Yeah and he’s talked about that since his first press conference. One of the things I love about him. He’s huge into analytics from everything on down to scheduling

So why don’t they all do it?


Who is “they” and what do they not do? The point is that when he was cheating Wade had a bigger budget than most schools. He might have even more money to spend now, but so does everyone else. He won’t have the illicit advantage he did before.

The frick he did. He spent his OWN money because if the lack of support. How many coaches did that?
EVERY SINGLE school that was winning anything was paying players. You’re either extremely naive or just don’t like Wade. There’s no other option

The thing about excuse making is it’s eternal. Nothing can stop it if they don’t want it to.

Let me help you out. Our best season under Wade was 2018/19 season with a 25-5 final record. He didn’t coach the postseason when the team made it to the sweet 16 bc he was suspended. Covid year lsu was 21-10. And lsu only finished the season ranked 1 time.

I don’t necessarily disagree with that, but there were fewer power conference schools with high caliber programs then than there are now, especially in the SEC. There’s a reason mid-majors aren’t faring as well now as they did then.

The other option is recognizing that the power conferences as a whole, and in particular the SEC, are stronger today than they were then because more schools have big budgets to pay players.

Also name the coaches that led 4 different programs to the NCAAT by age of 43


Coaches that take 2 teams to the NCAAT by that age don’t usually get fired and have to start all over at the bottom. He is a good coach and certainly better than McMahon, but you’re making too much out of an anomaly that was at least partially a result of his own recklessness.

So right, I would like to know by week 6 of SEC play We are not already out of contention. I would like to show excitement, energy, and hope for the only other money making sport in college. I would hope and almost guarantee that Frank Williams Wade will win more than 22.3% of his SEC games.
I’m not saying WW is elite but compared to McGone he is John Wooden. Watch and see ticket sales right at the gate go through the roof.
He is the only hire for LSU at this moment that can do this. Are you not excited that the fans are ecstatic for this change.
Lastly after the last 4 years what Elite coach would take this job period. McGone was an absolute failure, numbers, facts, and product in the court don’t lie.

He literally made the tourney twice at mcneese even winning a game. What illicit advantage did he have while he was there?

A- None of that connects to the post I was addressing which was about your allegation that Wade previously having more money than everyone at LSU and B- NIL reports drastically vary depending on the report because NIL isn’t disclosed to the public. LSU was just sued over this fact. There have been reports posted multiple times here that LSU spent 10 mil on NIL this year and reports that’s DJ Thomas ($2 mil) was given more money than Cam Boozer ($1.5 mil).

You think he was competing against schools with big budgets in the Southland?

He beat Clemson and Michigan, programs that are multiple levels better than Mcneese

I wasn’t suggesting that LSU won’t spend as much as many of the teams on that list. My point is that they won’t spend more than the top teams in the conference. Wade had an advantage over most of the conference the first time around. There’s a reason the conference as a whole sucked back then.

These arguments are all made for the same reason. These posters don’t know anything about basketball so they don’t know what good basketball looks like. Thats why they couldn’t understand how McMahon lost so much or why Wade wins so much. They resort to theories and make believe about peripheral things because they don’t understand what’s happening between the lines.

No you said that in his previous stint here he had more money than everybody and no the conference didn’t suck then. These are a lot of unsubstantiated talking points you use and you haven’t supported any of them.
