Trent Johnson won a regular-season SEC championship. Johnny Jones made an NCAA tournament. The answer to the OP is McMahon is the worst LSU basketball coach since at least the '60s.

He could easily be the worst in the history of the SEC

The last of the McWoodys. (Not really, but the last one that stinks)

He may be right up there with Hallman as the worst coach ever in any sport.

Hunh? JJ went 2-17 his last season in SEC play--the second worst LSU team in history, other than 1966-67.

1000% worst basketball coach we’ve ever had and right up there either worst coach ever in any sport. He needs to be fired tomorrow.

Look, it's been a long time ago since that, and to be fair to you, Johnson did nothing after that SEC title. So I can see your point.

I'm just so disgusted with McMahon that I just pounced. I'm sorry.

Yes. Not even close.

Trent Johnson looks like John Wooden in comparison.

Definitely the most dull

I honestly have watched such little basketball since he took over.

Just an uninspiring dullard….but that’s what fat Scott wanted so here we are. Another buyout we’ll have to eat due to that fat frick and his ego.

Based on the W-L record, he has the worst SEC record of anyone who has coached at least 2 seasons at LSU. Overall, he is better than Jay McCreary and Press Marovich. Probably because of his weak OOC games. If he loses out, He will only be better than McCreary. If he wins 4 more, he will stay right where he is overall.

People forget that Johnny Jones took over for Trent Johnson who absolutely destroyed the program and made it respectable again. Then Ben Simmons did his thing and Jones could not recover.

Jones SEC finishes:
2012-13 - 8th
2013-14 - 6th
2014-15 - 3rd
2015-16 - 3rd
2016-17 - 13th

Matt McMahon is Curley Hallman level bad.

Johnny Jones didn’t even finish last in the conference in his final year when we tanked. McMahon may do it twice. McMahon hasn’t even had a player that has made a G-League roster here.
