It really is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen as an LSU fan. No head coach in the last 50 years has been worse than McMahon (at least in the major sports). Yes, that includes Hallman who had a career SEC winning % TEN points higher than McMahon's. For the last 50 years LSU has fired numerous coaches with significantly better records of success after significantly fewer years of failure. Brady went to the Final Four and was fired 1.5 years later due to having similar results as McMahon has had in 3 of his 4 seasons at LSU. Johnny Jones had ONE awful season in 5 years. Yet, that one awful season was enough to prompt a change. Mike Archer finished No. 5 in the country in his first season as HC. Yet, all it took was 2 bad years for him to be fired. Same for Dinardo. He brought back the magic, but it wasn't enough to survive just two bad seasons. Even the greatest season in LSU football history wasn't enough to save Orgeron after 1.5 bad seasons. Paul Maineri played for a national championship in 2017. Three seasons later he was being pushed out for subpar results...despite making it to the "Sweet 16" of baseball in his final year. Smoke Laval went to 2 CWS and won nearly 60% of his SEC games. Wasn't good enough. Hell, just this school year Brian Kelly had 19 career SEC wins when he was fired mid-season, more than every school except Alabama and Geogia. Did not matter Yet, somehow, a coach who has the fewest SEC wins in the conference during his 4 year tenure, has guided his team to being the ONLY school in the conference to not reach the NCAA Tournament in 4 seasons (and not even being in contention), has the lowest SEC winning % in the 100+ years of the program, and is the first HC to have a losing record overall in 50+ years, somehow seems to have not only an unlimited degree of grace from some with decision making authority, but actual support for him "being a good coach" despite no evidence of that whatsoever.
