It’s rumored Wade has a 2-year deal in place with McNeese State that will be announced after their conference tournament


Where is this rumor?

If Wade is going to be eligible to coach next season then why in the hell would he waste his time going to McNeese? There will be MANY more, much better, opportunities available (both at the mid-major and major conf level) than McNeese. That would be a career setback...not a stepping stone. Wade could just take the Sean Miller route. Fired by Arizona amidst an ongoing investigation, then hired by Xavier once he was able to provide assurance he was not going to have sanctions (show cause) follow him to a new school.

If, IF, Wade is going to McNeese it would ONLY be because he knows there will be sanctions that follow him and McNeese is the ONLY place that will hire him. Otherwise, going there makes absolutely zero sense for him...which is why I think these "rumors" are BS.

Maybe uncertainty remains and McNeese only offer he has? Maybe he can still bring his recruits and he’s passionate about coaching and wants to maintain those relationships? I heard 2-year deal so maybe he’d prefer to coach and bet on himself and be in a stronger position in 2026? Maybe he doesn’t want to move his family? Maybe he thinks he can return to LSU?

As a LC resident, I'd buy McNeese season tickets tomorrow if this happened tho!

Rumors are Rumors, but there is one other factor very few are aware of.

The McNeese AD and Wade go way back. As are the current McNeese HC and Wade.

Rumor has it, Wade would keep current HC on staff.

If any of this is true, the only reason would be to help out some old friends, while he positions his self for another P5.
