Good for them. SEC basketball is more fun when LSU is decent, and Oats and Wade had a nice little rivalry going. I'd like to see it, honestly.

Mulkey would do better with the men than our current BBall coach.

Oats is jumping ship after he takes his L to Michigan.

Would’ve been fun though

His buyout is $18M. One of the highest CBB.

If LSU does rehire Wade, will he regret it as much as the first time?

quote:

In an interview with Adam Epstein of 910 The Fan on Friday, Wade remembered his previous stint with VCU. At that time, he had just led Chattanooga to a 20-win season and would have big shoes to fill after the previous coach, Shaka Smart, left the Rams following the 2015 tournament.

The Nashville, Tennessee, native, who left VCU after the 2017 tournament to coach LSU, where he stayed for five seasons until 2022, admitted he regretted the move from Richmond to Baton Rouge and wished he had thought about it for a longer time.

“I didn’t fully appreciate VCU when I was there as a head coach. As an assistant I did appreciate everything,” Wade said. “When I was a head coach I was young, just ‘move, move, move, move, move.’ Looking back, I should have never left – I’m reflective enough to admit that. I should’ve stayed awhile longer. We had something really (good) going.”

Of course he does. VCU is a basketball school. LSU is a school, and not a good one at that.

Agreed. Beating LSU with Wade is way more fun than beating LSU with the current guy. It’s just sad at this point

Amen

Oats definitely did Will a solid by agreeing to host McNeese for a game last season

Win or lose, at least wade shows energy. Not forty minutes of crossing his arms and looking like a statue. I have probably watch a total of ten minutes of LSU basketball in the past four years.

And every year we beat all the cupcakes in the first part of the season. And then would be lucky to win a couple of sec games. Not saying wade will win a natty but at least he makes it entertaining.
