And who the best man is for the job. With their history, never say never.


quote:

McNeese President Wade Rousse sat down with Will Wade when he hired him as basketball coach and laid out a two-year plan: Make the NCAA Tournament in the first year and win a game in the second. After that, he figured, it might be tough to keep Wade around. And he’s been right on all counts.

“I may never make another plan,” Rousse said after the 12th-seeded Cowboys upset No. 5 seed Clemson 69-67 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. “Because that one turned out so well. I said, ‘I don’t need a coach. I need someone who understands what our vision is and what our mission is.’ And Coach Wade is all-in on that.”

If LSU is going Back to the Future how bout bringing back Brown or Brady!!! Both won while at LSU!!!. And the games would be more entertaining. Also I'm beginning to believe LSU got "Brett Farved" when hiring CMM aka Ja Morant!!!...

Guy won the sec in his second year.

His first year he made the NIT and won a game which is a higher mark than McLoser has ever achieved here.

Under Wade after year 1 we made the tourny every year and would have during the Covid year if people weren’t being such gay Karen’s canceling events.

Sec title, sweet 16 that’s winning here and almost any program in the sec outside of Kentucky and now maybe Florida

You pathetic people need to accept that Wade will never coach LSU again.

I can understand your moral argument. I don’t agree with you here but I understand how someone could feel that way. However, you lose any credibility or even the ability to make a morals based argument when you flat-out lie about his results. He is a winner. Everywhere he has been. Your opinion doesn’t matter.

The door is open. At least it was as of last weekend. Does that mean he comes back? Of course not. But there is communication and interest from both sides. Rousse was not just Wade’s boss at McNeese. They are friends. I have no idea where this goes, but I do know the story of LSU-WW is not finished yet.

Cheating involves doing something outside the rules that helps you gain a competitive advantage. He was operating outside the rules to keep up with everyone else that was also operating outside the rules. He gained no competitive advantage, he just got caught. Kind of like the Yankees building out the most efficient technological sign stealing system in history, using it for years, and then having it leak out to the rest of the league via former players who then adopted it

While I might agree that this board grossly overrates Will Wade, your take is still incredibly dumb.

The best part of Wade returning to LSU would be all the so called basketball fans that it would make miserable

Actually, there really isn’t any “understanding” it. The “cheating” he was accused of (paying players) is not only now legal, but necessary. You WANT a coach who is good at getting the money to pay players.

Any person who says they wouldn’t want Wade back as HC isn’t an LSU basketball fan. END.OF.STORY. They just have some odd personal agenda in being a contrarian. Because, logically, it makes no sense why a FAN would not want the winningest HC in the last 100+ of the program to coach their team.
