re: Was McMahon hired because he was the only option?

Good summation. Not absolving Woodward because the contract has become a disaster. But it was probably necessary to land McMahon, who actually wasn't a bad candidate. When McMahon was hired, not too many people were saying he had only been successful because of Ja Morant. And he had won a game in two different NCAA tournaments while with Murray State. Pretty good candidate, on paper. I know people find this hard to believe, but from coaching to hiring, sometimes coaches and administrators make a choice that's good and reasonable that, in hindsight, just doesn't work out.
On paper he was an adequate choice.
On paper.
There is absolutely no way that you will ever convince me he came across as the engaging personality LSU basketball needs in an interview.
EVERYONE knows that basketball has the massive looming issue across north stadium from the PMAC. To get out of football’s shadow you have to have a big personality.
Woody got exactly what he wanted. A bland suit who wouldn’t cause trouble.

This board would have been in full melt in 2022 if Woodward hired Golden over McMahon. McMahon inherited a moribund program facing NCAA probation and an empty roster a
Number 1 golden vs McMahon absolutely no one would have melted to pick golden.
They were the two big mid major names. Golden has done a great job at USF that had done absolutely nothing since bill russell. Whereas McMahon had good records at a place everyone wins at. That wasn’t a bad thing. Neither was a sure thing but golden was considered just as much of a prize as McMahon. Without interview it was pick your risk-possible flash in the pan vs is it the program or is it the coach.
Number 2 lsu basketball was FAR from “moribund” we had a top 3 if not best record in the SEC the last 3-4 years prior to his hire. yes there was the “looming sanctions” aspect. But the program had tons of excitement and was far from moribund.
The definition of moribund is ) in terminal decline; lacking vitality or vigor.
We are currently moribund with McMahon

Alleva would have hired Mike Bianco 100%
….ok?
All we have is their accomplishments. I judge off of the money makers.
Alleva hired a NC winning football coach and an SEC champion men’s basketball coach.
Woodward…… I guess I get why you are trying to change the conversation….

Alleva still didn’t know what the hell he was doing most of the time and mishandled way more situations than event a decent AD should
And yet even he could still hire a NC winning football coach and a SEC champion basketball coach unlike Woodward.
Makes you wonder what ole Scott was doing when he couldn’t even come close to replicating Allevas success.
I mean it’s Joe friggin Alleva

I mean it is extremely uncommon for an SEC team to go into the summer with zero players on the roster.
Mwani Wilkinson and justice Williams both were back mid April and adam miller by early may.
That’s inheriting two 4 star and 1 guy who was a borderline 5 star.
The next coach won’t get that lucky

MM took over a program hit with pretty severe recruiting restrictions.

He was also a guy who, coming from a small school, was used to building programs by getting guys in the system for a couple years
Wade did it.

Further, he took over a team, in April, with zero players.
Not uncommon at all nowadays and just cause they enter the portal didn’t mean they left. He had 2 starters from NCAA tournament teams return on that first roster AND brought along multiple of his own guys.

Jones started Del Pierro, not Trent. Jones also had Hickey, Johnny O'Bryant, and Andre Stringer already in the program. Then he managed to do absolutely nothing with Mickey/Martin/Simmons/Blakeney/Victor/Sampson/Quarterman/Mays/Hornsby/Reath. That's a ton of talent for a school like LSU to have at that time.
LSU has ALWAYS gotten talent.
McMahon has even had high ranked recruiting classes.
Just think how bad you think jones sucks then realize that McMahon has come nowhere close to his equal in regards to success

Woah now. Woody was bad but I’m not going that far with it. Alleva is the worst AD LSU has had in my lifetime and by a pretty wide margin.
Alleva hired a NC winning football coach and an SEC champion mend basketball coach.
Woodward? Saddled LSU with two of the five largest coaching buyouts of all time in football and his men’s basketball coach has a sec winning % worse than Curley.

Jones was playing in a minor league conference to what the SEC is now. There was not a season that ended with more than two conference teams ranked during his tenure. There was 5 in 23/24 and 8 in 24/25. Amount of SEC teams in the NCAA tournament during each tenure.
McMahon had open transfers and took over a program that had been making tournaments yearly.
Jones took over a program starting a tuba player.

She's too much of a liability because she won't keep her mouth shut.. The movie was objectively awful - but her actions and words contributed greatly to the revenue loss.
She hurt the mouse’s pocket book AND disrespected Walt in the process by how she spoke about the original movie on the circuit.
That movie has its special place in Disney corporate and I’m sure for the family as it was his first feature length film.
The only other thing she could have done worse was to send out promos featuring the watermark from The Office.
The mouse has blackballed her.
