He was also a really good/square guy and was unlikely to cause compliance issues.
The main reason he was hired. Let’s not kid ourselves
No it's not, it's one reason. He was also considered a good candidate. It was seen as a strong hire by most people that follow college basketball.
It just didn't work out. That happens.
To Alt's point, the problem was we kept him too long.

Scott was an idiot thru and thru. If you gave me unlimited funding to hire coaches and guarantee foolish contracts, I could have done a better job.

He was responsible for one of the least winning seasons in Murray State’s history also.
He was a choir boy that wasn’t going to rock the boat after big, bad Wade. That was reason numero uno for him getting the gig.
His in game coaching was abysmal. I honestly have no idea how he became a Div I head coach. It is truly baffling.

There was a heavy clound hanging over basketball and the NCAA had a mjor agenda against LSU for not getting rid of Wade. I would have to believe that most coaches didn't want to come here under those circumstances. It was also very hard to recruit and MM was through 2 recruiting cycles before the NCAA finally cleared us. By then MM's fate was sealed and he really didn't have the personallity to create the kind of enthusiasm needed to get us back to where we want to be.

He signed a top 20 class immediately upon being hired. He had no idea how to develop talent, coach, or recruit for a specific system. All around just very bad.

McMahon’s high school recruiting wasn’t bad. In a different era maybe he would have been a bit more successful. His portal recruiting was scattergun and underwhelming. The “hits” on paper (Cook for example) didn’t really pan out. KJ was the only Murray guy who looked like he could play at this level.
Wade’s demanding nature (constantly asking for upgrades) and the way he pushed grey areas clashed with Woodward. He also wasn’t Woodward’s hire which ultimately played a big part.
But he’s back and prepeared to bring back the good days.
