Ole Miss seems to be doing good why would Kiffin leave? Makes zero sense.

Most likely Will decides to parlay this into a big raise for himself with NC ST.


To not think his former president at Mcneese St and LSU NIL capital right now doesn't intrigue him is silly.

Wade is definitely interested.

Can the university handle WW and Lane both at LSU at he same time?! Having these two at the same time would be AMAZING Jay Johnson is like the calm one of the bunch if it we are considering them and KM Whole cult of personality
Jay Johnson
Kim Mulkey
Lane Kiffin
Will Wade

That’d be the best combined power 4 sports head coaches at any university. Who else could even have a claim?

Yeah well Ole Miss hasn’t won shite in football, NC State is fairly good basketball school. I mean I think LSU is as good as it gets but that’s the homer in me so trying to look at it without homer glasses on.

I assume JJ is not hated too much universally, but if we have Mulkey, Lane, and Wade on campus at the same time, holy shite at the hate we will have from the rest of the universe. And I am here for all of it

Is NC state really a fairly good basketball school? They aren’t historically that great, do they care about basketball, yes. However they are third fiddle at best in their own state. LSU pays more now and will in the future. If you can’t deliver on NIL promises you aren’t good enough in whatever sport it is.

Can you imagine the hate we would get from the national media? Dickie V, Forde, FineBUM, Reece Davis and crew all might have strokes and Im here for it!

Let the Purple Reign of the "evil empire" commence!

Verge would be on Darth Vader level hype!

Serious question for those who believe Wade is a lock to come back. What if he gets offered a better job than LSU?

Is Saban President at Bama? Some of you are mentally void with these analogies.

I think we can rule out the bluest bloods from wanting Wade. It’s hypocritical but they all hate Wade.

North Carolina, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas I’d say would never hire him. I think with the current land scape and what looks to be the future that LSU could fend off most schools.

People do forget that outside of Kentucky we were basically next in conference but now UF has 3 titles so they are clearly better. So maybe in sec you have Kentucky, Florida and arky that could be better. The big10 could be a threat but feel like their best teams have coaches that aren’t going anywhere

They're hoping and praying THE PERFECT FIT for LSU doesn't come back.

They want basketball kept down because they fantasize about college baseball getting that funding from LSU instead.

A sport mind you, that is LITERALLY IGNORED by 99% of college sports fans.

That isn’t happening. Basketball makes real money and players are elite much more NIL dependent. Baseball will be fine.

Will Wade turned around a struggling basketball program at LSU instantly. You can say, "well he cheated to do it." Ok cool.

Will Wade turned around an absolutely putrid basketball program at McNeese. You can say, "well he coached in a conference where everybody sucks." Ok cool.

Will Wade took over a dead in the water NC State program and turned them around immediately.

At this point if you can't comprehend that he is a phenomenal basketball coach, then there is zero hope for you.

I don't know if there's a chance - even a small one - but I do know - he's won wherever he's been and he'll win wherever he goes.
