And even if he came back those same idiots would accuse every empty possession of being a product of “street ball” while yearning for the halcyon days of a Mc9 minute scoring drought.

Yep. And they would ridicule him it he “only” won 10 or 11 SEC games in year one…while spending 4 years making countless excuses for a guy who (likely) won’t win 20 SEC games…in FOUR YEARS!

As for the “he can’t win without cheating” crowd. In year one at McNeese he tied the NCAA record for the biggest single season turnaround from the prior year. In year 1 at NC State he’s on pace to have the best single season turnaround in that program’s history.

I can't accept thst douche's moral argument. And I'm gonna tell ya why:

I GUARANTEE you she FULLY ENJOYED that 2019 LSU football greatest team of all time. We all did.

But the payroll on that roster was as high as a cat's back, and no one bats an eye among our fan base. Where's the moral outrage there????

That's why I laugh at all these "he's a cheater" claims on Wade. Anyone who wins at a high % is a cheater, it's impossible to win big and run a clean program.

By the way, a lot of posters claim with NIL you don't cheat anymore, paying is legal now. To an extent that's correct. But does any LOGICAL person truly believe thst secret payments have magically disappeared now and aren't used AT ALL to sweeten the deal for these players and families???

As I've posted before and will stand by forever, the anti Wade brigade are:

1) either baseball bros SCARED TO DEATH (rightfully so) that a Wade return (or ANY coach hired as good or better than him) will bump down "muh baseball " a peg to third among the fan base.

2) basketball is a little too "dark" for them fans.

3) stupid.

4) any combination of the above.

Dude is a winner. Plain and simple. Would love Wade back of course. However I’ll take anyone else at this point.

Ya ever heard of the SEC, buttfluck???

Wade is EASILY in the top 20% of active D1 HC in college basketball, and probably higher than that.

You're a moron, so I'll explain to your simple arse what that means:

If you disagree, you would have to name me AT LEAST SIXTY active D1 HC that are better than Wade. I'll wait.

It’s not that he cheated ,it’s that he got caught on tape and embarrassed the university.EVERYBODY in major athletics cheated b4 nil but being stupid is what pissed people off. SW didn’t read the room as other programs did,Kansas etc. , and knew the NCAA was a joke and stood up to them and got a free pass.SW just used that as a excuse to get rid of a coach he didn’t want,again back to his micromanagement trying to make himself look good.The money guys will determine whether or not MM gets fired.

I would hope that decision has already been made. However at LSU, we don’t have a serious MBB program. We play for fun only.

Well he won the sec 20 percent of the time and made the ncaa at 80 percent of the time.

Wade is also only like 43 so while here he was younger and was clearly on an upward trajectory.

You can’t claim to be a fan and say dumb shite like he never won anything other than the southland when he took vcu to tournys and won the sec here.

If you don’t want him back that’s fine but no need to be a retard and miss obvious facts.

No Dorothy, I'm being conservative saying he's top 20%. He's probably in the top 10%.

Just look at what he's doing at ANOTHER school we're he takes over. NC state is poised to have the biggest one year turnaround in their HISTORY, just like Mcneese did.

He greatly improves any school he takes over EVERY SINGLE TIME.

But arctic assfluck says Wade hasn't done anything. Are you retarded???

Why do people just think he would automatically take a downgrade in jobs?

NC state is a very good program

Well not saying he would but nc state isn’t really an upgrade over us. Do they care about basketball more? On surface sure because they suck at football but NC state only has a fluke miracle title that separates them and LSU from the same level of basketball success.

1. We actually pay MM more than state is paying Wade. So we are invested more in our coaching staff than they are currently

2. NC state is third or fourth fiddle in their own state and more like 6th or 7th in their conference

3. Even if they throw unlimited money at this which they don’t have the best they can do is pass wake Forrest. They won’t pass Duke or UNC.

So we pay more, our NIL actually works, we are top dawg in our state and top 4 in our conference as far as history.

The president that gave him a shot again is here now.

Will he leave after just one year? Probably not but it’s not because nc state is some blue blood

And yes I know what he said in the media. Which is really meaningless since any coach with a brain wouldn’t say how much better a past job was than a current. 1 it’s his current spot 2. Kills all bargaining power to leave

I hate to shatter the illusion for some in this thread but every LSU basketball coach since Dale Brown has paid players.
