re: The bizarre inconsistencies of the fans of WW's return

Here’s what I don’t get from some of you that are so against Wade.
Wade is the #1 coach that will guarantee the interest from fans and boosters get back to an acceptable level. I’m not saying that, that would not happen with someone else, but with an athletic department who needs a “sure thing” to reboot the program, he is who you go after.
Is he the #1 X’s and O’s guy in college? No. But, he is perfect for LSU and proved that he can come here and get teams into the postseason every year. I don’t know about you, but that’s all I want as an LSU fan/alum is to be in the dance consistently.

The Coach Orgeron argument "He's one of us."
I kind of wish he would get hired. It would be fun mocking his many failures.

Hmmmm, who could the "as JJ coaches do" even be referencing there beyond the baseball game Jay Johnson.
Jerry Jones?
Your schtick is quite old, just move back out to the O-T lounge and stop embarrassing yourself over here.

This right here is why everyone including national media are making fun of the Waders. There's more than two men's college basketball coaches on planet earth. You're setting yourself up to be disappointed in whoever the next coach is regardless of how good they are, if they aren't Wade. You're so emotionally invested in bringing that clown back, it's more than your actual fandom for LSU basketball.

He is very clearly not from Louisiana. I will not continue to go back and forth with you. You have made it very clear on a yearly basis that your IQ level is among the lowest on the board.

Maybe so but the little inside info we have says its either we get Wade or CMM runs it back. Boosterst aren't opening the check book for anyone else. So while other coaches may exist, they aren't in the running for this job.

There seems to be a relatively even split between LSU basketball fans here regarding the desirability and probability of Wade's return.
As a neutral observer and casual LSU basketball fan, this will be an interesting few weeks. No dog in the fight for me.
I just wonder if it's really a feasible to bring back a coach that left under less than auspicious circumstances.
On the other hand, Wade's return would definitely re-energize the progrum from a recruiting standpoint one would think and generate interest from the fanbase to attend more games. Plus it would be a huge story in the sports world given the history.

Its no relatively even split at all
It's a very vocal small minority which gets hammered (rightfully so) about Wade
Other sites have done polls on this and the split was more like 90/10 wanting Wade back.

I haven’t seen anyone pretending Wade is the only coach that can win or is the greatest coach of all time
What we do know
1. He’s won here
2. The fans love him so there’s immediate buy in at a time that’s very needed as McMahon has sucked the life out of it like the energy vampire in what we do in the shadows
3. As alt pointed out, once you clear out all the names that are actually attainable for LSU basketball in its current state, how many will legitimately have a better resume ? You can play Russian roulette again with the mid majors. For every Nate Oats there’s 3-4 more flops.
Wade isn’t perfect but he provides a lot of what LSU needs right now. frick off with your bullshite strawman argument Queen

Last thing I will add, which I know won't be well received, is that it appears from the outside looking in as a neutral observer with no dog in the fight that the folks who are adamant about bringing back Wade are so passionate about the cause because they feel scorned by the NCAA and the Athletic Department for the consequences and penalties imposed on Wade and the progrum.
If Wade returns, they can say in the end that Wade and LSU basketball won the proverbial day.

The Mcmen and the butt pirate ignore all of this.
LSU basketball isn’t the same level job as LSU football.
Once you look at who is attainable for us in our price range, Wade is the top or near especially because he won here.
They scream about post season but only Dale in his peak matched what Wade did from consistency

It's because Wade was a winner here, even despite being held back probably by all the FBI stuff during his tenure having to deal with that.
People like winners, and thats really the bottom line there. It's not about "winning" the stupid should he have gotten fired or not argument in the end, it's about bringing in a guy who previously revitalized the program, made basketball exciting here and had us in the NCAAT on a consistent basis. People like that, people dont like boring for basketball here, people dont like coaches who only win a little or not at all.
Wade is the closest thing to a sure fire home run hire we can have in basketball, because he already proved it here, and proved it at other places like McNeese who was a nobody in basketball as well. On top of that, we know he wont command crazy money to come here. He's making $2.65M plus some bonus at NC ST this year, its basically what he already made here many years ago. McMahon has a higher salary than Wade does. We arent going to drop $5M-$6M on a higher level proven coach, nor probably even $4M.

Like I said, no one understands you.
I am all on the Will Wade bandwagon and have always been on it. If for nothing else, just bring me the hate from the rest of the country. That will be better than what we've had. Posted on 3/18/26 at 10:25 am to thunderbird1100
I would respectfully suggest that your post and those links should demonstrate something to you that you are obviously missing.

ETA: Jrv2damac also made the same assumption in the post below. I suggest that 80% or more of those who want Wade to stay away from LSU don't support McMahon.
80% is rather high. Nor sure 80% of the fanbase can agree on anything other than the teams colors and mascot.

It’s nothing like that actually.
