LOL!!

That was a great non-answer. What did you think he was going to say? Yep, I'm in talks with LSU.

He prefaced everything he said with LSU's job isn't open. He left the door wide-open.

If money was no object, I'd agree. There's just no logic in dumping a bunch of money in the program to change coaches if you're not going to fund it to win championships.

He clearly told Verge and Crew to wait until their season is over to fire MM so he can shut down speculation with that answer

Where does that say he isn’t leaving for LSU?

I've already met with our administration about next year and some of the changes that we need to make and some of the things that we need to do to put this program where it deserves long-term.

The issue that may deter him is that reportedly NC St admin did not live up to whatever they told him he'd have for NIL funds this season.

If he ends up staying at NC St, he and his agent will have wisely leveraged the LSU speculation into more NIL resources and a raise.

1.) LSU admin still has not gotten the money together to fire CMM unfortunately, that can change but at this point the boosters have been unwilling. We will see what Landry, Verge, Mallet, and Rousse can do.

My gut says he isn’t returning.


I cant imagine for the life of me why he would come back after getting the bone here on the prior go around.

As much as I hate to say it, this whole idea is a pipe dream. I thought I remember hearing that Wade’s wife is a North Carolina native too. That’s a strong headwind.

I want Wade’s return to happen for sure but I’d be very surprised if it actually did happen.


No reason why we can’t try for another hire though. Baffling.

Why would he come here? Why would he want to be associated with a fanbase that can’t even call him by his name? The idiots that refer to him as a fruit are disrespectful assholes

Because the people with bad blood who ran him off are gone, and some of the most powerful brass at LSU now are highly connected with him from McNeese.

What us normal folk feel when we see Jessica Alba or Sydney Sweeney is what The Pirate Queen feels when he sees Matt McMahon

I'm not really sure how he could say anything else since LSU doesn't even have an opening

I want Wade back more than anything but Woody not be able to swallow his pride last year cost us our chance to have him back at LSU.

Woody looks like he ate and swallowed everything around him but his pride was just too much.

The fact that Wade asked if the lsu job was open or not makes me feel more confident he may actually be interested in a return


He clearly asked a rhetorical question. He knew the job isn't open. But you decided to spin the words, the tone, and what seemed like obvious sarcasm to mean he was inquiring if the job was open.
