McMahon’s style is just so cookie cutter, I don’t see it working here. There’s no innovation or distinct characteristics schematically that would lead anyone to believe he’s capable of elevating the program. You can call it bland or solid and basic basketball but for a program like LSU to win you have to have an edge in some part of your approach because we’re never going to recruit at the level that can take a run of the mill type style and elevate it through star players.

Just curious, what did you view as Wads innovation or distinct schematic characteristics (outside of paying players from his wife’s bank account)?

Madking, I don't completely agree with your post. LSU has always gotten good to great players for basketball. Not quite to the level our football does, but not as bad as most people think.

For instance, our all-time team would run anybody out of the gym not named UNC or UCLA. You may read that, and instantly disagree. Start comparing and breaking down the matchups with the Kentucky's (and others) all-time teams to ours, and you'll see my point. Also, a little known fact is we are top 10 all-time for signing McDonald's AA players. We haven't exactly been paupers in getting basketball talent to BR.

I've always said that with the right coach (Dale or Wade), we can win big here. I'm on record REPEATEDLY that we should have just rode out the Wade situation. Let's hope Woodward can find a good one if McMahon doesn't work out.
