I mean Moscona isn’t really making a prediction here. He is just saying there isn’t a consensus among the decision makers. Which is pretty clear from the post.

even that guy doesn't believe mcmahon is coming back. you don't make it back with this record.

This is so pathetic. Imagine waiting until LSU beats another garbage team in overtime to release a statement like that

Retaining McDeathPenalty would be an expensive mistake. Scary to think that OLOL is run by an incompetent CEO.

Cmon, you know exactly what he’s doing

If Rousse and Verge wants Wade, they are going to do everything they can to get him and tell McMahon to get f***ed. Regardless of what some clueless nerd from the Lake says about it.

And they will continue to be even if we fire MM. They're not pulling money over firing a coach that the fanbase is absolutely ready to move on from and have been for going on 2 seasons. He likes the current coach, he'll love the new coach.

How is it his fault that they finally opened the checkbook this year to get some decent players and two of the most important pieces got hurt before SEC play?
Just the unluckiest coach in the country huh? Poor guy.
Don't forget his recruiting + portal classes finished in the top 4 of the SEC 2 out of his first 3 seasons. Poor guy just needs more money.

Moscona has been beating this drum for weeks to keep McMahon. He had some national analyst a few days ago to say that firing McMahon this is firing him just because he had bad luck. Next, he's argued donor fatigue (interestingly enough when he interviewed Gordon this week, Gordon had a different take). It's obvious you still have some people that are pissed Scott got canned, and are going to continue to argue to keep MM.
Unless something drastic changes, my read on the situation is the people actually in charge have made the decision to move on after the season.

Moscona is just trying to stir up controversy. It’s rarely a unanimous decision on a board to fire a coach. No serious person could objectively watch the last 4 seasons and say he’s a good coach.

correct. this is all just stirring the pot until mcmahon gets fired. then everyoen will admit they knew it was coming.

I'm talking about this specific post. I haven't been keeping up with what Moscona has been saying about McMahon.

I'll admit you probably have a better read on the situation than I do considering I haven't really been keeping up with it. I'm just saying that this shows that we have someone who had at least some say (I have no clue how much) in the football coaching search publicly advocating for McMahon to be retained.

et for some reason, the LSU brass has major Stockholm Syndrome with this guy. I will never understand it
It really is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen as an LSU fan. No head coach in the last 50 years has been worse than McMahon (at least in the major sports). Yes, that includes Hallman who had a career SEC winning % TEN points higher than McMahon's.
For the last 50 years LSU has fired numerous coaches with significantly better records of success after significantly fewer years of failure.
Brady went to the Final Four and was fired 1.5 years later due to having similar results as McMahon has had in 3 of his 4 seasons at LSU. Johnny Jones had ONE awful season in 5 years. Yet, that one awful season was enough to prompt a change. Mike Archer finished No. 5 in the country in his first season as HC. Yet, all it took was 2 bad years for him to be fired. Same for Dinardo. He brought back the magic, but it wasn't enough to survive just two bad seasons. Even the greatest season in LSU football history wasn't enough to save Orgeron after 1.5 bad seasons. Paul Maineri played for a national championship in 2017. Three seasons later he was being pushed out for subpar results...despite making it to the "Sweet 16" of baseball in his final year. Smoke Laval went to 2 CWS and won nearly 60% of his SEC games. Wasn't good enough. Hell, just this school year Brian Kelly had 19 career SEC wins when he was fired mid-season, more than every school except Alabama and Geogia. Did not matter
Yet, somehow, a coach who has the fewest SEC wins in the conference during his 4 year tenure, has guided his team to being the ONLY school in the conference to not reach the NCAA Tournament in 4 seasons (and not even being in contention), has the lowest SEC winning % in the 100+ years of the program, and is the first HC to have a losing record overall in 50+ years, somehow seems to have not only an unlimited degree of grace from some with decision making authority, but actual support for him "being a good coach" despite no evidence of that whatsoever.

I don't understand how anyone can tell you to stick with the guy who has missed the NCAA tourney the last 4 years. It is baffling. How can someone say this is a safe bet? If they bring him back, the PMAC will be a ghost town.
E.J. Kuiper is this person's name. In my opinion, it may be tome for OLOL to start working to get a new president/CEO. It's already an embarrassing, piece of complete and total shite hospital system. Start cleaning house at the top.

Based on Gordon’s interview with Mascona, McMahon is done

There are only a select few that are still not happy with the decision to move on from Scott, and this is where they are seemingly taking their "stand."
There is no argument for keeping Matt. You actually cannot afford not to fire him at this point. If he comes back, ticket sales and what I'll call the non-guaranteed revenue categories will be terrible next year.
I actually think the majority of the board has made up their mind to move on. This is an attempt (along with Moscona rambling about donor fatigue) to create some controversy over what is a very non-controversial decision.

OLOL is set to be the naming sponsor of the planned new arena (if that ever actually gets built). Thus, the only logical conclusion to draw from this is that OLOL is trying to essentially force NO money to be spent on MBB program and direct whatever funds there are to the development of the arena. Basically saying, "we don't really give a damn if the basketball program goes 0-64 for the next two seasons. Just don't impede on the progress of the new arena. We'll fix the coach at a later date".
However, what they aren't taking into account is in the process they are dragging local and statewide appeal of the basketball program to decades high levels of apathy. The serious fans are turning away. The casual fans aren't even willing to spend the $4 for tickets to watch McMahon's program. The students are just showing up for free hats and leaving before the game even starts. NO ONE from outside the BR metro area is making an effort to come to a game. So by the time the shiny new arena opens with the name of a hospital system plastered on it (which is a different conversation as to how a hospital has millions lying around for such a frivolous expense of buying the naming rights to an arena that might be better spent providing healthcare to the community) the level of give a shite about the basketball program will be so low that no one even will care about the new arena outside of initial novelty.

This is quite literally the best way this has ever been put when it comes to McMahon.
