but he took over a very successful mid major and he actually led them to the first losing season since 1986-1987 season. He had solid success as well, but that was fairly typical of Murray State.

So fricking what. He was very succesful there over a seven year period. If he was that bad he would have had multiple losing seasons and been fired. Some of you people love negative spin.

You conveniently left out that he was succeeded at Murray by the formerly very successful head coach that he ahd replace and the former successful coach was 45-52 and 20=31 MVC and was terminated. Sometimes second go rounds don't work as well as the first. Take heed.

I stated the fact that he had a losing season and a .500 season which is something none of the other previous coaches had done since 1987.

You cherry picked one season against six others to try to make a point. You conveniently left out that he was succeeded at Murray by the formerly very successful head coach that he had replaced and the former successful coach was 45-52 and 20=31 MVC and was terminated.

Are you just trying to skull frick every basketball recruiting thread?

Np. a-hole, I am making a salient point unlike your stupid arse irrelevant comments.

Its alsao interesting that some of you got the coach you wanted for over a year yet you still continue to talk about the coach who is no longer here. THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE SKULL frickING THE THREAD.
THIS IS WADE'S frickING TEAM REGARDLESS SO frickING FOCUS ON WHAT HE IS DOING.AND WHAT HE ACHIEVES GOING FORWARD. HE HAS EIGHT PLAYERS ON THE ROSTER , HALF OF WHOM HAVE THEIR ELIGIBILITY IN QUESTION.

Who couldn’t see a reply like this coming from tigersbb soon. Like clockwork.

You said McMahon's success was built on the prior coaches successes. So why wasn't it so easy for Prohm to keep the train rolling?

---

Again, that’s irrelevant to CoachMc’s tenure. My point clearly is that CoachMc didn’t build Murray State into a successful program. He maintained it with more lows than the last ~4 decades of head coaches. Prohm’s second stint failure has nothing to do with CoachMc easily getting a mid major next year due to all his past success at Murray State. He has a total of 5 seasons with a winning conference record in 11 seasons as a head coach. I’m not saying he won’t get another HC job, but you act like AD’s will be breaking his door down to hire him.

I replied to you talking about CoachMc and the skewed ridiculousness you always post about draconian sanctions, all the massive injuries, zero players, etc. I wouldn’t have said anything about CoachMc if you didn’t make your post about CoachMc.

Back to the actual topic, I don’t see anyone important really panicking, it all has to play out and there are multiple parties involved.

Interesting. I’ll stay tuned.

Hell, the marketplace kind of showed McMahon's value this past offseason when, for the first time that I can remember, a sitting HC was basically told to sit in the corner and wait while his current employer actively and not all that discretely worked to replace him.

---

No, this is a Louisiana thing where the governor inserts himself into coaching situations after placing his friends in as president and other key positions. I doubt seriously that you would even know if it had happened elsewhere.

While MCmahon "sat quietly in the corner" I am sure he was counting the millions of dollars in buyout he would receive if terminated. He is likely just taking the year off to relax after inheriting a moribund program under the cloud of NCAA investigations and an empty roster, then having his teams gutted by devestating injuries.

I don't think I would go that far. I wouldn't be surprised to see the general consensus be that his success was simply a byproduct of a great pre-NIL/transfer era Murray State program, not something he accomplished in large part on his own merit.

---

Only persons who want to demean him would think like this. It doesnt matter whatt the coaches before him accomplished he still had to recruit and coach his Murray teams and he did very well at that level. That is what an AD at a mid major would look at. No doubt a good agent wouid also discuss the hurdles that he dealt with at LSU with the NCAA investigation and the major injuries. Some of you look at this through your rnarrow lens to mock and demean the guy, but far less accomplished coaches have gotten hired even after having a non - successful stint at a unversity. In fact having teams play very competitive games against tournament teams even in a losing effort despite the smaller NIL budget and the major injuries may speak louder about his coaching than you think. Scoff if you will but that is more likely a consideration than the winning tradition he inheirted at Murray State .

I notice you didn't address my comments about the timeline in my earlier post. I assume you agreed, but would be interested in your view . While we may disagree I appreciate that you at least buttress your points and dont just throw out smarmy and pithy statements.
