How does this describe hiring a basketball coach?

The only bad publicity is NO publicity.

Now THIS is what I call extreme competitive journalism. Someone stayed up all night to concoct such rubbish-- just putting the words "winner" and "McMahon" in the same sentence invalidates pretty much everything else in this narrative.

Who still watches CNN

Anyone who flies. It's inescapable in big airports like IAH-- esp nowadays in a climate where you stand in line 5 1/2 hours to get security clearance

never spend one second watching or reading CNN. They lost all credibility as a news organization a long time ago.

Should’ve just said national media in general.

The only reason why it is a bad look is because of the timing of when these things took shape. That is a NCAA issue that forced the timing of LSU's hand

It was masterfully done and they just can’t stand it. We have broken the sports world.

There are unconfirmed rumors that Matt McMahon had been told privately over the weekend that he would not be retained. It wasn’t “messy” (CNN) or “clumsy” (ESPN). It just wasn’t public.

Embrace it. They don't talk about you if you're irrelevant.

This.

quote:

They say in the article that Schroyer is the AD and that isn't correct.

The author loses credibility by not checking facts. Schroyer was hired as deputy senior AD/executive director of external relations for the LSU System. He will oversee the men’s basketball program. We all know Verge has the title of AD.

quote:

Illinois's coach Brad Underwood left Oklahoma State after just one year. No one in the media bashed Illinois or Brad Underwood. OSU even got hit with sanctions after he left for recruiting violations. Not a peep from the national media.

More recently, Bryan Hodgson left Arkansas State after one season (2024-25) to coach at South Florida, where he left after one season (2025-26) to become the coach at Providence. You don’t hear anything about his consecutive one-and-one seasons.
Also, let’s not forget that NC State is playing the victim role even though its AD should’ve known to include an LSU clause in Wade’s contract. I mean, rumors of Wade’s return have been going on ever since he resurfaced at McNeese.

She conveniently forgot about LSU men’s basketball fans, whose numbers decreased as the losses increased. McMahon drained all of the energy out of the program.
