I know the Wade lovers want him back, but LSU is not going to rehire him. So who other than Wade should LSU hire, when CMM is fired?

Otzlberger from Iowa State is my favorite rn but chances are we’ll be mid major shopping again.

Agree, LSU will not rehire Will Wade, just like they wouldn’t rehire Nick Saban. I know it’s all different circumstances and people but sometimes you just have to do what’s best for the program.

Chris Mack, other than 2 bad years at Louisville he's been a good coach.


Or grant mcCasland from Texas tech.

If LSU is in the market for a new coach, the first, second, third, fourth call should be to Billy Donovan.

Is there a situation where he isn’t?
I’d hope not, but I wouldn’t be surprised

He’ll definitely leave the NBA for a college basketball program as prestigious as LSU.

It has been said that the reason not to go after a post Dolphins Saban was a Skip Bertman call.

Not sure my post came out right or what. I agree I would take Will Wade back but I don’t think LSU admin will!

You would have had to fire Les Miles after going 22-4 in his first two seasons. And I think they finished 2006 ranked number 3. So no way in hell was that happening.

One guy to look out for is Ben McCollum of Drake. A caveat is it's his first year there (they are 21-2). But McCollum is only 43 and he won 4 national championships at the D2 level before Drake. Risky, but lots of upside.

I saw that post.

Most LSU fans in NW LA and SW LA don't give two shits about LSU basketball.

Braxxton Jr. has a 2" vert and can't even bounce a ball that was made to bounce. Hoosiers. Time to name Gene Hackman as coach.

Yes I’m sure Billy Donovan is dying to leave the NBA for the dumpster fire that is LSU hoops

That’s interesting, have you seen his teams play? What are they like? I think I’ll go watch this guys games, thanks for bringing his name up.
