The university spent $192.8 million on total operating expenses in the 2022 fiscal year, $61.2 million more than in 2021, $37.2 million more than in 2020 and $43.8 million more than in 2019, according to the documents.

Meaning regardless of how much is coming in, they are going to find a way to spend it to keep up in the SEC arms race.

So if the buyout money is there it will take more TAF donations. The rest of the money already seems to be spoken for with current expenses.

Correct. And I'm as pissed off as the next fan, but no coach worth a damn is going to come here if we fire McMahon after one season.

Other GOOD coaches aren't blind, and won't be scared off by firing McMahon after one year. Any objective observer can determine that McMahon has vastly underperformed, even given the circumstances he took over.

If McMahon (and the program) were just showing a faint heartbeat, and ANYTHING that showed promise for the future, no reasonable person would be questioning his job status at all.

This guy has shown NOTHING to give ANYONE ANYTHING to be optimistic about as far as this program is concerned. That is a major problem.

If the funds are truly available with the new TV deals, Woodward needs to swallow his pride and cut bait with McMahon. My first choice would be Beard or Wade. Another poster mentioned Donovan. I'd be thrilled with him, but don't know he'd be interested.

Simpletons on here accuse me and other posters of loving Wade, or defending a MONSTER (completely unproven) like Beard. That is bullspit. I want WHOEVER IT IS to maximize what LSU can be in basketball. IMO, that is AT LEAST what Baylor is doing. I've witnessed success like that in the past in BR. It's not as farfetched as some of you seem to think.
