The more LSU MBB loses, the more the goal posts shift.

The butt Pirate is just a blithering idiot.

That was true through last season and at least the team was trending up. It is not true anymore and the team is trending down.

and now rests at we can't afford to fire him.

That is utter nonsense. The fact that most people saying this seem to think we would have to come up with a lump sum tells you all you need to know. LSU can afford to pay McMahon's contract and pay a new coach, particularly if McMahon gets another job (which he will) and offsets part of the payments.

Do people read their own posts? Just shift position or just name call. Lol.

A lot of people on here want to be right or argue so they stake out indefensible positions. It is both mind-boggling and disappointing. And don't forget trolls.

I'm upset we're 1-7 SEC and just got blown out at home.

Anyone who isn't is either in denial as a coping mechanism or just not much of a basketball fan. I could have taken a close loss but this was just awful.

You know me pretty well, Drizz, I'm an optimistic person by nature. I don't have much optimism left about where this program is headed under Coach McMahon.

And yet I will still watch the entire next game.

Always.

I need your optimism. You're not blind nor disingenuous. That's why I appreciate you so much.

We'll watch the games, we don't give up, but - if you see and admit it - everyone else needs to see as well.

McMahon is nothing more than a McValue menu coach.

I honest to god feel sorry for your family. I doubt that you are married, you are far too emotionally unstable. But, I'm sure that you have parents, and if not, brothers and sisters. I'm also sure that they know how you are.

Dude, we all know that the program is not doing well, at all. We realize something will happen, probably sooner rather than later. Your sky screaming starting multiple threads, then lying about people shifting positions. What you really mean as that normal, intelligent, balanced posters, while not liking the direction of the program, also are not on here creating multiple threads an hour sky screaming and having to be talked off the edge. Most rational people will voice their opinion, and move on, knowing and expecting that changes will be made. Your emotional outbursts aren't going to change anything any sooner. Take a break sport, for your own mental health.

This comes across as exactly what you are trying to say about Drizz. I guess he hit a little close to home for you?

But while the buyout isn’t chump change, it’s not some massive number relative to ~$70M for Kelly, or even $16M for O.

This ain't football, and you know it. Calling it the second most profitable business is like putting me, shaq, and 3 midgets in a room, and asking who the second best basketball player is. 1st and 2nd ain't close.

I'm all for change, especially if someone ponies up. What I don't want is for LSU to have take money away from the football program. Hell, spend the money on some great players for a year, it'll be far cheaper and could help build momentum. Watching that team yesterday, Texas was SO much more talented. Our guards are not SEC level guards, at all...and that in a nut shell is the difference. While we miss Reed, we have some physical players under the goal that can get the job done. What we can't overcome is our guard play, and that is on MM. If we just had an elite PG I believe you would see a huge difference in this team. We can't even dribble in traffic without getting the ball knocked away routinely.

I believe he will a.) be gone after this year, or b.) we will make a huge splash in the portal for some top tier guards....but, there is always c.) continue down same road another year.

hen the rest of the game they could not miss. Some of it was great play and execution and some of it was us with live ball turnovers and poor defense but geez they must have shot 70% in the second half? and of course our offense looked lost and void of any sense of purpose,.

---

Our offense IS lost, because we do not have SEC level guards. Not even close. Yes, they can score a little, but when they do it is much more of a "me, me, me" aspect than distribution of the ball for good shots. These guards may be the worst passing and dribble guards we have ever had. As for Texas getting hot...they got confident because they knew the team on the other side wasn't going to beat them last night. I saw the same when Ark went to KY. They couldn't miss, shot like 70% in second half and over 50% from 3 for the game I believe. It happens sometimes. But, this team is just not talented enough, or even close, and that is on MM, or lack of NIL money. IDK.

Football is not what is keeping basketball from being good, it is Matt McMahon and Scott Woodward.

Sure, basketball doesn't have the financial potential that football has, but it is the only other sport with any potential to be profitable. There is plenty of room for both programs to thrive if they weren't being run so poorly.
