re: Fire McMahon, rehire Wade, build new arena

In all seriousness, there's no reason not to fire McMahon and rehire Wade if Wade is willing to come back. That doesn't even have anything to do with McMahon. I think he's done as good as could reasonably be expected in his first two seasons. You know who else didn't "deserve" to be fired after 2 seasons? Les Miles after 2006. But, in hindsight, LSU 100% should have fired Les Miles and rehired Nick Saban if Saban was willing to come back. A lot of people even said that at that time but it was viewed as outlandish-- just as it's being viewed to bring back Wade now. I don't feel like you can care about appearances or anything else. If you have a coach that you know without a doubt is the best option and they want the job, you give it to them-- it doesn't matter who you have to replace in order to do so.

The NCAA investigation is closed. The football program was spared. NIL is now legal. Wade and LSU both served their punishment. Why let Wade go to Louisville or somewhere and compete for a national championship while McMahon continues to do a good job fielding a middle of the road SEC team? How does that decision make any logical sense? The past doesn't matter. Wade's actions don't matter. LSU's decisions don't matter. McMahon's results don't matter.
