The idea that McMahon would keep his job

Let’s say they are trying to get Wade. The fact they have yet to fire this loser tells me that if we can’t get Wade, we keep him.
Which is absurd
Maybe promoting the top assistant to the AD that everyone hated wasn’t a great idea.

Because of the Wade-connected brass involved wanting this to happen, I think this decision is over Verge's head and he'll have minimal say in what goes down.

Is just not a big enough priority. No other of the big 3 sports would’ve kept him this long…..
It doesn’t have to be Wade

I would imagine they either aren't able to get Wade for whatever reason or the boosters don't want to pony up the money to buy McMahon and his staff out, but that's pure speculation.
Seems like they have also given a blank check to Kiffin to do as he pleases with NIL, hiring as many assistants as he wants, etc., which I am totally fine with. Money just may be tight for a sport that seems to be third in terms of popularity here. But that is also just speculation.
I do believe that McMahon would already have been shown the door if BK was still the head coach.

What if there are some boosters that aren't willing to pay the amount needed to fire McMahon and hire a new coach and pay for a roster unless they get Wade? And what if there is another group of boosters that don't want Wade?

Pretty sure that's exactly the case.

I wonder how many major conference schools have 0 NCAA tourney appearances in the past four years.
And of those few how many only have 1 NIT appearance in that time frame?
LSU may be the least potent team in America during this current tenure.

The LSU athletic department is a joke.

Or maybe the next coach is still in the tournament. 
But you seemed focused on Wade or bust.

By my count (including the Big East as a major conference): 19 (However, LSU is the only SEC team not to make it)

There are a few others who are as impotent...but not many.

It's possible.
But that seemingly wouldn't prevent LSU from firing MM if they are planning to replace him. It's likely the next coach of Syracuse, Providence, Georgia Tech, etc. is also in the tournament. That didn't stop them from announcing the firing of their (now) former coach immediately after their seasons ended.

That seems to be the focus of LSU. If McMahon was returning, then is seems like something would have leaked since last Wednesday confirming as much, just like such news leaked at places like Pitt, Oklahoma, Wake Forest, etc. If LSU is looking to hire a coach currently in the NCAA Tournament, then it seems like they wouldn't be waiting to fire McMahon given that is the usual course of action.

yes it is. By all outward appearances, it seems to be Wade or bust. I don't get it.
Its either
A) you want to fire McMahon, deservedly so. Or
B) you want to keep him to reduce buyout.
But option A, shouldn't exist only if you can get Wade.

Can we please just fire MM and let the chips fall where they may?

That would happen at literally any other university. But not LSU.
Boot Up baby for some more 16th place SEC finishes!

I'm disgusted that we have to be having this discussion.
How this is acceptable at LSU is beyond disappointing.

If Matt McMahon is the LSU coach next season he should wear an expensive suit court side.
If he’s going to coach a team that is impotent, he should at least look impotent.

It really is mind boggling when you think about it. To willfully punt on the only other profitable sport at the university is a travesty.
It’s why I say LSU athletics are run by bureaucrats. Not a sports minded one in the bunch.

If LSU is not going to take men's basketball serious especially in light of what has happened to at schools with relatively new coaches like Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, others, then just drop the sport. That LSU would continue in the same direction it's going is absurd. And stop with the Wade talk. There are really good coaches out there. If this is a keep CMM unless we can get Wade to come back is beyond stupid.

The fact that he still has a job gives me even more confidence that we are getting Wade.
Wade gets $2m cheaper on April 1. If we ask Wade to wait until then, I'm sure he would like us to keep the heat off of him. And just listen to his answer when asked a week or so ago... "is the job open?" He made it a point to point out that McMahon hasnt been fired. He would have to answer a lot differently if the job is open.
Then the thought is if its not him we keep MM bc he's not fired yet. Listen, MM hasnt done anythjng to keep his job. That's well established. The only reason to keep him being money is moot. It is cheaper to fire him this year than next.
If you keep him around another year and we're in the same boat next year and have to fire him, then next year you still have to buyout the rest of his contract and you still have to give a new coach a contract. You're only delaying it 1 year and in that 1 year you are paying MM 100% of his contract rather than 80%.
