His teams at LSU have consistently given up a very high three-point shot percentage. The biggest factor in this equation is that we cannot stop a straight line drive. This leads to defenders collapsing, leaving wide open shooters on the perimeter. In general, we are not very tough defensively. We have also lacked toughness on the boards.

His team in general are soft. This doesn’t mean they don’t play hard, he generally gets good effort from his players. There is a difference between being tough and playing hard.

Teams tend to take on the personality of their coach. McMahon appears to be a very passive individual. His teams seem to play with that same lack of urgency, intensity, and aggression.

Talent is not the biggest issue for this team, and has not been the biggest issue for this team over the last four years. We have not been the most talented team in the conference, but based on recruiting rankings, we certainly are not the worst. On talent, alone, we should have more than 14 wins over a four year Conference stretch.

McMahon seems to be a really good person and has proven at other stops he’s a good basketball coach. He just doesn’t have the personality to be a head coach at this level. Wish him the absolute best once he moves on, but it was obvious from year one that he was not the answer here.

If I performed my job like he has, I wouldn't have a workplace.

Not sure it means we can read to much into other than MM is trying to save his job.

Does seem to indicate that the Scarborough narrative that the staff would be gutted is BS.

Guess topics related to LSU sports don’t belong on the rant if the admins don’t like the content.

Change the title to make it clear it’s a comparison of NCST and LSU and request it be moved.

Mascona is still upset that his Catholic High buddy isn’t running the ship anymore.

Yes, LSU has the money to can MM and make a run at Wade. May or may happen, but the poor mouth and NCST is a destination basketball job is just not true in today’s financial environment.

This is the dumbest shite ever. He’s not owed any of this in a lump sum. It’s paid out over the remaining term.

Make the right hire and it’ll make enough to pay him out over the next 36 months.

You actually can’t afford not to fire him. There is a real risk of basketball operating at or near beak even next year if you keep him.

Unfortunately message boards don’t pay the bills. Basketball operates in the black (most years) baseball doesn’t.

Why give away your second biggest money making sport? The last coach here proved this program can be successful at the same time football and baseball are successful.

Guess it wouldn’t be a good look for the school and the conference if the introduction sounded something like this

“ LSU is led by Matt McMahon, in his 4th season with the Tigers and looking for his 17th Conference win. He’s just a few wins away from the 20 win mark in his first four years.”

I agree that the graphic is misleading. But I don’t think it’s a coverup for anything

That’s BS. Most coaches have their record included in the intro stat line. It is absolutely a way of covering up how bad he has been. You’ll NEVER hear his LSU record mentioned on an ESPN broadcast.

It’s not a conspiracy, it’s the SECN, likely at the request of LSU, trying not to highlight how bad he has been.

Every time ESPN/SECN introduces McMahon on the sideline they have a stat line that says 4th year at LSU with 3 NCAAT appearances and an NIT. No mention at all that none of those NCAAT came at LSU.

Why are some many trying so hard to cover up his absolute and complete failure at LSU. Very deceiving stat line. Don’t recall seeing other coaches have references to tournament appearance at their prior stops.
