Someone did a break down earlier, and Murray State has been a feeder school for P5 coaches. McMahon also has the worst record of the last few ...


Murray St has had 7 coaches before McMahon going to the early 80s.

Mick Cronin was very successful after leaving Murray St. Mark Gottfried somewhat successful. Steve Prohm, Tevester Anderson, Scott Edgar, Ron Greene and Steve Newton not so much.

Funny thing is that all 8 of these guys had close to the same level of success at Murray St.

Personally think it’s a solid hire. May also get the portal to help bring in some guard play. I for one wish Juice Hill was still in Fayetteville

Murray State has had a nice mid-major program prior to McMahon, to be fair. They've been a high-major coaching prospect factory.

Their past six coaches: Mark Gottfried, Tevester Anderson, Mick Cronin, Billy Kennedy, Steve Prohm, Matt McMahon. The only one who didn't get a high-major job from that group is Anderson.

No doubt the Ag fans will be scrutinizing the LSU very closely.
Hey, just providing the information. He seems way too squeaky clean for LSU, to be honest.

I’m sure LSU’s brass did a deeper dive before the hire.

True, but he's also been to more tournaments that the last few.

Billy Kennedy was there 5 seasons and only went to the tournament once.

Steve Prohm was there 4 years and only went once.

McMahon was there 7 years and went three times.

His first two years were rough (17-14 and 16-17). Hopefully this can be attributed to his first head coaching gig and trying to figure things out. If you remove those two seasons he's 121-36 or 77%, which is almost exactly the same as Steve Prohm (78%) and better than Billy Kennedy (67%).

Good hire imo. I'd be very pleased if I was an LSU fan.

Bump this to the top because nobody wants to publicize this as a positive for LSU.
