Graves has about a half dozenNBA teams looking at him for a first round pick. It would be pretty unlikely we get him, if he doesn’t go to the NBA draft you can believe he’s coming here.

Trent also didn’t have a 7 year guaranteed contract like MM, f you Woody.

I’ve read if MM were to just walk away he would owe LSU $2million. So we’d have to waive that.

So basically the idea that has been tossed around that it’s all in on Wade or you run it back with McMahon is true. If you can’t pull Wade this year, strip down the resources as much as possible and save up for when you can afford to get rid of McMahon and get Wade.

Everybody always says McMahon is a great guy, well if he was really great he would do the honorable thing and go find another job so we don’t have to fire him. I had a lot of respect for Trent Johnson for doing that. He knew he wasn’t cut out for this job and he went to TCU.

My prediction is that LSU will give MM one more season and then fire him with a smaller payout.

McMahon won’t make it past this season. He’s very fortunate to have gotten the fourth season and the only thing that saved him was going into ADs office and saying give me more NIL money. They agreed to that and said this is your last chance. Same results for him with the most talented roster he has had here.

The wheels are in motion to have his replacement ready to go. I would say after the Miss State loss it ramped up because you had a glimmer of hope to dig out of the basement.

McMahon hasn’t really ever had a different demeanor on the sideline but to me he looks like he knows this is over. He’ll take a year off, get hired in an appropriate level position as a head coach and be pretty successful. He’s just not a fit in the SEC.

This is the best team he’s had at LSU & his best player is healthy again

I agree it’s the best team in terms of talent. This should be a 10-11 win conference team…sucks that Thomas went out when we had a great chance to start conference strong but it is what it is.

How people still say Matt McMahon is not a bad coach is hilarious. He has lost 75% of his conference games. And the crazy thing is our talent this year is pretty solid, but still three of the conference losses are by double digits. I saw enough after year 1 to know McMahon was probably not going to last long here. Really don’t think anything less than a run to the sweet sixteen will keep him here past this year.

It was deleted because it was inaccurate. There is a lot of misdirection going on, which is a good thing in my opinion. Get people chasing their tails while they go conduct business and get a new coach.

Are we about to see a consolidation into just 3-4 broadcast groups nationally? Looking gray stock sitting under $6 a share, got a lot of debt too and forecast this year looks pretty down. Could they be a buyout target next?

So you're okay paying more NIL money to the same group of guys that just went 3-15 in conference? The AD has put it out there through his cronies that more money was on the way, are we really to believe that the same group of dudes with more money in their pocket and 2-3 new guys are going to perform better under this coaching staff? It's really difficult to see that happening.

I’ve been doing live sports broadcasts for over 20 years on CBS, SEC network, ESPN, Fox Sports and NBC. Mostly running cameras but have directed a bit, no other way to say it but it was another sh!t sandwich by D1. I’ve watched better broadcasts by high school production teams with a three man crew.

The failure on the streaming side is one thing but have a quality production crew that knows what they are doing first and foremost. Run a damn nat sound microphone right outside the announcer booth, you’ve certainly have to have available inputs up there to use.
