His position is that he gets to define reality. He makes up standards that don’t reflect reality and attacks you for not adhering to his delusions. Again no group has ever done this before. It would be like a group defending Curley Hallman calling him very good and telling everyone to ignore all the facts and just agree. Btw Hallman’s SEC record was better than McMahon’s.
Oh, absolutely. I call out his 13 points and regular season as selective criteria to specifically benefit his argument and his response is that I’m a name calling twit that can’t dribble a basketball. I couldn’t even make that shite up if I tried.

I could understand if these guys were on the payroll or something, but instead they actually believe their delusional nonsense.

And what sucks is that I actually want to win - fan for 40+ years - but have to push against these ridiculous narratives that we shouldn’t believe what we’ve seen the last 3+ seasons. It’s all a mirage. McInsaneAsylum.

They anoint themselves stand ins for MM. they say stupid shite and when you debunk it they claim you do so because you personally dislike McMahon. It’s projection and insanity. The record is fact, pointing out why it is the way it is isn’t attacking anyone. I’m convinced these posters watch soap operas.

Check this out and note the mcmem responses. You’ll see identical comments to the current crop and contradictory comments about these players now.
Yeah, that’s hilarious. It’s been the same guys for years, it’s a whole bunch of I told ya so’s during the offseason to a whole bunch of excuses come late Jan, mid Feb.

I said before the season started, I hope he turns it around, but it would be turning it around, not finally getting some luck on our side.

I do like the biddy ball coach all excited and shite in April and embracing that 3-15 SEC record. Pretty cool that Sears won the Naismith.

My defense is based on the reality that LSU and Woodward were not funding the program equal to other schools in the SEC.


That was certainly the narrative at the end of the season last year ant they pushed it and sold it hard.

My push back on that was and is, that when you coach at this level, one of your main jobs HAS to be promoting your program, and helping to raise funding and particularly in regard to securing the best talent.

I don't think McMahon likes doing that or was doing much of and even after last year others had to step into the void there for him - I may be wrong but my perception is he wasn't knocking on doors or making may phone calls in that regard any more than he was before.

do you think we should keep McMahon if he makes the tournament or would you prefer not talking about that and instead insulting everyone?

if that job were offloaded somehow, and there was a salary cap or something similar where the coach was no longer a fundraising position, maybe the GM did that, would McMahon be a good coach in your opinion?

or do you think the most important task of a modern coach is fundraiser?

He isn't a good coach anyway. And the most important task isn't fundraising. It's being a good coach.

is he bad at Xs and Os?

some might argue he is bad at Jimmie and Joes but that is his fault for lack of fundraising. othes might argue the university failed to support him comparably to other SEC schools.

I am not sure what the problem is exactly but I do favor firing him if he doesn't make the tournament and supporting him until then and after if he makes it.

I've come to the opinion as to your question above - I do not believe so. I have long had issues with who plays when, why and how much under him as well as overall roster construction and most of all consistent lack of physical toughness. I like the man, good person. But that's not my top priority for a basketball coach.

No, but I do think it is AS important as anything else.

maybe.

for example I remember calls for more time for Corey chest. but he is a very limited player. and vyctorious miller. but I am not certain he was a good enough defender to justify playing time. I think this might also be the issue now with zipper. but I am not sure, I am not at practice.

one thing I cannot argue against is the results. lots of losing. lots and lots of losing.

but that he was underfunded doesn't seem impossible, I still think he might succeed. hope so, LSU basketball is my favorite sport.

You would draw that conclusion. It fits with the other delusional nonsense.

If you re-read the thread, the Sears signing was met with, who said CoachMc couldn’t recruit?!? That’s a told ya so, instead of simple optimism.

I’m all for true optimism, I was one of the last ones holding out hope for TJ and then holding out hope for Simmons season until we just mailed it in, then declined the NIT. CJJ’s last season was unnecessary, everyone knew it and you could hear a pin drop.

But there is a huge difference between optimism and blatantly ignoring reality. CoachMc’s tenure has been an unmitigated disaster to this point. That is reality. If you have optimism moving forward, fine. More power to you. Just don’t make up shite about the past and mask failure with things like LSU only lost 3 games between 13 and 17 points when the opponent scored over 80 and the under was covered. That’s a McPuffNstuff special. When people try to sell that fricking idiocy, yeah, you’re going to get backlash from people with eyes, common sense and not being housed in a looney bin.

Stupid mediocrity lover thinks “double digits” = 14+

For reference, in addition to those 6 losses of 14+ during only the regular season and excluding the sec tournament, lsu lost by 10-13 points, aka double digits, 7 other times last season.

If he makes the tourney he should get another year and quit lying about me insulting anyone. Calling someone who can’t name a single offense and doesn’t know anything about other basketball teams or our history a casual isn’t insulting anyone. Facts aren’t insults, prefacing every post you make with false allegations then painting yourself as some victim is passive aggressive and feminine. If you don’t want people to point that out stop doing it.

Just look at how critical they are of the players compared to the coach. Look at how they bash and judge successful coaches. It proves their disingenuousness. There’s no escape from their own comments.
