The ignorance of what Will Wade was actually accused of and what he actually did wrong is mind boggling.

The mistake was kicking Wade to the curb while other programs stood behind their coaches regardless of the sanctions held over their head. See Pearl and Self.
The other programs didn’t have their bread and butter football programs with an albatross around their necks. OLOTL, Les Miles, sexual allegations rampant amongst others. They cleaned house and BK was instructed to do the same with the entire staff and building. LSU’s situation was nothing like the others. Picking and choosing to remember certain parts of things to continue to be a female bitch on their board is what these fem boys are to their core.

The mistake was giving him so much guaranteed in his contact.
His buyout is only 80% of his remaining contract. That comes to ~9 million if he's fired after this year. in the SEC, only Lamont Paris at USC is paid less than he is. Paris is also the only coach in the league with a lower buyout. I think the mistake is they took a gamble with a bargain bin coach and got bargain bin results.

It was recorded.

I’m listening.
ETA: I wasn’t trying to single you out Sammy. I don’t have any ill will. It’s just the generalities of caught on tape and wife’s checking account that are often repeated, but aren’t within factual context. It gets annoying.

Paris got an extension and raise after last season. He's ahead of McMahon. I think maybe only Vanderbilt's new HC is paid lower (annually) than McMahon.
The contract shouldn't be a big barrier to making a change if necessary.

He was on the wiretap. He was a face of the scandal in a way that wasn’t true of Self or Pearl.

Buddy, he was paying blackmail because she was threatening to expose him paying players.
you know what innocent people do? Call the cops. they don’t have their wives cut a check.
I thinj it sucks. I liked will wade. I thought he made basketball so much more exciting. i’d love to hire him back
But Pearl wasn’t as heavily
implicated
And Self has 2 titles. There are 6 coaches all time with more than 2.

His sanctions were derivatives of an allegation that was false and cleared. An uncooperative atmosphere and a failure to report a potential violation that didn’t happen doesn’t equal paying players out of pocket.
Posted on 1/8/25 at 4:47 pm to tigerbait2010
Sounds like the BK contract.

It's too late for me to educate people on this, but what happened is the FBI was wiretapping Dawkins - and - Wade was on one of the wiretaps getting recorded saying "strong-arse offer" talking about Javonte, who was literally cleared to play by the NCAA after investigating.
The media that most here love to criticize just ran with it. And the sheep now keep saying the same fricking shite that isn't accurate.
Be fricking accurate. And be able to back it up. "Muh Streetball" morons.

Other programs weren’t facing investigations that included their cash cow football program as well. Some of you may be invested enough in the basketball program that you think it was worth risking football sanctions. Most LSU fans wouldn’t agree. Even if the chances were small of a major penalty, they were big enough that it wasn’t worth the gamble. There’s also the matter of integrity.
The NCAA was literally on the verge of total and complete collapse of their power. Other programs (ie Auburn, Kansas) understood this and stood by their coaches knowing nothing would happen to them.
LSU and Woodward folded at the poker table.
It’s really that simple.

Perhaps go do some light reading on what actually did here before talking out of your arse ?

That seems to be a trend with Woodword.
He needs to be audited for awarding these ridiculous contracts.

Yes, they did. It was a gamble. In hindsight, they probably would have won. Probably isn’t good enough when it comes to the football team

Just a bad deal all the way around. No one was coming who was at a top tier program, and an up and comer wasnt leaving for LSU without a massive deal. We got the best guy we could, it just hasn't worked out. MM is here through next season I'd say.
I agree with everything except the last sentence. If this goes the way we expect, MM is gone in March. Three years, zero progress. And no reason to expect it.

Yeah, so all of you Wade cucks take your own advice. None of you were in the shoes of any LSU brass, nor were any of you privy to what LSU sports as a whole was facing. You idiots pick and choose what you want to spew out and makes all of you sound like the idiots you are. LSU’s overall sports situation with football being at the forefront then was nothing at all like the situations of the other schools mentioned. Picking and choosing select portions for an argument is a female trait. It’s also the trait of an individual with a low IQ. As it pertains to this board and running off at the mouth concerning Wade and “him coming back…. Blah blah blah”, the traits of these fem boys match those perfectly.
