardline ultimatums. I think its really just a matter of him approaching program building in the only way he knows how. Years long development. You have to remember, he comes to LSU with zero major-conf. playing and coaching experience. All he knew before coming to LSU was the mid-major model of recruiting second-tier players and gradually developing an experienced team over the course of multiple years. He didn't recruit or coach one-and-done guys, or guys with that mindset.

The transfer rules have now made it where every player is a potential one-and-done (no matter their skill level). However, McMahon is trying to develop a team/program with the mid-major mentality (redshirts, multi-year players slowly getting bigger and bigger roles as their experience increases, etc). Hopefully it works.
