know a lot have compared him to Curly in football, saying he had his previous success due to 1 player, I even thought that may be true and made the comparison. But upon closer review, the comparison is very flawed. McMahon actually spotted Morant's talent and signed him even though he was 600 miles from Murray State's campus in another state. Farve was an hour from Southern Miss. Also Hallman went to LSU immediately after Farve left whereas Morant had his best season at Murray State after Morant left.


People, generally non-basketball fans, missed the boat on this. McMahon's success at Murray St wasn't solely because of Ja Morant (though it is worth pointing out MSU had the most losses in a season in nearly 3 decades in McMahon's first two years there before Morant's arrival). It was because Murray St. had been a good program LONG before McMahon became the HC.

He went 13-13 the year Morant left, just 2 years ago.
