They’re the same people who said “ Kiffin isn't coming”. My Father always said there’s a portion of the LSU’s fanbase that wants it to fail. That’s 100% true.

Really? Do you know what his tournament record was at LSU?

1-1 in games he coached.

3-2 in games where he was still the HC but suspended

Thrown in 1-1 in the NIT

Also throw in LSU's ONLY appearance in the SEC Tournament Championship game since 1993.

But your right, he just disappears in March.

When he was suspended Benford coached not Wade, and it was farther than when Wade has coached. NC State fell apart at the end of the year and his fans want to name him as the next coach at LSU, McMahon isn't the answer and it's Gyot Dayum sure isn't Will Wade.

It was also his best team, and they didn't have to play a 1 seed in the second round.

ETA - I guess every 8 or 9 seed that loses in the second round to a 1 seed is a failure...

Yeah. Who wants that guy that makes the NCAA tournament every year...

I'm not one of the Will Wade ride or dies, but I somewhat get it. He provided LSU with some of it's best teams in a while and had the fan base excited.

Pretty much this. For God's sake don't make us live through another season of McMahon.

In reference to Will Wade , the energy in the P Mac was great when he was here. My son and I went to about three games a year. The place was always rocking. Did we win a Natty, no but LSU Baskerball was exciting.
We have not gone to a single game since the coaching change(blunder).
Hopefully we can start the tradition again with some new blood and excitement to the program.PS we did not live in BR,we traveled a couple of hours each way to see the LSU tigers under the general.

Taking your Grandkids to the PMAC and letting them running around in the coliseum all the whilst being able to holler at them to come back to your seats from across the court & they hear you. If McCantWin is retained.

By this logic, we should bring back John Brady. Hell, at least he got us to the final four!

Brady was very inconsistent though and we did that in his 9th season. Wade is not the only option and a number of other coaches could win here like him and maybe greater, but he produced the most consistent winning product here since the early 90s for LSU basketball (about 30 years).

he couldn’t get past the second round.

I'd be more than ecstatic just to make the fricking tournament right now.
