Let’s be honest. Wade didn’t come off very well

I’m as happy as anyone that this is (hopefully) Behind us now, but...

His hemming and hawing, can’t comment blah blah blah appearance did nothing to de-fang the skeptics or relieve supporters that he is clean in this whole deal.

Just an observation

The statements he made were correct and good. His demeanor, however, wasn’t. Face turned into a tomato and he couldn’t stop stuttering around.

Who gives a shite about anyone other than the NCAA? If they're not asking questions, Wade and LSU don't owe anything to anyone else.

I don’t care how he handles the media, as long as he’s our head coach. Nothing the media says means jack shite to me.

Well he could either lie then have to continue to explain it


Or he can just continue to brush it off until there is a paper trail.

All Wade has to do is not implicate himself. He's going to hem and haw.

It's the right thing to do.

Then why didn’t he just say that the taped conversation was misinterpreted

as long as he's in good standing with the NCAA and his employer why should anything else matter

Because it probably wasn’t and making any declarative statement of any kind could bite him in the arse later.

Because he doesn't have to. LSU and the NCAA were clearly satisfied with what he had to say behind closed doors.

They already believe that he’s guilty. Nothing he says will ever change that.....

Wade has always looked pissed when having to talk to the media....always looks ready to gtfo just like Saban. His demeanor really wasn’t different than I have seen it in the past....now everyone is watching and making their own opinions. They can all suck it

Probably not the best setting for an interview.
Something on LSU campus might have worked better with newcomers/players reporting for summer workouts.

Because it may not have been Its not what you do, it's what they can pin on you.

Anything he says at all could lead to something bad happening. He just engaged in standard coach speak. Nothing to worry about.

All to college athletic programs cheat at recruiting but "officially" everyone is supposed to pretend like they don't and get all indignant. Wade is just doing the same thing. If you want him to lie about it outright, you need to grow up.
