re: It is too much money to fire McMahon

Everyone down voting must be putting up the money to fund this. Because the boosters don’t care about basketball.
We will get the same check regardless. It’s tv revenue.
You will all still watch and go to games. No one cares about basketball really.
Pick the sports that actually matter. Football and baseball at lsu.

What is the point of this thread?
It's a troll post.
But it is also the latest stupid argument that is going to be presented in favor of keeping the unequivocally worst HC, in any sport, over the last several decades for another wasted year.
You will soon see dumb posts that LSU "can't afford" to pay MM's $6M buyout this year...without realizing that figure is spread out over 3 years, not a lump sum. You'll see post that LSU can't afford to buyout MM's staff too...without realizing that (1) two of the assistant coaches' contracts expire this season
At no point this century has LSU given a coach with such little (actually no) success so much leeway. Maybe even last century too. Yet, even though the OP is a troll, you are going to see people legitimately argue LSU should not only retain MM...but give him MORE money that could be used to fix the actual problem, a poor HC, rather than just make the change that has been necessary for 3 years.

Unfortunately I was at the game last night and hearing the same rumors . A ton of smoke that he really will get another year bc we can’t “ afford “ to fire him . As someone who hasn’t missed a game in years I will most likely give up my seats if he’s back again next year . Couldn’t believe what I was hearing

And now you have lsu media starting to drop articles about it

I actually think he’s done a pretty good job, given the circumstances. We are an NIT team for sure next year.

They are preparing everyone. They do get their talking points from lsu very often.

Are you really going to give up your seats for a few bad seasons… bro you made it though the Johnny jones era. It was just as bad and he was an a$$ hat.

Rumors of what? LSU won’t be bringing back a coach that’ll be 16-60 in the SEC.
The Governor wants Wade only, the boosters do not.

The jones era was no where near as bad as this. That point is almost as tetarded as the original post

His teams are costing the program more money than what his buyout is. Are you not paying attention? LSU is having to hold students hostage at the PMAC if they want to get a tshirt. Last night's game looked like maybe 10% capacity. This basketball program deserves so much better than this.

It's the same groupthink that has told you for 4 years that MM is a good "x's and o's" coach, and Wade just played "street ball". One of the downsides of LSU being inconsistent for the last 30 years or so is it has created a generation (or two) of an ignorant fanbase (relative to college basketball...not in general).
MM is getting paid for next season whether he coaches or not. So that means he either gets paid ~$3M to coach...or ~$2M to NOT coach. 2 of his assistants are on expiring contracts. That means whether he returns or not, LSU is going to have to either renew those contracts or hire new assistant coaches.
And it's not like the marketplace is going to stay stagnant to allow LSU to "ride out" this mistake in a cost-effective manner. The basketball coaching market it going to continue to inflate. The HC that might cost you $4M next season is going to cost $4.5M if you hire him the year after that. The NIL need for basketball is going to continue to inflate. This year's $7M roster will cost $9M next season, and so on. The cost for football is ALSO going to continue to inflate. The players are going to continue to get more expensive. Assistant coaches are going to get more expensive.
Unless the plan is to ride out this thing for another 3 years, which will correspondingly decrease customer (i.e. fan) support and interest to nothing, then there isn't much "savings", if any, by kicking the can down the road another year.

If that is at all true then don't invest a bit into basketball next year, because its been proven he wont win with it anyway. He needed more time, then he needed more money. Well he hasn't done shite with the money, so if he stays then the money doesn't come. Maybe we will get lucky and he will just find a new job since he knows the end is near, with no hope for much of a team next year.

No it's not. I think the McMahon contact is similar to Brian Kelly's in that there is no required lump sum; it just has to be paid out in monthly installments.
And as has been shown multiple times, based on LSU's SEC peers. The revenue boost from a winning program will more than compensate for any buyout.

Hell give him a stick with a nail in it and have him complete his contract picking up trash on campus.
Let Taz coach the team.

I did. The benefit wasn't worth the cost. More importantly the risk (of losing those seats) is low because new customers aren't flooding the market.

Only Jones' final season, when everyone knew he was a lame duck, was close to this bad. This is a (partial) shot of the crowd from Jones' 4th season. McMahon has NEVER had a hard sell out in 4 years at LSU.
This is a shot of the crowd on a night when there was an ice storm in BR and south Louisiana. Many roads we undriveable. Yet, this crowd is larger than any actual crowd MM has had all season...probably two seasons!

Every team has injuries...let's go back to "my dog ate my homework". LSU has NOT been unlucky with injuries. Everybody has them.
