A&M is hot garbage so there's a good shot we can win over there. But then Texas Tech comes to town a return to Tuscaloosa and Tennessee comes to down. That's three losses and with Wade's shrug of the shoulders after the Alabama game, these losses could be ugly blowouts,too.

LoL. Those two losses were shitty no doubt. But two bad losses against good and/or talented in cbb is not a death spiral.

Our fans struggle to accept how different cbb is from cfb.

I love how people will shite on Will Wade, there is a difference in fair criticism and shitting on someone. "Shrugging of shoulders" wtf is "criticism."

I'll continue to take my chances with 38 year old Will Wade who will continue to grow and learn. Still the winningest coach in LSU history since 1923.

It's not a death spiral, but Wade's chaos theory of basketball needs to be resynthesized

“Shrug of the shoulders”
- Wade took full responsibility for the loss

“Death spiral”
-We’re 10-4 overall 5-3 in conference. Take your hyperbolic and ignorant bandwagon bullshite and get lost. The basketball fans don’t melt like pussies when things get tough, we trust our guy.

We can decline that tourney berth if it looks like we are not going to make it

I look at the upcoming schedule as an opportunity to right the ship. But I'm a glass half full kinda guy.

Tn is not playing any better.
If Woodward plays that game, he is no better than Alieva.

I don't think so:

Merriam-Webster Definition of winningest:
- having achieved the most wins

Looks like Will Wade has a long way to go to achieve the title of Winningest Coach:

Will Wade - 67-32
Tony Benford - 3-2
Johnny Jones - 90-72
Trent Johnson - 67-64
Butch Pierre (int.) - 5-5
John Brady - 192-139
Dale Brown - 448-301
Press Maravich - 76-86
Frank Truitt - 6-20
Jay McCreary - 82-115
Harry Rabenhorst - 340-264

It's ok to admit that Wade is a serviceable coach and has the potential to be very good, but is not yet at that status. His worshipers need to stop inventing facts and stop blindly defending his shortcomings. Is he better than Jones and Johnson? Certainly. But that doesn't excuse his shortcomings as a coach. Don't take it personally when somebody criticizes Wade. He is entitled to the same protections and same criticism as Orgeron, Mainieri, Pelini, Fargas or anybody else. Nothing more. Nothing less. It's ok to admit he's not perfect.

He means win percentage which Wade has the best in LSU history by 10% both overall and in SEC play. But you’re right he made a terrible strategic mistake this season in changing defenses. Let’s just hope last week was a wake up call and he responds accordingly.

I do not think that anyone disagrees that Wade 100% needs to clean things up on defense, effort etc. If you cannot see that after the last two games, I don’t know what to tell you.

There have been many statements by people saying Wade should be fired and he sucks. That just shows people don’t know basketball. So many chicken littles on both sides of this debate.

This has got to be one of the wimpiest fan bases in history to call the last few games a death spiral! This thread is too weak to be called a "rant".
