That there are no more repercussions for hiring recently fired/disgraced “toxic” coaches. And that would mean Woody should fire MM and go get Chris Beard.

Paying players and allegedly punching a woman are not equal.

Allegedly. Was Beard caught on tape or video?

How about Oates and his team of murderer/accomplices (allegedly)?

Will Wade was caught on tape talking about Javonte Smart.

The NCAA found zero evidence that Will Wade/LSU paid Javonte Smart.

Woodward gave McMahon guaranteed money with a monster buyout. You think someone's going to foot that bill when no one would even step up to help Wade pay players? He was having to use his own money. How fricked up is that? You think Coach K and Self and Calipari were taking money from their own salaries for paying players without outside pockets covering those tabs? Absolutely not.

I've begrudgingly come to accept the fact that LSU admin and bigwigs could give a shite less about LSU MBB. It's pathetic and sad.

What is it called, the red-headed stepchild? I don't understand it all. MBB is a revenue generator.

And ppl hate Wade for allegedly doing that. This dude cared more about LSU Basketball than half this fanbase and admin.

Chick was beat up.

Her not wanting to press charges and refusing to cooperate doesn’t change that fact.

I still can’t believe we fired one of the best CBB coaches ever because he wanted to help one of his players put food on the table for his family

Bottom line is if Ole Miss hires Wade it removes all doubt that Woodward fricked up by firing him.

His biggest frick up was hiring McMahon. That had disaster written all over it from the start. He should have thrown the bank (since that’s all he is good at) to Scott Drew Tony Bennett or Jamie Dixon

Relative to football it is nearly inconsequential, as is everything else at LSU. Baseball is ahead of it only because of all the titles Skip won.

Most people do not hate Wade any more than most hate McMahon. I do wish he had been a little savvier about it all.

Probably, almost like his job depended on it.

While I do not dissagree with you. LSU did just fire Wade, had NCAA sanctions looming, and the whole damn exsisting roster opting out………I mean no one wanted that job right then much less those names. I was completely surprised we got CMM at the time. I still think CMM could turn out to be a very good coach………but he needs talent or he is gonna get skulldragged like this every year. He has to beef up the roster quite a bit.

Semjase screaming for Alleva to hire Bennett way back when he was at Washington State. (When Trent Johnson was hired)

Bennett could have been hired easily and on the cheap.

Alleva responsible for Johnson, Jones, Fargas, Orgeron and Aramark. (Nunez was responsible for Wade)
