re: Could this have blown up in Woodwards face any more

100% agree, you can find another guy to win here but the method we’ve used since Dale retired isn’t a good one. Thats what needs to change.

But, I wonder what would have happened if they had stretched the process out until after NIL started

I think that is what some of the other programs did but they were not in the Title IX debacle LSU was. LSU was facing “Loss of Institutional Control” level stuff and just needed some problems to go away.

My only problem with that is it hasn’t been proven, unless you just take the word of the administration, that LSU hasn’t been spending the money needed to be successful. And increasing it this year is just pissing money away and possibly alienating your boosters that put up their money for another subpar product

Some of it may just be PR and perception going into the possibility of a new hire after next season. The administration certainly doesn’t need the market perception to be that they won’t dedicated the same resources to NIL that other programs in the conference are.

We probably both group each other with certain types that we don’t necessarily fall into. I understand why he was fired, mostly I just disagree with certain posters characterization of his coaching ability and our success while he was here. If you go back to when Wade was fired my reaction was “ok let’s hire someone good to replace him and my reaction to hiring McMahon was simply “frick” because I’d seen his teams play, mostly to watch Morant and I knew where he comes from which was a failed Tennessee coach prior to Pearls tenure there.

Do you think he wanted to fire him?

The idea that Woodward struck a secret deal with the NCAA when most ADs had realized that the NCAA is feckless, is not the suave move people think it is.

I guess because Wade is having success at Mcneese and McMahon has had a disastrous year at LSU that some believe Wade is the answer. And others will see it this way as well including NC State possibly. Statistically, if both teams were playing in the SEC or there same opponents this would be true but that’s not the case.but this rational should help Wade obtain a better job than Mcneese st. Wade seemed to be a better recruiter while at LSU but wasn’t his recruiting what got him in trouble to begin with? I recall many here claiming Wade wasn’t very good at X s and O s. Some act as if this guy was a national championship caliber coach. He is not. He may be better than Mcneese but isn’t LSU material. LSU hires coaches that win National Championships.In football baseball gymnastics track and field women’s basketball and sooner rather than later men’s basketball. It’s coming and it ain’t Wade.

Nobody cares
It’s basketball
