You’ve made that clear.

And I don’t know this for a fact, but my guess is the Wade firing happened above Woodward’s pay grade. He may have agreed with it, but I think Tate and the BOS wanted him gone. It’d be one thing to stick by him if he’d won some hardware like Self or Miller, but the juice of the constant blasting of him in the media by assholes (but big names in the sport) like Vitale, Forde, and Thamel, just wasn’t worth the PR squeeze. It was a bad look for the AD and the University that just wouldn’t go away.

Tate and the board didn’t make fat Scott hire the pile of shite he did.

They might have made him fire wade but he went and hired a shite coach.


Over and over LSU shows at the top levels we aren’t committed to winning all out. Bama and now UGA are committed to winning no matter what and how dirty it gets.

Did they make Scott fire Wade the way that he did?

This 100%. We all fell in love with his swagger and all that, but in reality he had some frankly terrible losses and somewhat underachieved with the talent he bough.... I mean brought in.

He wasn’t even 40 years old. Had been here for only 5 years. Made the tourney 4/5 times (would have the Covid year) and won the SEC. Yeah he underachieved. Dumb bitch

Another absolutely horrendous operations mistake by fat Scott. For being Mr money bags and spending all his time being a politician he makes so many operation and pr mistakes.

He let a retard reporter bait him into a stupid answer about the O protest shite, he had our basketball team find out their coach was fired through Twitter.

Overachieved every year he was at LSU and had the highest career win% in the tourney era at LSU. You guys invent these narratives out of thin air.

It’s incredible how low iq the Mcmen and Scotty boys are.

Wade like all other LSU coaches didn’t win a nc title but he has something that MM will never have which is a sec title.

I’d be surprised if MM can get to Wades high water win mark in his first 3 years maybe even 4.

They get all of their college bball info from this board. They don’t watch or follow basketball so they adopt false talking points from Wade haters and Woodpeckers.

McNeese is going to skull drag us for years until he is picked off by a bigger school. Thanks Scott
That remains to be seen. He may get some quality players but not what he was able to get at LSU. And he's not a great X's and O's guy anyhow.

Agreed, Scott has the biggest contract for tv money.

Kim was an easy hire anyone makes, BK as well especially with our money.

Scott gives worse contracts, and makes operation blunders. When we compare him to alleva he looks good.

The truth is LSU is always handicapped by our AD, and our board. All you have to do is look at the court name shite show.

Because of the players he bought out of his own account!

It's more about the Jimmie's and the Joe's than the X's and O's.

Well if he takes the McNeese job, then it's one of the rare times a message board argument will be easily settled in real time

McNeese hasn't had a winning season in 11 years. They have been objectionably horrible for most of that time. There's really 3 options here

1) Wade comes in and recruits a totally different class of talent, and they win
2) Wade comes in and with the same talent level, they win
3) Without upgrading talent, they lose at roughly the same rate they have been

1 or 2 would prove his cheerleaders correct, he's an elite recruiter and a good tactical coach. 3 would prove his detractors right, that he can't win without buying superior talent

Let the games begin

This gets said constantly...NEVER with an explanation as to how Wade was such a poor x's and o's coach.

Poor Mcmen, if wade sucks at x and o what does that make MM? He had a horrendous offense.
