No, I'm a basketball fan too. Hence the frustration with watching the program being driven over the cliff.

Before he showed up LSU was ALREADY at the bottom of the cliff. Two NCAA tournament appearances in 9 years and they had just completed the the worst conference season since 09-10 where LSU also won just two SEC games all season.

If LSU is forced to completely "start over" (and I don't think they will) so what? It's not like this was a perennial NC contender who is risking being torn to the studs. Wade is the first coach in over 25 years that has at least given LSU a chance to CONSISTENTLY compete at a high level. Brady was a roller-coaster. Johnson (who was the "clean" recruiter you think every coach should be) was terrible outside the one year he had Brady's holdover talent. Jones (who, I promise you, played the recruiting game just like Wade) completely squandered all of his great talent
