What was Scott thinking with MM?

We were going into NIL world, basketball is the third sport at LSU. If LSU basketball is to go get talent it needs investment and that doesn’t just show up. MM didn’t have the ability to get out and get that money.
Insert Will Wade back and we have money flowing in because he goes out and earns it and now we are going to sign a trio of 5 star guys.
Hiring MM going into the NIL world was arky level AD dumb.

I think he was sacrificing basketball for the sake of football and baseball (mostly football).
He got rid of WW in the first place to keep the investigations away from football.
He chose a basketball coach with zero charisma and nothing to build with. It was clear basketball was just supposed to tread water for a bit.

He was thinking he could get a coach on the cheap that had been relatively successful at his other positions and he would blossom in to a rockstar. Remember the LSU job was not positioned to be a great gig at the time, coming off some hard times.

Will this lie never die?
“Hey there, I won’t keep sniffing around football and hammer your program if you just get rid of that annoying Will Wade, wink wink”
- said never by the NCAA

I agree we weren’t a great gig even on our best day, but our AD going cheap on a coach that had only won at a place that had a history of winning and was in no way built for the NIL world or being third tier and having to earn funds was a big mistake.
Out of touch AD that didn’t get what wins in the sec and where NIL was going.

That is not true. The the IARP did not operate like the NCAA infractions committee (who routinely holds one sport over a school’s head). As I’ve explained in great detail, the significant allegations against Wade were not supported by usable evidence under the NCAA bylaws (which the IARP actually followed). His sanctions largely came from process issues, not the allegations that he paid players. Go back and read the actual findings, not the allegations. Anybody with any experience in this process knew this from day 1. The NCAA made the allegations sound as bad as possible, giving Woody the ammo he needed to get rid of a coach he didn’t like. In the end, most of the allegations didn’t stand up.
Scott got rid of him because he didn’t like him. He hired a buttoned up stiff, because that’s his style. Let’s be honest, he really didn’t care if men’s basketball succeeded.

Woody didn’t like that Wade was hard to control because he could win. Scott didn’t want to rock the boat and have Kentucky and others get their media pals to write mean things about us.
Fat Scott clearly didn’t have LSUs best interest at heart and that’s more clear the further we move away. He cared about the media view of us.
Also true Scott never hired a good basketball coach anywhere. He ignored the only other sport that consistently creates a profit. Scott was a loser dinosaur that much like Hunter at arky didnt want to play in the real world.

MM was one of the biggest names in the coaching cycle

This, Kansas kept Self for as bad or worse, and Self was implicated in text messages making 6-figure offers so save me the, he didn't get caught himself making offers like WW did. Cause he did.
Now you can say he has won a national title and WW had not and that's why his admins stuck with him, but to your point yeah, Woody was looking for an exit strategy from jump to get rid of WW he had no intention of ever keeping him despite how overwhelmingly popular he was with the fan base.

I'd say Mulkey hired herself, she wanted to come here. That's my understanding anyway, am i wrong on that or did Scott go do a hard sell and talk her into coming here?

We are talking about major sports.
And Mulkey basically hired herself.

So Scott hired just off name no other work? That’s a problem that our AD didn’t understand how basketball worked here and hired a guy that was as boring as possible just off his name.
Scott didn’t understand how fit works but that is clear since he also brought in BK.
There really is no way someone that was once called the best AD in America could spin how he handled LSU athletics.

Mulkey was pissed at Baylor not spending money.
She wanted to be back in Louisiana.
Scott did make WBB good and got gymnastics over the hump. However, he didn’t keep LSU football at the top, he buried LSU basketball, and had to be saved from himself in baseball considering he wanted Sully and then a 100 year old coach, but to his credit he did listen to those that knew and hired JJ.

Fat Scott was trying to impress the decrepit old money Baton Rouge types in the circles he runs in by hiring “respectable” coaches at LSU. He is a coward and knows absolutely nothing about winning. He is a sycophant and a loser.
Posted on 11/11/26 at 7:13 am to Big4SALTbro
He was thinking that he had a distance LSU as much as possible from that fraud WW, so he hired MM, who didn't win a lot of games, but didn't invite unwanted attention either.
He protected the department from the cancer of WW.

I see that you immediately upvoted your own shitty post, lol

That’s pretty stupid thinking from our AD.
Perhaps he should have understood how NIL was clearly going to be, the fact money doesn’t show up for LSU basketball unless you have an engaging coach. Hiring a guy that played boring basketball, was a such a snoozer in press conferences we hid them from consumption best we could.
Perhaps we should have hired a coach that understood how to get funding and win in the way the world was going.
Thankfully Scott is gone and can’t harm us anymore and Wade is back getting 5 stars. I’ll take that 5 star cancer all day.
