Correction ACC.

Because the reason they canned him no longer exists. You cannot blame him for doing what every other successful program and coach was doing. he just got caught. It sucks but it is forgivable.

If they are going to fire McMahon this is the only way it makes sense with the buyout and monies involved. Gotta have a coach they want ready to come. I still believe this team finishes in top half of league with a healthy DJ and Reed but unfortunately that didn’t happen. I’ve heard it’s a done deal with Wade coming. We will see.

I remember being at a HS party and watching that 1978 kentucky game. the whole place was going wild with the starters fouled out. And I was at the fricking Super Bowl in New Orleans for the Loyola Marymount game. Truly pissed me off as that was one of the worst Superbowl blowouts ever while my brother and friends were at the PMAC watching a classic. And I was living in Las Vegas at the time so got into many arguments with UNLV guys about who was better. Won a lot of money off them with the LSU win in 1990. They were so confident they were going to win they bet me straight up.Didn't even take the points. I believe they were getting 2.5-3. Also beating Memphis with the last second shot by Anthony Wilson in the NCAA tournament game at the PMAC. Has to be in the top 10 along with the win over Ga Tech.

My bad. Marlon Taylor not Maurice Williams. Got them mixed up.

2 players avg almost 20 ppg. But the experts here will tell you injuries don't matter.LOL. Now take NCST top 2 scorers off the floor. Then you will see the injury excuse big time.

tionrady was a well known a-hole. even to students. Kinda like the Orgeron situation. When you are winning people will put up with your crap. If you start losing and are still pulling the same crap, not going to go over well. Saban was an abrasive a-hole but he won. Once Brady started losing they didn't want to keep an a-hole so they fired him. he has mellowed since then and was probably humbled after the firing. He could definitely coach as he showed his first year with all of the sanctions and no depth.

You may be wrong about that. I know a lot of BBall boosters and they are about at the point of saying screw it let's move on. Especially if Wade is open to coming back which is the current belief at this time.Not so sure they are excited about possibly having to hire another mid major coach.

One thing is for sure. They hire Wade and season tickets sell out and the PMAC would be packed for the first game. I consider Wade a good coach, not a great coach, but a great talent evaluator. He will get the players. But he's also young so can he become a great coach? Even coaches learn and develop. Will see but I'm Ok with the hire. If they can't get him I'd look at the St Louis coach.

It is until it isn't. They weren't going to buy out BK until the TAM debacle. The problem is if you don't get Wade are you better off keeping mcmahon than rolling the dice on another mid major coach because that is going to be the most logical path. The boosters may see it as he has had a couple of injuries that kept this team out of the tournament and it may be financially better to give him another substantial NIL deal and run another year. But the program has just about gotten to rock bottom and if they are convinced he can't recover than the boosters may step up. It really all depends on if they can get a commitment from Wade after the season. If they do decide to make a move and can't get Wade then the St Louis coach might be a good option but I don't see them getting a big name P4 coach.

The ability to process information on here is laughable. This isn't about the past it's about 2026. Whether Mcmahon is fired at the end of the season is irrelevant. There is enough evidence to say that will happen and if it does so be it but the want to ignore facts in order to make that happen is what is the point. Wade, who I loved a as coach BTW, had a $10 -$12 mil budget at NCST. he also had a preseason national POY candidate. yet he lost to Auburn and Texas, He lost by 15 at home to VA. He lost to Ga Tech at home who is currently ranked 17th in the ACC and just got blown out by Louisville by 41. And he has a completely healthy team. Mcmahon loses 2 of his best players including one of the best PG in the SEC and goes on the road to TAM and loses by 3. Goes on the road to #19 Vandy and loses by 11. Goes on the road to #21 ARK and loses by 4. But he sucks as a coach. If you don't see the comedy I don't know what to tell you. I still think we should have beaten SC at home as well as KY but if you think this team doesn't win those games a swell as the TAM game with a healthy DJ and Reed then you aren't very knowledgeable in basketball. Take 2 of the best players off of any team and see what their record is then. I understand time has run out and this isn't a defense of Mcmahon not getting fired but it is a defense of reality. There is no excuse for getting beat by 41 with that team or losing to GA Tech.
