He’s had a decent squad on paper before and ended up getting smoked in the SEC.
lolwut? Dude has had to cobble together a roster his 1st couple of years while the NCAA hammer hung over head. We're basically just getting to the point where you can legitimately judge him.

LSU It's reasonable to suggest no new power-conference coach had to scramble to put together a roster more than Matt McMahon had to scramble after leaving Murray State to replace Will Wade at LSU. It was quite the challenge. But McMahon convinced Adam Miller to exit the transfer portal and return to LSU, got Murray State stars KJ Williams and Justice Hill to follow him to the SEC, and actually assembled a respectable roster. Most are not projecting the Tigers to be a serious threat to make the NCAA Tournament, but it shouldn't be ruled out considering McMahon has coached in three of the past four.
That’s from Palm preseason. He went 2-16 in SEC play.

And EVERYONE who covered college basketball felt that roster should be good enough to finish in the middle of the pack of a good SEC. Multiple outlets felt in the preseason that roster could be potential NCAAT team. It is COMPLETE revisionist history to say the roster was horrible from the start and everyone should have known it. That's not true.
Maybe the roster wasn't as good as hoped in the preseason. But it sure as hell should not have been WORST in the SEC bad. Spin it all you want. McMahon did a terrible job last season. The good news though is that the current state of college basketball allows coaches to drastically change their fortunes over the course of just one season. There have been multiple teams since 2021 go from horrible to really good in just one season with a complete roster change (this roster has 8 new players). So hope remains that this season will be much better than last season
