He’s never coming back after what LSU did to him.

Haha!!! We are completely irrelevant. It would have been better at this point to be on 2 years of probation. At least then we would have excuse.

This board is clueless in basketball. Wade, Oats, Musselman, all turned around programs in year 2

It can clearly be done, that is what makes this situation so bad. Mid Major McMahon is crying about this really being his first year and last year didn’t count.

What is even more frustrating is we definitely putting NIL money on the table because he just landed two top 50 players. He swung at others last year, but he cannot close.

Is it LSU’s fault that Wade is a dumb arse?

I’m willing to give one more year, since he has a nice freshman class put together, but half our team will be gone again as we have 5 seniors plus whoever decides to transfer

The decision to fire Wade and hire McMahon really will go down as one of the worst athletic decisions made in LSU history.

#1.....Skip Bertman not lifting a finger to try and keep Saban at LSU.

Legendary DA Alleva NOT hiring Tony Bennett when he was a young UP AND COMER at Washington State back when LDAA hired Trent Johnson.

LDAA not hiring 2-Time NBA HC Eric Musselman from Nevada right after Joneshoyang got fired. Musselman had just taken the Nevada job after stagnating on the bench under Joneshoyang.

Too many more to mention......

I’m not sure this fanbase can handle Wade going to another SEC school. I can promise you it’ll happen if we don’t hire him back.

Why wouldn’t he go to a school in a basketball conference instead? This isn’t football

Saban was the highest paid coach in college football when he left. What did you expect Skip to do?

This narrative is so tiring. The fact people are ok with the admin firing the guy who brought the program back from the dead and made it a consistent tournament team is the dumbest thing posted on this board.

And now we get to go back to shitty basketball for probably the next decade.

That dumbass used his own fricking resources to improve the team and there by improving the athletic program.

And yet, the NCAA still couldn't find much shite. 10 game suspension was well worth a top 3 record in 5 years at LSU you fricking clown

Last year we were competitive. There was something sketch going on.

This year, we are not very good at all. Nichols may be really good but we were down nearly 30 last night. We switched defensive strategy and came back but didn’t have the horsepower to put Nichols away.

Baseball lost a ton of talent off the 2001 team, Skip’s last year. Smoke took the team to the Super’s his first year and Omaha the next two. You can’t say he was a bad hire. Anybody that followed Skip was going to have a bad time, especially with Skip himself looking over their shoulder as AD.
