He has to find a way to get better players. This is a clear talent issue. And next year does not look great.

As I’ve said in other threads, Missouri has a new coach that reloaded his entire roster the same as lsu but with lower ranked small school players. They are in the hunt for the tournament. It can be done. It’s either bad coaching or player evaluations or both.

Anyone expecting that = and i say this with all due respect knowing this is a board full of LSU fanatics...was an idiot.

I certainly was not and I'm still disappointed in the product I've seen. I hope next year and beyond is much better and you can come back and call me an idiot. That would mean we are kicking arse and that would make me very happy.

Nobody expected that. We were predicted to finish 8th in the SEC and with a couple of teams being overrated those of us who were hopeful thought we could finish a little higher than expected. The hyperbole is a straw man cover tactic to misrepresent people’s expectations.

Yes it’s true but if you would’ve told me the Worst he could do is A, then he has exceeded those expectations.
Any and I mean ANY Coach in the entire country College or High School or Church League could have the same SEC record as MM, “ What’s our record Coach?”
Asst. replies “ 1-15 Coach”
HOW in the HELL did WE WIN that One!!”

Good luck with that. No one would help Wade so he was paying players out of his own pocket.

The “situation” was self-inflicted. No sanctions have been issued, no show cause has been issued. Until those things happen - this entire thing will have been self-inflicted.

MM appears to be over his head. He had middle of the road talent. He has better than average experience (6 players they have started and won NCAA tournament game). This team is not playing up to its current potential.

Why does that matter? If they are good enough to be on a team that won a tournament game, that’s a pretty quality transfer.

ETA. There are 5 players that have started NCAA tournament games and won (I miscounted): K. Williams, J. Hill, Miller, Hannibal, Wilkinson (out with injury now).

How many season tickets are you willing to buy to keep the program going the next several years? Given the product we’ve seen on the court this year, I certainly won’t be renewing my tickets.

Missouri, UGA, Creighton, Marquette, TCU, Iowa St., Utah, etc

All returned less than us and all are having better seasons. Tear down and rebuild is no longer an excuse in the NIL era.

WW finished 1st in the SEC in his second year and made it to the sweet 16. MM will get nowhere near that and you want to give him 3 years to build something.

So one coach brought his players from Cleveland State and the other brought his players from Murray State and the players from Cleveland St ended up being better but somehow that's MM fault. He brought what he could. They have played some of their best ball against Tenn, Mizzou and AL. We will see how that translates the rest of the season but anyone calling for his job right now is an idiot.

We've lost ten in a row, but the upcoming schedule is not as formidable. I can realistically see three or four wins in there.

This is the tiger rant you know. People come here to rant about the Tigers playing poorly among other things. If the coach is doing poorly, people rant about that.

So quit whining about people ranting about legitimate issues!!!!

MM is Johnny Jones coaching with Trent Johnson’s recruiting. We are in a real bad spot. I would think he’d have a ton of time to recruit with how unprepared the team looks night after night.

no one was expecting that. not a single person. people were expecting LSU to be somewhat competitive and not get blown out in every SEC game.
