Heiar could have left because over time he and Wade just didn’t see eye to eye anymore. That shite definitely happens.


East Tennessee State, bro. That isn’t even a lateral move. It’s a program that is relevant every 5 years, in the sense of mid majors. They are a 3rd or 4th tier mid-major program.

Heiar’s last 10 years have been spent at Wichita St & LSU.

The move there makes no sense.


All that said, it was weird Wade promoted from within, too. Why wasn’t there an effort to replace Heiar with someone just as revered? Or even 3rd in command if you think Armstrong is fine as your lead assistant. It’s either lazy or something is brewing in my opinion.

Is it hard to just pass over it & continue to let the adults talk?

I don’t understand how a grown man wants to publicly admit that someone on a message board upsets them. I’m asking you to please don’t submit to me. It’s a bad look for you. Just keep scrolling.

You and your vacuums

Tbh the reason I haven’t been in a lot of cisse threads the last few months is I’ve felt for a while that Memphis had the best overall chance. If anything I’d say we did good to get this close. Dick def needs to shut the frick up but I don’t think potential ncaa issues had as big an effect as him being in a comfort zone there especially with all of the uncertainty surrounding ncaa sports at this time. Still hopeful we have a chance but kinda been expecting this news.

The reasoning was just so vague. Embody reports he is looking to get out from under the black cloud here. Will Wade never really addresses it. That’s weird. Heiar was out before he had another job lined up. That’s weird.

And Your best assistant slips off into the night. Then no coaching search follows to replace him. 2 in house promotions up the chain? That’s weird to me too


Cisse, all set to commit to LSU by all accounts. Suddenly uses the protest to back out. That was weird.

If he’s comfortable at Memphis, understandable. But I feel like this has been drawn out too long for that. If you are comfortable there, then you’re comfortable there. End it, ya know

Heiar told folks he wasn't going to be back before the season ever started, it's why they didnt renew his contract despite it expiring this year. He was out regardless of the result. This is why they picked up Nickelberry last year as his replacement, there was no "Search" because it had already taken place last year when Heair said this was his last season, they picked up Nickelberry when he became available from leaving Howard. He spent a year as an "Analyst" or whatever you want to call it knowing he would be an assistant the next year replacing Heiar.

Heiar was only going to be here a few years max because he's been wanting to be a head coach in D1 for a long time now. If he didn't get after this season he was out because he felt the looming fbi stuff was hurting his chances if he couldnt get one after 3 seasons here.

You can only move where the openings are and it's late in the season for a change. Heiar will be fine. He could go to ETSU for a year and move on to a big program again. He knows that.

But if he and Wade had a falling out he may not have cared where he went. That's not a stretch by any means.

Cisse is a 1 and done anyway
Why would he care about sanctions?

Heiar has been under wade this whole time and wasn't getting looks. Maybe it was late in the cycle l, so he had to take ets. I know he is friends with the head coach there. It just seems like a last minute, pit stop to me

You're right, it's irrelevant to him. However, who knows who is convincing him what right now. Memphis is in desperation mode because they did not put together much of a recruiting class (landed just 1 JUCO kid, no high schoolers) and had to take a few transfers instead, of which they both have to sit out right now and couldnt even play with Cisse. Maybe Cisse thinks he can be a standout star on that team (which he would almost have to be for them to probably make the tournament with what they lost), but who knows he's being pulled in a lot of different directions right now for sure.

Penny didn't put things in great shape though for next season at Memphis, that's for sure.

Right, but if we are citing Emboy intel, and im not going to copy him word for word, but basically it's because of the Strong arse Offer stuff. Public perception of what is going on at lsu is one thing. But actively knowing what is going on, like i assume a top assistant would is another. And acting on that says even more to me.


Attempting to advance you career like taking a job 10 notches down from your current one leaves more to the story. Dude could not wait to get out of here, and it silly to think that ETSU gives him a better shot at becoming a HC.


How does that make anyone feel good about the situation? IDK.

In the long run he will land on his feet, i am sure.


But if he thinks his image has taken a hit while at LSU, then I dont know how resume' regression is the answer, right? Even for a year. It is just not something you ever really see in the coaching profession.


Anything, this isnt so much about his prospects. It's about why he wanted out so so desperately.

The LSU basketball brand is tainted. That doesn't mean a NOA is necessarily coming either. (and DickieV may be right that it will - who knows?)

But the brand being tainted may have been enough for him wanting to leave. An AD is much more likely to hire an assistant from ETSU right now, than from LSU.

I don't think any of this has anything to do with Cisse (trying to stay on topic) ... i think Cisse is negotiating.

See, I dont think it is.

They are landing top classes.

Everyone cheats, they say.

CBB is winning over anything. Second chances are big. Heiar hasn't even done anything wrong.

Seems more personal to me but who the hell knows.

Benford found a spot at TCU last year, and Merrit landed an upward gig at a Mid major (forget the school) from the job he had here at LSU.

People actually think an African-American teenager in Memphis pays attention to a tweet by a 1,000-year-old white man in Florida and based a life decision of off what said white man thinks?
