How is it his fault that they finally opened the checkbook this year to get some decent players and two of the most important pieces got hurt before SEC play?


Just the unluckiest coach in the country huh? Poor guy.

Don't forget his recruiting + portal classes finished in the top 4 of the SEC 2 out of his first 3 seasons. Poor guy just needs more money.

I’d say he has a massive say in what happens. They are our main money source.


And they will continue to be even if we fire MM. They're not pulling money over firing a coach that the fanbase is absolutely ready to move on from and have been for going on 2 seasons. He likes the current coach, he'll love the new coach.

And yes, its part of their national platform


There's 2 types of libertarians:
1. True libertarians
2. Contrarians who want to be different yet have to be governed and defined by something like a national party.

No true libertarian follows the libertarian party.
Its a very simple idea:

Take any issue. Which side is the side that gives more liberty? MOST of the time that is the side you will find the libertarians on. The exceptions to that rule is when that liberty infringes on the rights of others. Such as the trannies in sports debate. True libertarians see it as infringing on the rights of the other girls competing so they are against it.

Yep. frick it. Promote Taz.

But the money is there and the pieces are in place to bring Wade home.
Havent paid attention but what is being said that warrants mods getting involved? Is it any different than when other teams lose??

37 of those 49 losses have been by double digits.

Just because Wade had to go doesn’t mean LSU had to hire a department store mannequin to replace him.


And with that contract. He is currently making more than NC St is paying Wade. And we're tied to $6 or $7m still after we fire him.

I understand that with the possibility of sanctions looming it would be hard to find a quality coach. But shite. Someone else out there would have taken the job for less. Hire an up and coming assistant from somewhere on a small salary and short term so that when the sanctions are lifted (or dont get handed down) you can get out of the contract and make a better hire. But Scott fricking handcuffed us.

Wade fixes that problem immediately.


I buy my family season tickets the day he is announced. Anyone else and I don't. I wait and see. I don't think I'm alone. It's that simple for Verge and the board.
It is kind of fricked up that someone that lives 1.5 hours away from the district is going to run to represent it in congress and get the President's endorsement.
quote:

only thing that saved him was going into ADs office and saying give me more NIL money


The only thing that saved him was that Will Wade was there for the taking and Woodward was our AD. If Wade signs the NC St deal a year prior, Scott fires MM last year. But b/c there would have been so much pressure to hire WW and Scott absolutely wasn't going to do that, he kicked the can down the road another year. And it ultimately cost him his job.

MAGA will have no answer. All they know is Trump said to vote for it.


They see Massie and immediately call him names and take up the other side.

Can't wait to read on here how they are now suddenly in support of spending $3b on Israel, $1.5b on Egypt, and over $5b on refugee resettlement here in the US.
I'm in favor of common sense press reform.

I disagree. I unabashedly want Wade back. If our job comes open with this much of the season left the heat will be on him to make a statement about it. With that much time and his team playing well it would be too much pressure for him to say anything other than he's got no interest and will stay at NC st.

I think we should fire him right before the sect.

[quote]He’s happy at a basketball school[/quote

I think the Wade haters overhype NC St as a prestigious basketball school a bit. They're the 3rd best program in their state and the gap between them and 2 is huge. The gap between them and 4 (WF) is not.

They do have 2 titles but the last one was in 1983.
In the last 20 years they have just 2 more ncaa tournament appearances as us and one of those they werent going to make it until they won their conference tourney. That same year their fluke run continued and they went to the final four... but thats their only appearance in the final four in those 44 years since their title. We've been twice in that time span.

If the argument is support - sure. NC St's revenue share program provided $1m more than LSU's did to their respective basketball teams. I'm pretty sure that difference and then some can be made up to lure Wade away. Our athletic department as a whole generated over $100m more in revenue last year than nc st did. 223m vs 120m. Almost double the revenue - they're not gonna be able to out-bid us if we really want Wade.

I hated watching his chaotic “offense”


Offensive ppg and SEC ranks in the Wade era:

17-18: 77.5 (3rd)
18-19: 80.4 (2nd)
19-20: 80.5 (2nd)
20-21: 81.8 (1st)
21-22: 72.6 (7th) - this was the year our defense was dominant. 2nd in SEC.

Man. Yeah you poor thing. Having to sit there and watch that.
quote:

Yeah I guess in theory winning the SEC tourney could get you in, so you have to "let him have the full chance".


I've always thought a mid-season firing for basketball would be pointless but this comment may have me changing my mind. In the highly unlikely event that we run the table in the SECT and make it in, he would have momentum to keep his job and hang around for next hear. And we cant hold the future of our program hostage in the event they go on a 4 game miracle run in the tourney. I think Verge would be best to make the move later in the season but before the tourney.
quote:

Last years class had a higher per player ranking, and there are a few teams this year that have higher per player rankings than us.


That volume hurts the per player rankings. We have to fill a roster. Only 38 players from last year remained on the team. We took 40 players.

If you look at last year's group with a higher per player rating you'll see we only took 18 kids - 0 5*, 12 4*. 5 3*. This season with 40 kids we have 3 5*, 11 4*, and 23 3*.

Last year's group finished with a 90.53 rating. If you take our top 18 this year its 92.60.

How do you and Massie propose we deport the illegals if ICE doesn’t have any funding?


Funny you should ask!

Did you know that this funding bill cuts deportation and enforcement funding to the tune of $115m? Or that it cuts out 5500 beds in detention centers? Or that in order to make those cuts yet still keep the same level of funding as prior years (so as not to alarm people who dont care enough to look into it) it shifts that money to body cameras, over sight and de-escalation training?
