Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports

Joe Giglio and Jeff Borzello have reported that former LSU and current McNeese head coach Will Wade has reached an agreement to become the next head coach at NC State.

Wade coached at LSU from 2017-2022, compiling a 105–51 record with three trips to the NCAA Tournament, including a Sweet 16 appearance in 2019.

He was fired from LSU in March 2022 and hired as McNeese State's head coach in March 2023. He has a 49-8 overall record with the Cowboys in two seasons, with back-to-back trips to the NCAA Tournament.

No. 12 McNeese plays No. 5 Clemson on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Congrats NC State AD for having the balls to hire a real basketball coach

While McMahon has not done well since arriving, his previous 5 year record at Murray State was outstanding….121-36. That’s crazy good. He had that program rolling. Unfortunately, he hasn’t made it work here at LSU. But, in Woodward’s defense, he did hire what was considered a real bb coach at the time. McMahon has proven Woodward wrong at this point.

Good. Now you people can stop talking about it.

Dry prong•13 months

Thanks to Wade’s ability to “recruit” players, he did a heck of a job at LSU. Only problem was he was a tad ahead of his time when it came to the NCAA.

CDawson•13 months

Not really, he was betrayed by his admin.

robertgamb•13 months

He gets more attention at LSU than the recent coach, because the recent coach is absolute dog shite garbage!

Goalie•13 months

The guy gets more attention at LSU than the actual LSU BB coach. Smh :lol:

GeauxTigers1410•13 months

Or the women’s coach or the baseball coach, also hired by Woodward. Both have already won national titles.

CSinLC•13 months

Thanks for your time at McNeese. Geaux Cowboys!

I am one for the admin creating a WILL WADE TALK page away from the RANT and hopefully all the WW knob slobbery have a place to go.

Does NC State have a message board they can join?

OU812•13 months

Good now we don't have to hear about him anymore!

MasonTiger•13 months

I doubt that.

Let the melt begin.

saintslsupels•13 months

So many grown arse dudes have a weird man crush on this guy. In 5 years he made the sweet sixteen once, and only advanced in the tournament twice. Nate Oats in year 2 at bama surpassed Will Wade in year 4 at LSU.

oneg8rh8r•13 months

great, go get him

Davy•13 months

He got McNeese--McNeese--into the tournament two years in a row while we're at home.

ThomasShelby•13 months

That’s not the feat you think it is. Best Northwestern, Nichols, and Southeastern and the like and win the tournament =auto bid.

luciouslou•13 months

thank God. We wont have to hear about him anymore

Guys WW was the casualty of getting caught with our pants down and having to choose a sacrificial lamb. Was never gonna be the football team.

LuckyTiger57•13 months

Well, ok. A lot of time between now and then, but we are in a much better position with NIL money than we have been to make his commitment stick. Time and money will tell.

brewdrees•13 months

Do WW groupies not remember why he got fired???

Recoveringcajun•13 months

Good. Maybe that’ll shut up the WW nut slurpers.

Maybe.

OldManHenry•13 months

Good for him.. West Carolina is beautiful and he won't have to deal with the Fat arse

GoneFishing21•13 months

He wasn’t dealing with Woodward anyway.

Tiger in Gatorland•13 months

NC State isn’t in western NC.

OldManHenry•13 months

Oh really dumbass..is it in the tech triangle of Duke, State, NC..is that central NC- NO. Is it Eastern - NO.

It's considered Western NC, you dumbass

Wade was the only coach that sniffed success over the last 30 years and Woody folded like a cheap fricking tent to the NCAA

monsterballads•13 months

John Brady was more successful arguably than wade

Tiger1988•13 months

fricking retard

LSU Jax•13 months

Hmm. A trip to the Final Four doesn’t qualify as sniffing success. Who knew?
