How does the LSU admin fire Will Wade and avoid the PR nightmare?

2Not only a PR nightmare due to their bungling of this entire situation since March 8th but also hurting the kids on the basketball team that are scheduled to play in the NCAA tournament.
I have a strong suspicion that is the conversation currently taking place in the halls of the Athletic Department.

I heard this same argument by Penn State apologists a few years ago with the Paterno/Sandusky nightmare. "Don't give us the death penalty, don't give us scholarship reductions, don't give us bowl bans... it'll only hurt the current kids on the team."
All true, but it can't be used as an excuse for a school/coach to escape punishment.

on 3/18/19 at 9:14 am to GumboPotThis Administration is a total Nightmare in PR.
All one has to do is go back a few seasons to see how this administration totally and completely bungled the firing of Les Miles. What a total PR nightmare that whole thing was.
The Administration leaks that they are going to fire Miles after the A&M game.
The National Media then starts a major love fest for Miles riling up the emotions of everyone.
The Administration bows down to the media love fest and firmly announces after the A&M game that Miles was their coach all along.
Miles starts a QB that was always a back up and LSU can't move the ball at all against Wisconsin and loses their opener. Then a few weeks later, scores what looks like a winning TD, only to lose, because the clock did indeed run out. Frantically, the Administration fires Miles.
During the A&M game on Thanksgiving Night, the Administration leaks that Tom Herman is the leading candidate to be the next Head Coach. They then bungle that up. Alleva announces "I am the Committee".
Saturday morning, they hire a DL coach that has served as interim coach, because he puts together a great Power Point presentation and Binder and can be had cheaply.
I mean......... You can't make this stuff up.

They only fire him if there’s cause.
quote:
Wade also can be fired for cause for “knowingly committing material or repeated significant violations of any provision of this agreement,” provided that those initial violations are not resolved within 10 days of Wade being notified of the violations.

on 3/18/19 at 9:15 am to GumboPotYou can't have a PR are nightmare when its only a couple of fans(big picture) that think it is unjustified.
If there's more bad convo by Wade on those tapes that's worse than what we already know about, then it'd be hard to keep Wade. If Wade does get fired though, the dislike for the Gov, BOS, F King & Alleva won't ever go away and the PMAC will go back to being a ghost town cuz our basketball team will be shitty again.

If I remember correctly it was Herman’s camp that released the information to force Texas’s hands.

I'm Loling at the absurdity of it all.
Thanks for putting that all together in a nice concise format.

on 3/18/19 at 9:21 am to Lester EarlThe outrage is isolated to a very small group that lives in a bubble. They are the same ones that always think the refs are cheating, that the SEC office schemes against us daily, and all the coaches need fired...except the one that may harm the University.
There will be no PR nightmare. Most sane people understand that the administration is not to blame here. If Wade is not on tape, none of this happens.

I am not sure they care about the PR nightmare from the fans vs the hammer the NCAA will bring down if they let him continue to coach. This tells me LSU is expecting a LoI from the NCAA in the near future and it's better to protect the program than be worried about PR.
Those words spoken by him were damning and until he meets and talks about what happened and give a reasonable explanation as to what went down, LSU has no choice.
You have to ignore what other University's were caught doing, this looks like LSU's version of the Ole Miss Hugh Freeze debacle.

The probability of the tapes recordings getting worse are lower if more taped recordings are leaked. Usually the leakers leak the worst content to the public, out of context for maximum affect unless you are Wikileaks and you have a treasure trove of top secret information and you are leaking toward a specified date, like election day for maximum affect. But that's not the case here.

on 3/18/19 at 9:25 am to VoodI just don’t understand the people that think Wade doesn’t deserve some blame for what is happening too. I mean he was dumb enough to talk on the phone with the guy. Wiretap or not that is college coaching 101. You have assistants handle the phone conversations.

He does deserve blame.
However he does not deserve the LSU admins public treatment of the way the situation was handled beginning March 8th.

on 3/18/19 at 9:30 am to GumboPotLet's get rid of Alleva first and let the interim AD make any decision involving Wade.
Joe has had plenty of chances and has bungled them all.

on 3/18/19 at 9:30 am to GumboPotOnce we get knocked out of the tournament, it will be interesting to see what the "leakers" do next. They won't get as much media splash by releasing stuff concerning a team which is no longer in the picture. Maybe more stuff about other teams will come out.
