McMahon should get more time and he had to acquire almost the entire roster. Expecting him to acquire a really good roster under those circumstances in year one, especially with the unknown NCAA fallout, is unrealistic.
Again yall can stop with this bullshite excuse. Every other thread the same thing has been disproven. There are plenty of other teams across the country that went through the same if not more turnover and are putting together atleast halfway decent teams.

Ridiculous contract given to McMahon by Woodward.
Many on here praise Woodward; it's insane the contract he gave McMahon and now we are stuck with him for a long time. All Woodward does is throw insane money at various coaches. Look what he did to A&M with Jimbo. He may have lucked out with B Kelly and J Johnson, but so far, it's pretty clear he bombed completely with McMahon.

How is using context so hard for some people? The circumstance of LSU hiring McMahon is not like other situations. McMahon held pretty much all the contract negotiation leverage. Other schools wanted McMahon (I know hard to believe but it’s true). If LSU identified Matt as someone they thought could be a really good long term fit then it makes sense. In order for LSU to secure his signature against other teams interviewing him it was going to take security for McMahon with length and protection against his inability to recruit/compete with any level 1 sanctions and being able to keep his job through all those things. He tells Woodward what he wants and in this scenario, Woodward doesn’t really have a choice (if he thinks he is a good fit), given no proven coach at a sitting P5 school was going to take the job. Hard situation to be in if your SW.
Now, McMahon may not work out. You don’t hit on every hire but that’s a different conversation. The contract he got is what any coach was getting with the uncertainty.

Not in the top 50 nationally in recruiting. Even Johnny Jones did better than that!

I agree, but would add CKM to that mix, even though it's women's ball. I mean, she's what, 49-6 after taking over a team that finished next to last and averaged 53 points a game.
I can live with that, so I say Woodward has demonstrably gone 3 for 4 so far, and we'll have to see how things go with the men's team. I personally have faith in CMM to turn things around pretty quickly.

Matt McMahon's LSU MBB Contract
The 7/8 year thing had gone back and forth for a while.
I don't know if I'm going to be posting a lot or not at all. I just figured this was a decent place to post this.

See my signature line. Once you come to grips with what drives the traffic to this site, you'll feel better about this place.

You cry baby bunch of bitches need to settle down. He is here and he’s not leaving. I can’t imagine the stress some of you morons put on yourself over this. Relax!!! It just not that serious. And when he gets it turned around, stay the frick off of the bandwagon because you’re not real Tiger fans. You should truly be embarrassed by the sheer amount of threads crying over the same old bullshite. You make the situation much worse with your sky screaming. IT’S GOING TO BE OK! Now show us all how stupid you are and down vote away!

If it can be shown he has a meth habit, perhaps that would be cause.

And yes it is ultimately his fault because he is the person who assembled this roster and brought those players here.

That said, he is responsible for putting a roster together. So he deserves blame for the fact the season has turned into a disaster. Absolving him of any blame is ridiculous. He deserves most of the blame.

But we did get a 5* player and there are no sanctions.

Hey drizz...I have seen so much talk about CMM and his tenure length at LSU, I just thought some basics about his contract would be of interest to some on this board. The figures I posted are not exact, but they give all of us an idea of what it could cost LSU to fire him.
I really like WW and thought he was exactly what LSUMBB needed to right itself. But I am trying to support what CMM is doing but it is not easy.

No matter how I come across at times, I want Coach Mc to succeed. Was I a Will Wade fanboy? Of Course. Reasoning is NIT, NCAAT, NCAAT, NCAAT, NCAAT (minus Covid cancelled NCAAT).
This is what we wanted.
I say a lot about drive-by fans and if we're back there again, I'm going to be upset.

He going to turn it around with the number 51 class lol
You have to recruit to be decent in the sec.
Mm can’t recruit and he can’t coach. Woody got bent over the barrel and made a shite hire. At least he stopped the mean tweets.

How many times does it have to be stated on here he was doing EXACTLY what the A&M money guys wanted?

So when Enron was going the tubes, you idiots on here were probably still thinking they could hire away Exxon’s CEO.
