This should be call #1.


Wade is fools’ gold.

The lazy choice b/c the fans want him.

Dear Covingtontiger77,

At the moment we’re all out of brinks trucks, but at least Lane Kiffin is our football coach. I am open to any new donations if you have any leads.

Appearantly the donors (with Brinks trucks) are only interested in Wade. At least that’s the rumor. The $ isn’t there to just go hire anyone

You think Brad Stevens would come to LSU? The Brad Stevens that could name his job anywhere in the NBA and CBB.

Might as well call Steve Kerr too I guess. It's just a phone call, make him say no

Indiana offered him 10 million/year when he was still the head coach of the Celtics and he didn't even consider the job

Brad Stevens

Pass what you’re smoking

LSU is a bottom tier college basketball program

You need to revise your expectations

LOL.. he turned down 7yr / 70mil 5 years ago from IU... so what is your definition of a brinks truck for him ? 15 to 20 mil a year ? Kiffin makes 13 for the record

You might as well call Sydney Sweeney before you ask out Rachel in HR later this week.

The Butler job is open. He could have that one.

But don't worry, there will be a poster chiming in soon that Stevens was in BR last year and expressed interest in returning to coach in the college game..possibly at LSU

I'm not saying Wade is the best HC in the country or the only HC who could win at LSU. But it is comical, maybe more absurd, to see so many purported basketball fans be so against hiring the ONLY guy in nearly 3 decades who could consistently win at LSU.

I used to always think posts like this were trolls, but I’m starting to think the fan base is actually just that delusional.

“Throw the brinks truck”

“Make him say no”

“Fools gold”

This shite gets so old and embarrassing.

Man, I agree with the Wade assessment. Strongest part of your post. Wade is some shiny object, that at one point gave us solid memories. Trying to buy back old memories with a simple mid tier coach, is fools gold, all day.

These idiots think we are bashing Wade as a solid coach.

I pose them 1 question. If hes so fricking grand, and an undeniable talent, why is the best offer he had was NC State? A simple mid teir program. Let him be

Hey Covington, can you explain why he would be the best hire for our college basketball program? Just curious

It’ll be an empty Brinks truck. If you haven’t heard, we’re a football and baseball school and that’s where we’ve spent all our money.

Since Wade, LSU has neglected its basketball program. It's now a bottom-tier program in the SEC.

- LSU has shown that it doesn't prioritize basketball (football and, shockingly, baseball is more important)
- LSU has one of the worst arenas in the league
- LSU is in a football-first state (meaning, it doesn't have the best recruiting)
- LSU is highly turbulent and hasn't demonstrated consistent success since what...Dale Brown until the mid-90s?
- LSU isn't a "basketball-focused" SEC school (Kentucky, Arkansas, Florida, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, etc.)

It just isn't a great job. This isn't football where you have 10-20 great jobs...basketball has so many appealing and attractive jobs.

LSU needs to find a diamond in the rough.
