If you have the chance to snag Wade this year no way do you not take it.


If you don’t have the $, then you can’t make it happen

What if our target is still playing basketball, which is very likely at this point?

Another year of wait & see and then someone like Beard, Drew, or Wade might be more available next year



Beard has a base salary of 6 million dollars and a 4.5 million buyout if he leaves. McMahon's salary is less than 3 million. Does LSU have the boosters to foot that bill? Do you think LSU will pay his buyout, pay him what Ole Miss is paying him, plus buyout McMahon and his staff? Pipe dream.

Scott Drew has turned down Louisville and Kentucky in the past. Do you think he's gonna come to LSU? He's contracted to Baylor through the 2029 season with a 4.5 Mil buyout (I think), making 5.4 million. Pipe dream 2.0

Wade is the only one of those three who has any shot of being the next LSU coach, and I'm not really sure how realistic that is

LSU will need to take a shot at another up-and-comer from a mid-major or smaller school.

I figured that was the case but it doesn’t make sense why they don’t just do that now

I know NC state already hates us over Tommy Tanks


Why? White was leaving them anyway. He was going to FSU until Jay got him here.

so what? How does it hurt us if we fire CMM while a target coach is still playing?

Yeah I don't understand that argument at all. Who cares that your target is still coaching holding off firing a complete loser doesn't affect that at all

The longer they put it off the better chance he comes back which would be a disaster for LSU

Do it now

Wade's buyout goes down to $3M from $5M on April 1

All I will say is by April 15, Daddy will be home.

Maybe, but that’s not what he’s paid for

Wade is Mr. Big Talk. His results? Not so much.

Did Will Wade bang your wife or something? No other reason you'd have so much hatred for a coach who was actually doing well here

This would mean more if it wasn't coming from the person who doesn't want to invest in a sport where they have won 2 Championships in 3 years.

Busting out that old talking point. You’re consistent. I’ll give you that.

Also, if Wade’s results are lacking, then Jones’ are , well, you get the point…
