You guys bashing Woody for the men’s bball hire are crazy

Do you not realize what he’s done since coming here? Not just good hires, but hires I would never have fathomed 25 years ago.
Pulled Kelly from one of the most prestigious schools in the country. I hate Notre Dame and they suck at football, but he’s not from Southern Miss, Okie State or down there on the Bayou. Year one and in the SEC Championship game. Come on.
Mulkey - given she’s from Louisiana, but pulling her from Baylor where she could have just glided into retirement and was on a pedestal there. Second year here and in the final four? Come on.
Johnson - another solid hire. And again, lured away from a fairly good program at Arizona. Not some podunk school in North La. Recruits some of the best players out there, 21-3 in year two thus far and just pounded the #3 team in the country. Come on.
McMahon - yes while it doesn’t look great at this point it was like selling a job to come and be a water sewer treatment plant supervisor (more like taste tester). Let’s see how it pans out in year two.
As someone who’s followed LSU for 35 years, you moaners and groaners need to realize where we are right now. This could be the decade of all decades forthcoming. Stop bitching and enjoy it.

they were #5 and Friday wasnt a massacre. It was 1-1 going into extras. The final score wasn't indicative of how the game went. Now, games 2 and 3, THOSE were massacres.

Sorry those two spots from 3 to 5 probably make it not quite as good if an arse whipping lol

I see no lies, it’s amazing he even got a mens BB coach to come here after the shite show Wade left behind. He literally had one player and even he wasn’t a sure thing at first.

People who bash SW fall squarely into the troglodyte category. The overall body of his work while at LSU is stellar, and only the Chads from Sulphur to Port Sulphur are dumb enough to think and broadcast otherwise.

What if they all left because their AD sabotaged their season six days before their first round NCAAT game? Seriously, how do you think the players felt about that move Woody cowardly made?

It's almost like a "coordinated effort" on there, isn't it?
Hmmmm
Hmmmm

Mother frickers bitching right now are the same people who point out pointy elbows on a super model.

Most of the guys trashing Woodward fall into 2 or 3 categories.
1. Hardcore Orgeron fans
2. Hardcore Will Wade fans
3. Basketball is my top sport fans.
Now not everyone in any or all three of those categories trash Woody. And a few criticize just the situation in basketball, which I understand.

The hanging Chads, as I like to call them.

I’ve always acknowledged that he’s made really good hires in every other sport. But historically, Woodward has struggled in men’s basketball.
The decision to fire Wade the way he did - leaving the team hanging days before the NCAA tournament - and then replaced him with a mid major coach was a poor decision. When he arrived on campus only one of the major sports was in good hands and consistently out performing the historical trend for that sport.
At the end of the day, he didn’t care for Wade and wanted his guy. Well, he’s got his guy, and much like his other basketball hires or decisions as an AD, it doesn’t appear to be successful.
Just because he’s made good hires in other sports does not give him immunity for the screw up with the basketball program.

He’s been really good. Right decision to fire Orgeron at the time, great hire. Getting Mulkey and Johnson also good hires. In my opinion he made the wrong the decision in the Wade situation. What’s worse, a black eye or being dead? My next evaluation of him will come with Softball, gonna let Beth continue to shite the bed or what?

You can admit that woody made a bunch of good hires while also admitting woody made a bad hire.

I can. Really enjoyed watching the Arkansas series and the women’s team make it to Dallas.

Scott is Skinny Woody when it comes to football, baseball, WBB, and softball. But he is Fat Woody when it comes to basketball.

It is a great time to be a Tiger!

You can criticize the way SW handled the Wade situation but as far as the hire there was no one coming here of any significance. I'll give MM another year to show improvement but it was a crappy situation he came into. And if they were holding the football program over his head then he may have had no choice but to fire Wade. Too many unanswered questions to be able to say anything definitively. I loved wade but paying the girlfriend out of his wife's account wasn't a smart move.

When he’s killing it with 90% of his job and put in a damn near impossible situation with the other 10%, you don’t get to call him “fat woody@
