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

Not hiring Spurrier
Hiring Curly
Hiring Smoke

Am I missing any?

What will it take to make a change?

Yep. I said it was at minimum a 5 year setback. That was assuming a decent hire.

It will be at least 7, and that is assuming we make a good hire with the next one and Woody has the guts to admit he screwed up and cut bait with McMahon. Of course, it’s Woody’s ego that put us in this spot.

$$$$

Woody gave mid major McMahon one of his patent 6-year contracts.

“Bruh, it’s a 20 year rebuild, stop over reacting”

I can’t believe anyone thinks in the transfer portal era there is an excuse to be so incompetent at putting a competitive roster together at LSU. Pathetic. Bring back Will Wade in 2024

Guy was genuinely a disaster of a hire. Can’t even be mad, unless you’re a Wade hater

It can absolutely be rebuilt in one year, but McMahon isn’t doing it.

You can turn around a basketball program pretty quickly with the right hire. It just depends when LSU decides to cut bait and get someone new.

The LSU administration has already told us they don't give 2 shits about the basketball program

We will really see if that’s the case in March.

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.

100% he should be back after this year if this year is just as shite as last year.

I wonder if we’d hire him back. I’d like to think so but I can’t imagine that would happen

Sadly us hoping to hire him back only ends like it did with Tennessee and pearl. The common fan and maybe even money fans want him but AD doesn’t.

Scott botched the firing and hiring so bad.

Woody’s ego fired him and that same ego would prevent him from admitting he is wrong and hiring him back.

At least Tennessee eventually went and got Barnes.

Wait. LSU should have known the 1986 Spurrier was going to turn out like he did? Alabama, Texas and Southern Cal had an opening, too.Why didn't they hire him?

The LSU Spurrier thing needs to die.

Mid Major McMahon is the new Curley Hallman.
