Because he has a proven record if the school want give him the money. He will write a personal check to get the player.

I know its still not allowed that way. But I am sure he can figure out how to funnel the money to the player.

Watch Auburn hire him after Little Pearl gets kicked out.

So in other words, once a cheater always a cheater.

This is exactly why he needs never to darken the PMAC doors again.

He lost last night by the way. Finished the season 19-12 at a basketball school. Doesn't bode well for him here in the new era where paying players is wide open.

I don't think any coach is setup for success at LSU basketball unless they can get guaranteed commitment to dump money into it for the players. No boosters are willing to pony up towards this so LSU will always bee a doormat here until it changes.

I think Wade would get much more support than you would expect. It's a sleeping giant waiting to be awakened like football was. I think Wade would get booster support and he'd win enough to satisfy the base.

Don’t tell the WW nut slurpers this, but he finished the season 1-6.

I mean he’s obviously better than MM

But are you going to pay buyouts to bring a 10-8 ACC coach into the best basketball conference in America because he used to coach at lsu once?

Name one coach with a better resume than Wade that LSU has a realistic chance of landing…

Pearl cheated - they hired his son at Auburn
Cal cheated- they hired him at UK & Arkansas
Self cheated- he won a Natty that same season but was backed by Admin
Are you so naive that you think WW did something so evil that it’s detrimental to coaching
The hate for Wade is as crazy as the Kudos for McCantWin

Don’t forget Dale Brown and Jonny Jones also cheated and nobody cared at LSU. They still don’t, the Wade stuff is fake outrage.

The narrative from the anti-Wade crowd is comical

1. Woodward will hire a much better coach than Will Wade.

2. Matt McMahon is better than Will Wade.

3. Matt McMahon needs 3 to 4 years because Wade devastated the program.

4. Will Wade will never land another power five job.

5. Now that paying players is legal, Will Wade will not win anything.

6. Will Wade is not good because he only won 19 games in his first season in North Carolina State.

These dumbasses can’t move the goal post fast enough. The reality is he’s about to bring his second team to the NCAA tournament since leaving LSU. In four years, three of which he coached, he won two Conference championships and will be playing in his third NCAA tournament.

It is Scot Woodward and William Tate who buried this program. I’m sorry that Will Wade was more popular than Coach O. I know that hurts your feelings.

And for the few select naïve morons who believe he’s the only coach on campus at from 2017 to 2022 that paid kids to come play at LSU, you are a special kind of stupid.

It’s not my job to hire coaches. But if it was, there would certainly be a process to hire the best one that I could find for the school, especially given the business decisions that will have to be made to accommodate the opening. I’m not saying disqualify Wade, but the process as being discussed is second rate.

For our position, we need to figure out what talent pool, level or type is accessible for us on a yearly basis. Find a coach that pairs with that level or type and build a culture for the program so when the next guy comes you can sustain the program.

Don’t cop out on your comment. Your implication was clear, is LSU going to pay buyout to get a guy who’s 10-8 in the ACC.

This of course ignores the fact that he’s under the age of 44, has taken four teams to the NCAA tournament and has won a power four conference championship. And has a top five winning percentage of active NCAA coaches. Again, find me somebody else with that résumé that LSU has a realistic chance of landing.

The answer is nobody, you just don’t want to admit it

It’s not a cop out, it would just be futile. I could have the next dusty May or mark byington lined up but you would poo-poo it because Matt McMahon came from a mid major. There is zero point in me giving you a name.
