Send them all to the Wall to join the Night's Watch.

The usurped King of Baton Rouge is about to board his dragon in Raleigh and claim his rightful spot on the Iron Throne in the PMAC.

I was fine with moving on from Mc, not fine with the Wade hire. Was good with anyone, but. Really hope he’s grown as a coach, but if the Texas game was any indicator, he hasn’t. He also couldn’t beat the good teams and coaches in the ACC, so not sure why people think he can in a tougher conference. With 12-15m he should have no excuse but to finish top 3 in the SEC next year with that kind of money.
man it must be really painful to be this stupid

What a load of crap

These people have been literally obsessing over a Wade reunion for over half a decade and finally got it. Any kind of logic or reasoning was tossed out the window a while ago. Let them have their moment, and when we start getting average/mediocre results with top tier money, refer back to this post.


They gave McMahon plenty of support to simply demonstrate that he could put together a competitive team. You have to earn the right to be given everything you want. McMahon is a nice guy, but he never demonstrated that investing in him further would be worth the gamble. Wade has won everywhere he has been. He's proven he can bring in talent, and do something with it. Some like to complain that he hasn't done enough in the tournament, but I don't see any hall of fame coaches beating down our door right now.

Furthermore, people need to look at Wade's tournament history in context. Most of those years were at small schools, where you don't have the talent to compete in the NCAA tournament, and just getting there is the goal. Still, he managed to take McNeese, of all teams, to a tournament win. At LSU, he was suspended when his team went to the sweet 16, and no one is going to tell me that we wouldn't have gotten there if he was coaching the team. He built that team into what it was, and that's why they got there. And then, he had just one year at NC State, and shouldn't have been expected to pull off anything extraordinary in that amount of time, when he's having to recruit against powerhouses in the same state. He took them to the dance, and that was an accomplishment. Something McMahon didn't do in 4 years here. I have no doubt Wade would have won big at NC State. But he's back here now, and I think he'll make basketball exciting again.

mp on board or go support some other losing program, because LSU is going to be a perennial NCAA tournament team now.


I wasn't a supporter of Wade when he was here last, and I can choose to not be now. I'm going to continue to root on the Tigers and hope for the best. I hope I'm wrong, but you'll definitely hear my criticism, and also me cheering him on if I'm wrong. He has some major coaching flaws. I don't think he's worth the money to just "make the tournament". We will see!

Never said he should've been retained.

With the money and NIL commitment Wade is getting, there would've been plenty in line.

I didn’t speak negatively of Wade. But I did say multiple times I didn’t think he would come back.

Wade is the only one who would get that commitment. It was contingent on one guy. It wasn't just a blanket commitment available for anyone.

Did you have to say it? You said they didn't give him the support he needed, and I'm refuting that claim.

No one was in line. The actual basketball blue bloods out there can offer all of that and more. Wade is getting more than McMahon for the reasons I previously stated. He's won here, and he liked it here. That's why he's back. If some hall of famer wanted this job, they would have reached out, and we'd have heard about it. Those guys are also getting old, and thus not great for building for the future. The younger guys who are having success are already at blue blood programs, themselves.

Getting Wade was always, in my opinion, the best case realistic option at this time.

He has no intelligent thoughts, just the occasional new and misspelled vulgar insult.

Hey bro, I respect you. Just your perspective on this has been wrong for a long time. I appreciate you taking care of the kids.


I was wrong about him coming back, and I hope I'm wrong about WW 2.0. I don't have a problem admitting when I'm wrong. I thought McMahon would have much more success here. He will be successful somewhere else.

I’m confused

You think McMahon will be successful elsewhere after the disaster he was here, but don’t think Wade will be successful here when he’s already been successful here?

Yes, context matters. Stay confused.

He is a troll, different than a McMan. His position is firmly planted in what will stir up traffic.

I never once said I wanted to keep him, only gave perspective as to why we might, and it’s well documented I was fine with him being fired.

You can strike my name from the list. I'm not a tMcMen, never have been. I thought McMahen needed go.

I was a MM supporter because 1 he was LSUs coach and 2 I wanted to give him a fair chance to succeed.Ifelt the negativity came way to early in his tenure for a lot of fans.Saying that they eventually turned out right and this past season proved it to me.Go WW and GEAUX TIGERS!!!
