Mcmen are habitual liars. It’s the only way they can justify the 17-55 record

How much of the 1.1 + mil are you coming up with each month.

The buyout is not $10 million.
If fired as of March 1st, he would have been owed $8.2 Million at most. That would need to be paid equally over 40 months, so roughly $200k per month, until he finds a new job that would offset it.

We all know thi. Football went through this last year. The difference is he care for each sport. The boosters dont want to fork up money for MBB, they flat out dont care about it.

It's $8M for McMahon and about $2M for the staff. This would be paid out monthly over the next 2-3 and the staff and McMahon have offset provisions. The reality is that most of the staff will accept jobs that will completely offset the buyout. David Patrick is the biggest buyout in the assistant ranks, and he would likely land a job pretty quick.
Jalen Courtney and Ronald Dupree are the other two. They could be retained in some capacity by the new coach as well.
It is misleading. It is being used by a small group of people who still don't like the fact that Woodward is gone to justify keeping McMahon, more importantly, to keep LSU from going after Wade.
If LSU hires the right coach, it is possible that the increase revenue over the next three years would pay a significant portion of these buyouts that are ultimately due (after the offsets).
Given the money we are leaving on the table in men's basketball, we really can't afford not to fire him.

Our increased revenue from the pmac no longer having to give away free tickets would offset the buyout but McMen and fat Scott fans are allergic to logic

This is true, but it will still be a lot to buy him out. The buyout will probably be over $7M, and then we still have to pay a new coach probably more than we're paying CMM, and possibly increase the NIL. A combination of things have led to poor results, not just coaching. Low NIL in previous years, injuries, learning curve to coach to compete in the SEC, some misses in the portal, some poor roster construction, and not retaining the best players. If we fire CMM, we will probably again lose our core players, and we'll have a lot less money to rebuild. Nobody likes the results we've had, but firing CMM this year will probably set us back next year. If CMM gets a talented roster next year that stays healthy, and again fails to produce, then it'll be much more affordable to fire him. CMM will also know that.

Absolutely wrong.
Let's assume we are in the same spot in a year's time and make the decision to fire him then. The difference in the decision is the 20% of the year's salary we would have to pay him to keep him that 1 year. Everything else is the same. We still would owe 80% of the subsequent years just as we would firing him now, and we would still have to give a new coach a contract just as we would now.
You can also throw in lost revenue from an apathetic fan base by keeping him around 1 more year.
The fact is it is cheaper to fire him this year rather than next bc of the full salary and low revenue from 1 more year.

Yes you are correct. But you fail to realize that lsu will lose 25 to 30 million dollars this year also. Firing McMahon and staff and hiring new staff will put lsu in a deeper hole.

Dude, it takes one year to turn things around in college basketball if you are a good coach.
Giving McMahon a fifth year is insanity. He should have been shitcanned after bottoming out in year 3. He followed that up by doing even worse.
