I hope you realize Wade is great for LSU. Please stop posting.

Wade made a strong NIT team in first year with Jones leftovers.
Sampson
Mays
Waters
KBW
Rachal
Reath
Sims
That team was young but was pretty talented.

KVB wasn’t eligible to play that season and Wade didn’t inherit KVB, Waters, Rachel, Edwards or Onwuasor, he brought all those guys in.

Forgot KBW was ineligible. Agree about Sampson but hard to know how much of that was Sampson not buying in. Wish we would've kept Rachal and certainly wish Sims could've finished his career and was still doing his thing today.

Yea, Wade commented on Sampson and the defensive side a couple times but I question that reasoning because nobody really played great D on that team. May have been a personality clash or something but I don’t know how Sampson didn’t factor in more with that group. Rachel was also a head scratcher, I know he kept getting into trouble with team rules but that guy was a warrior who made a difference when he saw minutes and turned out to be a hell of a player at Tulsa. Kinda like with Cook and Bishop or the Reid/O’Neal situation, if there’s one big critique of Wade for me it’s personnel decisions and trusting guys with more minutes. Wade loves analytics and is obsessed with the NBA type game but his rotations are divorced from that style.

He consistently underachieves. Every year, no matter if we have mega talent, or zero talent.
Every year is a lot of years. He's only been here 5 of those "every year". Secondly, he's made the post season most of those 5 years. Seriously, shut up. Go watch corn hole or bowling. You might be wrapped a little too tight for college basketball.

Actually the data suggests the exact opposite of what the OP is saying.
-Year 1, he inherits a 10-21 team (2-16 SEC). He goes 18-15 and gets to the post season NIT.
-Year 2, we’re pre-season #23, picked 5th in the SEC. He wins the SEC, finishes the regular season ranked #9 and the team gets to the Sweet 16.
-Year 3, we’re pre-season #22, picked 3rd in the SEC. He finishes 2nd in the SEC but there’s no post season.
-Year 4, we’re unranked pre season and picked 5th in the SEC. He finishes 3rd in the SEC, loses by 1 to the 5th ranked team in the country in conf tourney title game and gets to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Objectively it looks like he’s overachieved every year so far.

If you think Will Wade under achieves and makes excuses when we are a consistent 20+ winner...you must have really hated the Dale Brown years since those were the biggest wastes of talent in LSU Sports.

If you truly care about LSU and are not simply venting, read Madking's post above and let us know if you disagree. From Madking:

No LSU coach until Wade has been able to provide a consistent winner in the one and done era. We will go to the tournament and should make it to the second round. If we are a 6 seed or an 11 seed, we'll might make it to the Sweet 16. If we draw another 8 seed, we'll probably lose to a 1 seed in the second round. That's how this season is going to end up. Given what we were looking at after last year losing our top 3 players to the NBA, that's a really good season. Now consider the players he is bringing in and what the roster will look like next year. It will be better and we are trending upwards.
I don't understand how people can seriously think we need to change coaches.

So you haven’t watched a Will Wade team before this year?

And we were picked 6th this year and we could finish right on that or basically right behind it looks like by a game or two, pending these final 2 games....and that's with some absolutely crippling injuries he dealt with to some of the best player son the team (Miller, Pinson) in a spot where we couldnt really lose much but did (ball handling guards). Wade has done a good job here, some just dont seem to see that. When you write it all out, it should show anyone he has us on the right track and is doing good things here. He is consistently winning and we havent had that since the late 80s/early 90s.

This is your stock dumbass response to anyone who calls you out on your stupidity.
At least come up with some new material.

Wade has his fan boys around here who’s only interest is in seeing to it that he gets good press and get an extension. They refuse to see anything other than the fact that lsu is better now than they were under the past 2 coaches. As if that is the objective…
Wade is a decent coach but he’s far from
Elite and frankly, I want an elite coach who can make this program perennial top 10 and championship contender.
Wade’s been here long enough to make this happen but he hasn’t been able to do it. He makes excuses…. Blamed referees and otherwise try’s to distract.
I’m fine if they want to hire a better coach.
Stuff like this just makes me laugh so hard. As if people are just stuck up Wade's arse pointing out we haven't been this consistently good since the late 80s/early 90s. that's just stuck up wade's arse though.
Your expectations are ridiculous. LSU is not some blue blood in basketball, we are enot Duke, Kentucky, Kansas. Maybe wade isn't a Top 10 coach in the game, who cares? We've been consistently very good since he got here after year 1 and in year 1 he even took over what was a 2-16 SEC team and made them competitive.
I really dont get why some people think because LSU isnt in the Final Four or Elite 8 we suck and should move on from the coach. Give it a little time, we've seen a lot of positive results so far.
It took Leonard Hamilton 7 years at FSU to make the NCAAT. He took over FSU who was faulty as a program not unlike Wade took over here. You're complaining about LSU being a tournament team basically the last 4 years including this one, we havent had this type of consistent success since the late 80s/early 90s as a program...that's how ridiculous you sound

I've tried to keep it professional but basically anyone who says we need a new bball coach is an enormous idiot who knows NOTHING about basketball. You can criticize him as no one is above criticism but replacing? Please. It's as stupid as Biden releasing oil from the emergency reserves to stick it to Putin while still paying Russia for oil. You can't fix stupid. You can only laugh at it.
