Murray St. has only had one losing season since 1986

It's hilarious how little people know. Murray St. has been a consistently good mid major program for decades. McMahon didn't build that program, he simply inherited it.

He was 31-3 his last season there. I wasn’t excited about this hire though.

And LSU has had a lot.
We will chalk up another one this year.
Any school that misses the boat on the excitement of a great men’s basketball team is in on campus, just isn’t paying attention.

I don't understand why it's so hard for Woodward to fire McMahon, take a shite-ton of money, and find a decent coach.

That is true and not knowing that means you haven't paid attention to college basketball much and you are not good at simply googling to find out about stuff before you voice an opinion.

But Murray State's ability to continually put good coaches in place made me hopeful McMahon would do well at LSU. Unfortunately, my hopes appear to have been in vain, not an easy thing for me to admit because I tend to be a pumper by nature when it comes to LSU. If I had taken a deeper dive I would have seen that the last couple of Murray State coaches that got better gigs did not pan out so well elsewhere. McMahon's predecessor at Murray State, Steve Prohm, became his successor because he failed at Iowa State after a reasonably good start, Billy Kenedy was somewhat inconsistent at aTm and eventually fired by Scott Woodward.

I still hope McMahon proves us all wrong, unfortunately, I think it is more likely he gets fired after this season than that he is .500 in the SEC. Even more unfortunate, I am not sure either will happen.

You had posters trying to talk themselves into the idea that Matt McMahon built the Murray State program. Some of the idiots will still regurgitate that narrative from time to time.

Cut them a little slack, a lot of those guys are younger versions of me. A little too pollyannaish when it comes to LSU sports. Age will teach them to try to tamp that down a bit to avoid looking idiotic down the road (I guess I still manage that at times ).

I feel pretty hopeless now, though.
