Stop banging on Wade

Give the man some slack. He is a great coach who’s had a REALLY rough road so far here. If he stays, the upcoming years will be some great basketball as he continues to get acclimated to Louisiana and the south. If he gets fed up and leaves, he will win a championship (or two or three or more) with whatever program he goes to.
We are fortunate to have him. Just let the man work!

its been rough only because of his own actions. Posted on 2/1/21 at 8:09 am to sumtimeitbeslikedat
Really rough road?
Through HIS recruiting efforts he had LSU resurrected very quickly. And it manifested with arguably the best regular season since 1980. He raised the level of expectations quicker than anyone could have hoped. That is a good thing!!
But it doesn't mean that he should be beyond reasonable criticism. As we sit here today this is the worst coaching job he has done at LSU to date. And it is not JUST the meltdown loss vs. Texas Tech. It's the failure to fix the defensive woes after FULLY RECOGNIZING last year it was a HUGE problem. He's struggled meshing his "big three" players as at times it looks like Watford and Thomas are competing more with each other for NBA scouts' eyes vs. the opponent
Going into the season this was, IMO, his second most talented team at LSU (some would argue the most talented). Right now, if the NCAAT started today it is likely this group wouldn't be in it and for a program that really thrived on beating good opponents in year's 1 and 2, that has fallen off the last two seasons. Particularly this season where it appears LSU simply isn't a good enough team to play with the better teams in CBB.
No one, realistically, is calling for him to be fired (yet). But I don't understand why it is so taboo to levy some criticism on him whereas other HC's (O, Maineri, get lambasted non stop). Just because YOUR expectations of LSU basketball are pathetically low doesn't mean they SHOULD be

Not really, but this is LSU, not KY, Duke or UNC. So we aren’t doing better.

How is he a great coach?

I am a WW fan but even I will criticize him. Asking for him to be fired is ridiculous but I do believe he has lacked the ability to get consistent defense and I think he allows Cam too much room instead of working to make him a great all around baller. The guy could avg 5 assists per game easily if he just passed to the open man. He's done it a couple of times but there are many other times he should have. And at times when the offense gets stagnant needs to get Gaines or Cook in earlier and let them drive and create. I believe this team would be better with one of those 2 at PG. Oneal coming back will help with rebounding and D but the loss of Days hurts even though he has disappeared a couple of games also. Hope he can get it worked out soon.

Laughable. So it’s not the coaches fault the team struggles playing basic fundamental basketball?
