He was awful at actual play calling and coaching.


You don’t win as many games as he did at LSU, and you don’t take over a completely dead with zero hope program and win a conference with them in year one if you aren’t coaching Xs and Os at a decent level.

I don’t disagree with that, but it was street ball and not actual play calls. Watch Alabama and how they spread and move and get to spots
I’m not hating on Wade at all, I wish he was still here, but I don’t that McMahon is awful. He will be just fine next year

"completely dead with zero hope" programs have multiple future NBA players on a full roster? Just because Johnny Jones couldn't coach doesn't mean there wasn't talent.

It is funny to see the Wade Brigade constantly claim that Wade took over a horrible situation.

The Wade vs McMahon "argument" makes my head hurt.

McMahon was given a seven-year contract, which sorta tells us what Woodward thought of the rebuilding job that lay ahead.

I miss the LSU teams that played under Will Wade. But there's no way the NCAA was going to allow us to retain Wade after the FBI wiretapping stuff. (Don't forget that there were football violations, too. In a sense, we sacrificed basketball for the sake of football. I'm okay with that, and so should we all).

The real hurt is going to come when McNeese continues to post good records and some SEC team decides to hire Wade.
