McMahon wasn't going to compete for anything big last season. Everyone knew that. But the results were far worse than any reasonable person expected. This season didn't look to be too much better until 2.5 weeks ago. Now there is a bit of hope. Is that just early season fools goal? Or is it something real? We'll find out over the next 2 months.



This is spot on exactly my observation.

The first year was a total and complete failure, and I've heard all the rationalizations and I agree with none of them. We did not have great talent but we even underachieved with what we had and no signs of improvement or development - hell we got worse as the year went on.

And I think you're spot on about this year as well, until about 2.5 weeks ago, this year looked ALOT like last year.

And it's more than the Cook addition, there have been other signs that give me some hope, and I want to hope, I want CMM to succeed. And I do hope we build on those.

Keep the faith brother. McMahon can coach and recruit. He doesn’t have to pay to win. He’s gonna take us on some deep runs given time.

Last year was absolutely abysmal. But McMahon was dealt the worst cards ever. Completely had to gut the entire roster with pending sanctions hanging over the program. We might have had a little bit of stability had Wade chosen to speak up and man up and let LSU know what players he paid or didn’t. But we definitely regressed one way or the other.

That being said we’ve made progress this year so far but we’re facing an absolute gauntlet in the next 8 games. And we’re gonna lose to some really good teams. Just stay the course and keep the faith. McMahon will win in due time

We certainly underachieved. No doubt about it. And I certainly thought he should’ve given the younger players more minutes. 6 sec wins this year is the ceiling imho. Next year hopefully 9 and an NIT bid. McMahon in my opinion certainly gets the benefit of the doubt and a 3 year pass considering how badly Wade absolutely f***** us and the cloud he left over our program. Ain’t no elite player, hs or portal in their right mind would even consider playing for LSU
