re: Why hasn’t McMahon been fired yet?

The LSU-Wade situation was never "impossible" because there was (a) too much support for him among influential people, (b) the impediments at LSU (Tate/Woodward) were removed, (c) replaced by "friendly" faces in high positions, and (d) his contract at NC State is not "massive".
That doesn't mean it is a "done deal" by any means. But the only people who think it is "impossible" are the ones that want it to be "impossible". Not for the betterment of LSU basketball. Just to satisfy their own need to be the rogue outlier from the crowd.

I think Verge has the pulse of the fan base. His 100% commitment to getting Kiffin demonstrated that. If he wants to 180 the basketball program he is going after Wade with the same ferocity. I don’t necessarily agree, but I fully expect Wade here next year. It is the only way to have ticket sales.

Yes. If they did fire him today, what changes by Wednesday?

Wade is the only one I can think of (that’s attainable) that would be an instant shot of optimism and excitement
All others given our track record would probably be a wait and see approach.
I believe we need instant excitement especially to justify the front loaded costs of firing the current loser, hiring Wade, and of course spending money on a roster. Wade instantly opens pockets and probably season ticket sales. Immediate ROI
Again Wade isn’t perfect and other options can succeed here but due to the position Scott put us in, he’s our best option by a wide margin

He doesn’t use email. Or have a cell phone. He’s hard to track down.

Agree 100%. If you want an instant revival of the program, this is the way to do it. There are other names out there, but unless Roy Williams is coming out of retirement, none of them will have the impact he will on the program on day 1.

Wade is the "known" option, which makes him both attractive and exciting for LSU basketball fans. I agree that another HC would have to win the fans over. But given how low the program has sunk I don't think it would take much to give basketball fans some degree of hope. Just see Wade's opening press conference. He wasn't necessarily the "preferred" choice of the fanbase at the time. But he came out of the gates like a bolt of lightening with a clear vision. Compare that to McMahon who appeared overwhelmed and spoke in banal platitudes.

Forget the name, he would have the best resume of anyone LSU might could reasonably hire. Of course, there also has to be the thought of is the next Oats, Golden, McCasland sitting there at a mid major school that could transcend the program beyond even the good things Wade did at LSU. Wade is the safe bet. But I also don't think I would overpay for him out of desperation

Please explain how you don't necessarily motherflucking agree with the idea of bringing Wade back. Thanks.

Wade WILL be the new MBB coach come April. Book this.
He got top 3 ACC money(reportedly 10 million) and finished 10-8 in a weaker ACC including losing 6 of his last 7 games. What are you Wade cucks going to do when he gets mid tier NIL money here(due to buyouts and his own contract), and he can’t have much, if any success here?
We need to go a completely different direction.

Verge wants to leave him in Nashville.

Because no one with money cares.

I definitely think if you bring someone like Wade in you won't see the NIL commitment go down, hell its reported we spent 8-10 mill on this team.
He probably won't come here unless we are in that ballpark NIL range next season.
Now, if we go with the Mid major route, that's fine but I would expect a NIL drop his first year. Probably get the rev sharing and a few more from boosters year 1, then if we have any success the funds should be able to increase.

Wade specifically would have big money boosters jump back on board.

Any coach that isn't McMahon would have an opportunity to rally boosters to get some funding that won't happen with a 2nd lame duck season of McMahon.

Oh yea McMahon was terrible at fundraising so Scott's dying wish was to get him more money.
If CMM is here next year you'll see bad coaching and players. Might not even be able to fill out the roster.

I don’t think 8-10m is very logical. I don’t even think our current roster fielded 10m. More like 7. I don’t think it’s plausible to think we buyout McMahon for let’s say 10, hire Wade at 4-5, AND give him another 10 to work with in NIL? I just don’t see it.
Wade had every opportunity to compete in the ACC. Especially with NIL and the ability to construct a winning team overnight as some of you might say. He finished below expectations(#4 preseason ACC), yet some of you think he can come here and win in a tougher conference with less money? The ones on here that talk about not wanting to be mediocre are wanting to hire a guy that’s exactly that? Scrap the record pre-NIL, we were paying those guys already.
Right now Will Wade is an exceptional mid major coach and a mediocre p5 coach that has underachieved. Why would you want to bring that guy back?
Let’s go back to the drawing board.
