I'm of a like mind with:
"Wade took a completely apathetic program and led them to their most consistent period of winning in 30 years." -Alt26
Arguing against that statement is folly - it is fact - and finding the kind of Coach to maintain and build on that base will be tough.
Even without SW's preference for "Big Game", the kind of guys being bandied about are Drew, Cronin, and other top of the line types that have proven they can do what WW did as far as developing a winning program.
Which leads me to the question: After a 3-5 year show cause - would we want to take WW back


You should take a deep breath, reread your post and ask yourself, “do I really want to make a complete arse of myself” before hitting submit.

ATL I agree with your entire post, but this last line is key. Relative to LSU Wade did a great job but it is not some omg, no way could anyone replicate that type of job. There are other coaches that can win here. Just because we can’t name them in a thread on a message board or if they are wildly rejected in here doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. Someone mentioned Az, they hired a career ADs from a non P5 program, I’m sure that would result in a meltdown over here but obviously he’s doing fine. I will trust the AD to find someone and hopefully put in the resources that Wade has been asking for and hopefully we can continue this course.

Has any head coach ever been recorded on an FBI wiretap and used his own checking account while also allowing himself to be directly blackmailed? I’ll hang up and listen.

Certainly not that I'm aware of. Are you saying that's what it will/should be?

Yeah cuz he was getting so close to final fours here with “his recruiting act.”

You SAF told me! Take that weak arse Troll crap back over to the SEC/MSB Boards where it might get some play, Lady.

Sadly no

Wade is going to end up out of CBB for a bit like Pearl. Then some program that likes winning or wants to win like a south Carolina or Mississippi state is going to get him and in 5 years he will be back to winning.

We will be like the Tenn fans wanting to dump our coach for him but the AD isn’t gonna give in.

We have had better 5 year stretches. What Wade did was go on the biggest and most reckless 5 year spending spree on players. He is lucky he lasted 5 years as the NCAA went through a really drawn out process.

As a result of his recklessness LSU will go through several years that will be worse than the Trent Johnson Era. And he may have drug down the football program with some sanctions as well.

In the end he caused far more damage than good. And he is not good enough of a coach to get hired by any decent program.

The program was in the best shape of the last 30 years.

I agree it won't be good but the portal is a factor now. Rebuild shouldn't be quite as painful.
I think FB is gonna pretty much walk because of a deal between old friends that was based on getting WW.

We'll see about the damage/good issue. I think there is an element of "Waking a Sleeping Giant" - showing that LSU can be a viable winning program - that might turn out to be an intangible plus.
C'mon, he's definitely a good enough coach to get hired on at any P5 school that wants him. Proven winner who will be in his early to mid 40's when he's eligible to coach again.
But we'll have to see.

Sure. On ONE occasion...nearly 40 years ago...in the 100+ year history of LSU basketball. Obviously any coach could replicate Wade's success...since so many have done it in the history of the program.

So basically LSU returns to where it was before Wade was hired. Apathetic and irrelevant. But hey, I know I'm not alone in saying I felt all warm and fuzzy sitting in a 3/4 empty PMAC knowing my school's HC was "clean" (here's a secret, Brady and Jones weren't) watching them fight to more last place finishes than NCAAT appearances prior to Wade's arrival.
