You don’t have to continue proving us right. You’ve long since done that

Fun fact he had the hottest start of any lsu coach ever in the history of lsu and basketball…


How tf you think he would have at least made the final four by now or soon, if you can guarantee a slot in the big dance then all you need is to get hot at the right time. He was 100% goi g to get that shot here at lsu till idiots in the fan base turned on him when msm started morning and groaning.

Dude won with damn near zero support we were the bad boys every game every year and I fricking loved it. We won despite all the dumb arse haters, should have road with him like most all of the other universities did with there tarnished coaches

McMahon isn't doing the job, and needs to move on, but he didn't get caught on a FBI wiretap bragging about cheating.

As for Wade....if he is so damn good, why has no one stolen him away from mcneese?


He's gone from Lake Chuck after this season if a top P5 job opens, he reportedly almost went to Bama last season but the Oats to Michigan move fell through and Bama signed him to a big extension

This is a guarantee. I know for a fact that Coach Wade has three solid option on the table right now, LSU being one of them assuming CMM gets fired( likely)...so this will be the final season at McNeese, and they will likely win a game or 2 in the tourney this year.

Watch the documentary “The Scheme”. Wade is a dumb arse that did not follow the rules of cheating the big boys know how to navigate.

He wasn't good at cheating or coaching.

Do you really understand the absurd and wholly improbable set of circumstances that led to all of this? This wasn't an NCAA triggered investigation aided by the FBI to root out "evil" cheating coaches. In fact, the start didn't even involve the NCAA or college basketball.

In short:

Pittsburgh financial advisor gets pinched for defrauding client (some of whom are professional athletes).

To save his arse, he tells the FBI he knows a guy (a runner) who had ties to college basketball recruiting and shoe company (Nike and Adidas) "bribery".

Being a much more newsworthy story, the DOJ decides to pursue it for the fame/notoriety. In doing so they squeeze the runner on charges.

The runner, to save himself, offers up college coaches he discusses players with and agrees to wear a wire.

Wade, and several others, are recorded. However, Wade, nor LSU is ever implicated in any criminal activity. In fact, the FBI and DOJ don't even give a shite about Wade's conversations because it's irrelevant to their case.

The runner's defense attorney leaks the Wade tape to yahoo to make the public argument that none of the schools were being bribed (the foundation of the DOJs case).

Yahoo publishes the story and tape, thus getting the NCAA involved where they otherwise weren't investigating LSU basketball.

Never before in the history of college sports had the FBI ever investigated recruiting. Thus, there was no reason ANY coach should have ever had reason to be concerned one of the dozens of "runners" he meets with about players on a yearly basis may not only be wearing a wire, but participating in a criminal investigation. That's like saying the people of Japan were dumb for not taking precautions to prepare for an atomic bomb.

If we're in the running, we'll face stiff competition from UVA (familiar with area since coached at VCU), Miami (Larranaga out), and now FSU (Hamilton retiring at end of season), if other programs are reportedly floating out there, feel free to share

Damn, learning this for the first time further illustrates how all this was a waste and how the powers that be destroyed LSU basketball for bread crumbs.

Mods, can a forum titled "All Things Will Wade" be started? People asking the same thing over and over is starting to clutter Tiger Rant.
