Please by all means, explain in detail

someone explain to me why woodward hasn't replaced these folks? i was hoping for these changes when he was hired.

I mean Mullinex and Marucci and Moffitt and Nader, etc have been around for a long god damn time

They all pre date Woodward even from his first stint at LSU. They’re part of the institution.

Hey man, I've been lurking for awhile and recently got my account all set up just to reply to you. I really do appreciate all the information that you give out!

Anyways, I got two questions for you.

1. Do you have faith in Woodward to make or at least try his hardest to make a block buster hire (considering O gets canned)? specifically, I have in mind the story of how Alabama got Saban. The AD personally waited outside Sabans home for a couple of days and was absolutely relentless. Is that something SW would do?

2. How much in danger is Will Wade's job? I imagine a lot rides on the independent investigation, but if you had to rate on a scale from 1-10, 10 being dead in the water, how screwed is he? Better yet, is there some previous coach or scandal that you could relate his situation to?

Thanks for all the info man! cheers

Yes and no.

From the (very) few nuggets I've gleaned I don't think the administration particularly loves Wade, but they are at least reasonable enough to appreciate the quick and remarkable turnaround of an, at best, apathetic program. Wade is incessantly demanding. He is highly driven to make LSU a championship program and, in turn, is highly driven to obtain the resources he feels he needs to make it happen. Not unlike Saban when he first arrived at LSU in 2000. While you respect the results. Those personalities can be tough to deal with because they are almost never satisfied.

Had Wade not completely turned around the program in 2019 he would have likely been gone shortly after the wiretap stuff came out. But the reality is LSU basketball isn't LSU football. It's not perceived as a top 5% job nationally and Wade has started to put together consistent results, with an opportunity for the program to be national player. Something that hasn't happened in 30 years. Plus, Woodward is smart enough to know that a BIG reason he is here is because of the visceral reaction from fans and booster alike against Alleva at that sold-out 2019 Vanderbilt game where Wade was suspended. Point being, Wade has the most outside support of any basketball HC since the heyday of Brown's tenure....and it took THIRTY YEARS to get even close to that.

In sum, I don't think the administration would be crestfallen if they HAD to cut ties with Wade. But they also are reluctant to do so unless they have no choice. Because you don't want to be the AD who unnecessarily let the next Billy Donovan, Rick Pitino walk off of your campus to have tremendous success elsewhere while you spend the next several decades mired in inconsistency and mediocrity. While Wade is CERTAINLY NOT in the Donovan, Pitino category yet. At 38 years old he's already led teams to NCAA Tournaments. Completely turned around a major conf. program. Won a conference title and looks to be in position to compete for another. Yes, there is potential risk in sticking with him. But their could also be huge reward for doing so.

I was so pissed at that shite, I fired off multiple emails to the athletic department admins. I never do that kind of shite. Verge was the only one who responded.

I agree, fish or cut bait. Middle of the road is home to yellow lines and dead animals.

Show me a HC who has cleaned house that has been successful

Woodward is positioning himself to be the Lsu system president and wants to be viewed as The guy who cleaned up the athletic department.

Conceivably why he has not re-booted compliance dept?

Just when I thought I couldn't love Will Wade any more, you go and post that homerun making me relive through Will Wade's nearly 4 years here. I love that man. I fricking love that man.
