What’s crazy is that McMahon makes more money than Hubert Davis at UNC, which is a blue blood. McMahon makes as much as Mark Few at Gonzaga.

Alt26 is my favorite basketball poster fwiw. He’s typically aemotional with his posting, which I find informative over a very large sample size. He’s possibly been snarkier lately with state of the program, which I believe is justified, but I likely share similar opinions.

The fact that this fricking clown who masquerades as LSU'S basketball coach makes more money than Few at Gonzaga is absolutely fricking bullshite! Mcloser could sniff Few's jock when it comes to coaching,recruiting,winning at the Division 1 college basketball level,that is just complete Horse Shite!

He wants NIL donations, that’s all the BS story about NIL was about.

If Scott doesn’t GAF about MBB, he should just fire Mc, hire some low level coach with a low paying contract, and divide the savings among football, baseball and WBB

I hope tPear calls Woofwurf’s bluff and stays in LC one more season.


I was thinking the same thing. What if a Power 4 program doesn’t come calling? What if only larger Mid Majors come his way? I could definitely see him staying where he’s at and holding out for a better opportunity

Exactly, this is insane. The program dropped to pulling in only 1.4mil last season. MM makes 2.7 so he’s draining the program in a big way. An NCAA tourney appearance pays out 2million per game, making the dance means everything. Now we’re being fed some BS about NIL, he can put up what he’s costing us. The average for P4 tourney teams is between 1.5 and 3 million in NIL per year, if he donated the 1.3 he’s costing us to the 1.5 we already spend it would put us in the top bracket in NIL. I know that isn’t going to happen but you can see how ridiculous the money situation and the NIL BS we’re being fed is.

Well, he could teach a master class at this point.

In his 3 year tenure LSU has:

(Excluding Texas and Oklahoma) The fewest SEC wins (14)…5 fewer than the next worst team. Hell, Missouri spotted him an entire season and STILL has 7 more wins.

The lowest (cumulative) KenPom rating in the SEC.

The only HC with a sub .500 overall record and sub .300 conference record.

But yeah, it’s just “bad luck”…over the course of nearly 100 games.


Well, when you put it that way...

At some point you just have to stop arguing with these folks. The sample size is large enough. He's not going to get it done. And as others have pointed out, not only is he not going to get it done, but it's only getting worse. But if he stays for 10 more years there will still be a portion of the fan base making excuses for him. I don't dislike the man at all, but he's clearly in over his head. It's kind of like that line in the movie. "I can't swim. I know I can't. So I stay my arse out of the pool."

Like it or not, LSU is giving him another outlier year like the first one. We just so happen to be in perhaps the deepest conference of all time, we lost a top 2 player, we missed our 3rd best player for half the year and we had one of our leading scorers from last year quit a week before the season started. Those are the facts. They figure we kept enough games close this year against some really good teams, and like it or not, he is a good recruiter, they figure NIL money can get us over the hump. Not sure why it's so difficult to comprehend.

You forgot to mention the Villanova offense he runs

4. How do you figure we buy out a 10 year contract, hire an "elite coach"(That most of you want), pay them, and hand out enough money to recruits to compete in the transfer portal?

Did you skip that chapter in your favorite book?

1. Team plays gritty
2. Has a nice Family
And for all the CBK bashers he’s won more SEC games than MM playing 3x less.

Don’t worry, none of this is his fault of course. Can’t expect the coach to be responsible for the way his team plays.

Annually or total contract?

ETA. Based on 2024 numbers, it is crazy but you are correct. Few is grossly underpaid.

He turned around a program in the worst conference in the country. McMahon also had this kind of success at the mid major level with 30 win seasons.

You also failed to mention the most teams the SEC sent to the NCAAT in his tenure was 8. Will Wade went 18-15, and they failed to make the tournament. This year they are projecting 12 teams.


Will Wade won the SEC in year 2 after a 2-16 season by his predecessor you babbling faggöt
