re: How is Wade any different than Orgeron

Some of yall really live in a fantasy world you don't understand the difference between LSU football and already national brand when Special Ed took over in one of the most talent rich states in the country with almost unlimited resources. While the basketball program Wade took over was a laughing stock couldn't make the Tournament with the #1 overall pick, in a state with very little HS basketball talent and doesn't have the financial backing of the university like other SEC schools. And Wade made the postseason every year including 4 straight tourney appearances something this school hasn't done since Dale Brown.

Wade was a phenomenal recruiter because the players he was getting to come to LSU there is no way LSU was out bidding other schools with the resources LSU provides for basketball. Our new coach is good but I feel like LSU won't provide him with the resources he needs to compete with other SEC schools with the built in disadvantages LSU has.

Yes the great and successful LSU basketball program lead by Trent Johnson and Johnny Jones. LSU is still in a better place after Wade then it ever was with Johnson and Jones. Wade showed that you can win at LSU on a consistent basis. A coach like McMahon wouldn't have taken the LSU job after the state Jones left it in. LOL in saying a dead LSU basketball program was ran into the ground.

Because of Matt McMahon, give him the credit. But the question had nothing to do with Johnson and Jones, it had to do with Wade and Orgeron. When Matt McMahon took over this program there were zero scholarship players back. You can't get closer to rock bottom than that.

and dead basketball program? Didn't LSU have the most SEC regular season wins in the three seasons prior to Wades firing? The program was anything but dead.
