re: Pour one out for our anti Will Wade eunuchs as their worst fear approaches

So when Wade doesn’t come back, are you going to run? Why do you think that Will Wade is the only person that can coach LSU? It’s obvious that you’ve got Wade vs the field for an opening that’s not even going to exist. Your cult like obsession with him is creepy as hell. So why is it Wade or bust?

Because they cant. The irrational hate towards a coach who wins consistently is really something to see. That coupled with inexplicable defense of the worst basketball coach in LSU history and one of the worst in SEC history is mind boggling.

I was unsure but am starting to think Wade may come back. Even anti Wade Guilbeau is alluding to it. Boy you think the melt is bad now, it will be nuclear when he’s announced. They were even melting about Wade in the baseball threads last night.

If Schroyer is really being hired in Verge’s old position, it’s just a matter of time. I think it’s possible Will would just not be willing to eject on NC State after 1 season. 3 of his 4 jobs he’s done 2 years at a place and then moved up. Sounds like LSU would rather get Will Wade right now or punt for 1 year, save $, and then do whatever it takes in 2027.

Big difference between the two situations. Kelly had already been fired and Kiffin had been publicly offered the job and said he was interested

---

Not really. In both situations, LSU has a target. That target is unavailable to be hired until a later date. As to Kiffin, the administration never wavered. You never heard other candidates being leaked as realistic candidates. They got a commitment behind the scenes and stuck with the reed fire storm.

This situation is only slightly different and that we can keep our coach until we make the move. By keeping our coach, we provide our target a little bit of cover.

If this is what is happening, our administration will have shown on two different occasions that it can establish a target, and go get that target.

Mind blowing. This is how amateur athletic departments operate.

I'm still willing to assume we have a commitment from him. Just like we did with Kiffin.

The RACE angle is a bit much Ryan C. Weak arse argument in this case.

You MUST know THAT basketball is NOT everyone’s GO-to sport. Apparently you can’t COPE with FACT that not everyone likes the sport. I wish LSU basketball was more successful but I REALIZE it’s not EVERYONE’s sport. Differences OF opinion can be accepted.

Hell, I'd take any of these coaches over Wade:

Mike White

Fran McCaffery

Steve Prohm

Jeff Capel

Kyle Neptune

Jerry Stackhouse

Juwan Howard

Kevin Keatts

There are very few coaches I would personally rank as being below Wade, maybe Damon Stoudamire..

---

Haha!!!

Outside of maybe Fran (who isn’t coming to LSU), which one has a better resume than Wade.

Most of these guys have been fired at least once based on performance.

Kevin Keatts

The guy he replaced and immediately out performed at NCST.

Jerry Stackhouse

If you think Stackhouse is better than Wade, there is no use continuing this discussion. Your hatred for him is insane. He’s clearly broken you. Stackhouse put up McMahon type numbers in the SEC.

He was 28-50. Hahahah!!!
