What Im saying is he’s a good coach that has had bad talent.


He gets to pick his players. He’s not an indentured servant forced to coach a team he has no say in building.

quote:

All the Wade vaginas are the ones that say McMahon sucks as a coach


I think it’s pretty universal most basketball, or even just sports fans in general, would have the opinion that a guy who has lost over half his games and has a less than .300 winning % vs major conference opponents over the course of 3 seasons “sucks. I think it would be much harder to find a significant number of people who would think otherwise.

quote:

But he did more with less against a better Auburn team than Wade did this year


LSU lost by 13, at home, in a game they trailed for ~35 minutes, and never got closer than with 6 points (briefly) in the second half.

quote:

He could have beaten AL on the road last year if they just shoot 20% from 3.


There are about 200,000 games in the history of college basketball that if the losing team could have just shot a little better they would have won. Maybe LSU should hang a banner celebrating the 3x moral victory championships

quote:

Wade had $10 mil to spend this year and has a POY candidate on his team. What did McMahon have last year.?



McNeese lost @ Alabama by the same margin as LSU (it’s unclear if the counted that as a moral victory). They also lost at Mississippi State by 3…the same MSU that beat LSU last year 2x…by an average of 20 points. They also beat a team that went 18-2 in the ACC. Then again, McNeese had that loaded, high priced roster. So I guess that was to be expected.

I hope LSU has a great season this year. I really do. Being a fan of a terrible basketball program is not that much fun. But to try to argue McMahon has been anything but bad at LSU defies all logic and rational thought.

Brady, Johnson and Jones have to be thinking “where were these delusionally optimistic fans with a bar for ‘success’ so low it might actually touch the ground when we were at LSU? We actually won a few games!

no he doesn't, he has a budget. you keep refusing to acknowledge that it is possible his budget was inferior. asked repeatedly how you know this, you have been unable to provide a convincing answer.

It’s like saying Hallman was better than Les Miles because he beat Bama with less talent once. Thats the logic being used here.

I supported Wade's firing.... we needed to do it to save our six with the NCAA and avoid the last bite from the NCAA before the last tooth fell off.

Now that the NCAA is a toothless and clawless tiger, I would not mind hiring him back.

Wade is gone, the only people who bring him up are the insecure mcmen. What’s pathetic is they try to diminish and dismiss the actual success LSU had while he was here. Hell they’ve even gone back and bashed some of Dale Brown’s best teams. One of em was shitting on Shaq last week. These people are clowns.

He never was that good. He will be canned within 3 years at NC State.

Will Wade is a better coach than McMahon. Until that stops being true or LSU gets a better coach than Wade, expect it to be continually brought up

But you continue to argue for Will Wade. It’s over move on. You spent way more time on all this post than some one hoping does better than Wade.
