A great bold AD would see MM is blowing wind and fire him and mend the bridge with WW. If the boosters align and demand it Scott will probably do it.
I would rather an AD be steady and give a coach some time to sort things out rather than be knee-jerk reactionary to a bad season. I don’t think firing a coach after one season, with the NCAA stuff still unsettled, is a good choice. But that’s just me.

Does suck that will wade isn't around any longer. You do have to give mcmahon time to build a team.
The talent is just bad on this team.

No, you fire a coach that goes 2-16 for a proven winner at your program.
It’s a weird situation but it’s worth it

Yes, we have no other choice. But moving on involves tremendous pain, and unnecessary pain due to decisions coming out of the athletic department.

Isn't Louisville struggling this season. That would make sense as a spot for Wade.

That would be interesting with him growing up in that area as a Vandy fan who attended all the games.

CMM better up his recruiting game or he will not be able to get the basketball program out of the Woodward dumps. Basketball recruiting sucks right now and recruiting is a clear indication of where the program is headed. But sure give CMM time. He’s a nice guy and seems like a good coach. We have no other choice at the moment.

IMO. Ncaa stuff is settled by the end of this season or early this offseason.
McMahon gets next year.
If we look terrible in sec play and recruiting is in the shitter (like this year) I think he’s gone.
If we get close to .500 and recruiting is on the upswing then he gets another season

Right. When I say he was bad at it, he was insurmountably bad at it

Now that it's NCAA legal to purchase players, WW may no longer have a recruiting edge.

Wades teams weren’t coached very well and he paid for talent. He had talent. I’ve never understood the melt over losing him.
They all pay for talent (any team that is halfway decent anyway). He was just young and stupid with how he went about things (though clearly dedicated). Wade was immature at times, wasn't the best gameday coach and he is still learning as a coach, but he did put a consistent winner on the court and won the SEC in one of LSU's best regular seasons of all time.
Wade paid great attention to detail and tried to prepare his teams well before they faced off against an opponent, but where he needs to grow is with gametime adjustments when his plan going into games doesn't work like he plans.
There are better coaches out there, but he was passionate and did a good job overall at LSU with the product he put on the court. LSU fans appreciated that even with the shortcomings.

Exactly, Im sure Scott is good with words when talking to coaches but its not like he's going out and finding hidden gems. He's just hiring huge names with a shite ton of money.
I thought LSU didn't need hidden gems.
Are you saying doing that is a more efficient strategy than just paying for elite coaches?
And if anyone can do that, why doesn't every blue blood school do it all the time? Could it be that SW does more than just throw money at people? Things you'll never know about or could do if you were AD? Nah, couldn't be that.

If you think that the other teams recruiting those same guys weren’t offering the same or more you are an idiot.
In fact the guy that he is on tape talking about-balsa went to FSU and IF elsewhere he was talking about smart then the problem was that other teams were paying his handler not the family.
The problem the big guys like Cal and K etc had with wade was that he was cocky about it and didn’t “pay his dues” they right way.
We also missed out on a ton of big targets going after specific needs because of all this negative press.
All that to say though his recruiting skills are vastly overrated and his coaching skills vastly underrated.

Man your comments in this thread have been spot on. I took my son to his first game last year, he loved the General, Days, and the swagger that our team had. Wade had brought this program back from the dead years of Jones, Johnson, and the last few years of Brady. Wade had the vision, the charisma, the drive to get it done. His team was just a few players away from making serious noise this year. That recruiting class was all my son talked about, after a few games this year he barely watches 5 minutes and he’s done. I hope McMahon starts to get momentum soon because it’s not happening right now. It’s dead and it sucks. With him not receiving a show cause, this stings even worse. I would’ve rather dealt with a couple of years of sanctions with Wade as opposed to blowing it up and starting over again. This is unfair to McMahon as well as it makes his job to bring the fans back that much more difficult.

Money can be the great equalizer but don’t discount the fact that many kids want to run through brick walls for WW. Those kind of leadership qualities are God given gifts and are hard to find.

The sooner that people understand that this was never about basketball and Wade was collateral damage(of his own doing) on the road to protecting the football program, the better we'll all be. Woodward did it and he'd do it again and again and again. He's not paid to bring us a good basketball program. Sure it's nice but he's paid to bring an excellent product in football. He does that and keeps baseball towards the top then most of us are good. Basketball is just water cooler fodder. Some need to accept that.

Even with all the Forde, Vitale noise the last few years, Wade still had 5* talent coming. Show me another Coach that LSU has had that had that kind of swagger and persona.
