Kids memories are pretty short.
2019 was six years ago. Even with Daniels we've largely been irrelevant since then with two fired coaches in that period.
Tech was just in the CFP and has spent huge bucks on facilities and the portal. The coach is reported to be great at building relationships.
They have unlimited funding because they're mega donors recognize that Tech, or any program, can be a player in today's landscape.
Oh yeah, the "best conference in the country" hasn't sniffed a title the two previous years and this year's chances rest on Ole Miss, hardly a blue blood.
I don't find it surprising at all.

I was there in NOLA with my daughter who was an FSU student but lifelong LSU fan. We had flown in two nights earlier from Jacksonville.
We visited with some friends to tailgate.
It was a dream to be there and witness our first title since 58. I still have the Picayune poster they were selling outside the Dome that night.
Ran into some salty OU fans leaving the stadium.

Are You Surprised?
I am only surprised that Parker would hit the portal. He seems talented and that Kiffin would have wanted to keep him. I thought he should have a lot more playing time than Brown and was the most capable receiver to replace Aaron Anderson when he went down.
re: Matt McMahaon is not gonna make it

Oh look, another fire McMahon post.
No one has ever suggested that he's not going to make it. What a revelation.
If the fire McMahon posts were a drinking game, every one would be shite faced all day, every freaking day until he's fired.
It's a broken record, a daily catharsis!! Just let it play out. There is no advantage to firing him mid season. Whatever plans are being made with having a short list, to the timing are all in the hands of the Administration, Verge and whoever is footing the bill.
Everyone will get their taste of blood when the event occurs.

Now you're just making shite up.
It didn't seem like such a bad hire back then when the program was likely viewed as a toxic landing spot for almost any coach to consider. Still, no one was doing summersaults with his hire.
As for his prior accomplishments you could have said the same about Wade when he was hired. Their records prior to LSU were comparable and Wade took over a good VCU program from Shaka Smart.
In hindsight, McMahon has obviously been a big disappointment even considering the shite show he inherited. He hasn't proved to be adept at recruiting, portal and the lack of talent has been noticeable. His personality is drab. I have to think there was some reason why he wasn't let go earlier. If the big hoops boosters wanted him gone he would have been toast.
No one thinks he will survive this year without a tourney invitation assuming LSU boosters will pay his buyout and spend big bucks on the right hire. It's hard to see prospective coaches lining up to come to Baton Rouge.
Everyone wants to see the PMAC packed and a return to a deep tourney run. No one thinks that will happen under McMahon. This is his best team and we should support them. HIs future will all play out at some point.

I’ll leave it because it sounds like complete horse crap.
The “sister” of a new coach who you happened to communicate with over these particular insights and facts sounds more than a little suspicious.
You’re wasting your efforts. Most of those dudettes with “Mc” crap are social inept, immature douche nozzles. The McMahon lynch mob can’t just let it play out.

This Portal seems to cheapen Signing Day for high schoolers
Signing day is now a one year only deal. No team is immune. It means the head coach and assistants have to build real relationships with these kids they coach. Plus they have to have a plan for each player in terms of playing time and development. Plus, you have the bucks allocated to keep them.
Without valid contracts it still doesn’t matter. It’s an auction each year. I assume no NIL contract is binding since that would be pay for play.
The kid did not seem to be able to “run to daylight” which is odd because he could stick his foot in the ground and cut.
Of course he didn’t seem to trust the play or the line which is understandable.

He was supposed to be an elite recruiter. Hah!
If they were talented he sure as hell didn’t develop them!
Kirby either ran him off or was happy to see him go although UGa has a awful WR room

I think both IU and Miami defenses are too good for them.
The Ole Miss offense is elite. While those defenses are good, the Rebels will still score. Of the teams left, Ole Miss has a better offense than scUM and is at least equal to Indiana and Oregon.

Absolutely. Miami's offense is crap.

I wouldn't be too sure. Miami's defense may be outstanding the offense is not. The Rebel offense is elite and far better than that trash tOSU has.
Ole Miss has an excellent chance of beating scUM. If they make it to the title game anything can happen.

The guys on this board satisfied with 2 win SEC seasons and no March Madness are pathetic.
No one is satisfied with 2 win SEC seasons and everyone is aware of our coaching situation. It doesn't mean that we all have to worship at the altar of Will Wade.
He's not leaving NC State, a school with a rich tradition of hoops success, to return to LSU. That ship has sailed.
People who whine about what happened with Wade need to move on and stop acting like a teenager pining for a lost crush.
