re: McMahon is on the clock now

Do we have fans that would seriously be ok with 3 more years of being an NIT bubble team, if that's what happens?

I'm not saying that they WILL be a NIT at best, but you are giving him 3 more regardless of anything. So if what we see this season is the ceiling, is that good enough for 3 more years?

He's not getting 3 more years if the results are only the same or slightly better. Woodward has been pretty proactive in cutting loose a sinking ship in his time at LSU. So I don't think things would be any different for what should be LSU's second largest revenue generator. He fired O 1.5 years after probably the best season in LSU football history (and after giving O a big raise/extension). He "nudged" Maineri out even though he had back to back Super Regional appearances.

LSU had little negotiating leverage when they hired McMahon, so I'm CERTAIN the contract length were terms McMahon demanded. Not LSU. If Woodward would choose to fire McMahon after next year he would be looking at an $8-10M buyout. Relatively speaking that is not a huge number.
