That is exactly what happened! He had to make a deal with the NCAA.

Not ignoring the “wrongdoing” but no information that came to light was new information to LSU, earlier in the season Wade was publicly talking Woodward to task on our shite facilities. I think him not falling in line with Woodward had more to do with our decision to fire him vs telling the NCAA to kick rocks

“ is likely a preseason top 10 team ”

Do we get a trophy and recognized nationally for being a preseason top 10?

His football hire hasn't even sniffed to college football playoff.

I thought McMahon had the potential to at least be an average coach especially after last year. Not good but at least competitive. I was wrong, lol. Embarrassing

Instead we’ve got a Mid Football program and the Basketball program is blown up. The difference is we or LSU still makes money off football and our MBB program is losing money and is a sham.

Probably top 5 team if Woody would have never fired Wade.


You are delusional. You want it so badly you’ve created an alternate reality. The SEC is different than it was when WW was here.

Right we were on top of SEC now we’re on the bottom, I totally agree.

I’m in fantasy land because I like LSU’s roster?

Absolutely. Carter was the only good player all year and he's gone along with 3 other seniors that were in the rotation. Throw in 3-4 defections and there ain't much roster there, definitely not any shooting. If anything the MM era has taught us it's to not count on 4 star freshman to be big contributors. Reed and Miller could be solid but with bad guards and no shooting that'll only go so far.

Woody used the report of information already known to LSU beforehand to oust Wade for no cost and hire his own guy. He got it wrong on all fronts. He should be held accountable but since he’s effectively killed fan support for the program, probably not feeling much heat at all.

This is 1000% correct, he used the NCAA threat as cover to fire Wade and get his man. Woodward failed miserably.

Woodward is a fraud. Dude sucks


I was surprised when Woodard actually came here. But his reputation for hiring top coaches gave us pause.
While JJ and Kim are great hires, MM is not and Kelly’s jury is still out.
I did think at one time that Woody might one day make a run for governor but now realize that was a dumb idea.
He can live another day if he has to hire another basketball coach but if Kelly can’t get us at least playing for a Natty, Woody may be on the same hot seat as CBK.

Hilarious that people still buy the “but he had to save football” bullshite.

Same people probably bought that team was turning around after beating terrible Oklahoma & S Carolina and still believe adding some dollars is going to turn McMatt into a great coach somehow
