re: McMahon and LSU Basketball gearing up for a busy September

You're right. It isn't fair to say McMahon was a lazy hire. He was actually successful, and it was rumored a few other SEC schools tried to hire him. As down as I am about him being the coach, I SWEAR I'm pulling for him, because I want LSU to win. We should be the second best program in the SEC in men's basketball and we need to get back to that and stay there.
I guess the problem I have is that we should have kept Wade, so I look at McMahon in a harsh light. I stand by my assertion that Wade would have been way more successful last year than McMahon was. Hell, he inherited as bad or worse of a program from JJ, and we saw how competitive we were in his first year.
Your second point doesn't move me as much. You say that for every good example you can show me two bad ones. Well, it's Woodward's job to hire one of the coaches in the top 33% of the hiring pool, or better yet, grow a pair of nuts and keep the coach we currently had who by all accounts was gonna stay here for years, and would have had us in the tournament yearly. Odds are, we would have had some deep runs mixed in, and LSU basketball would be a hell of all lot more fun than what we're staring at now.

I agree with you on the wade part. He had our program in a good place from a competition perspective. The only point I was trying to make with my second point is that the success of a coach shouldn't necessarily be determined off of his very first season because there are multiple instances of coaches who have poor first seasons but are able to improve once they get momentum. Not saying that's necessarily the case with Mcmahon, but I'm hoping like hell that it is not bc I just love mcmahon but because I love LSU basketball

the free market proved Will Wade's current worth. You guys are nutty as hell over this man. No one wants to touch him, but you want him as your coach. Lol
