His legacy is cemented in college football - he won the most prestigious trophy in the sport. That's free marketing for LSU that we've forfeited for a player who at best could win the Thorpe (all due respect, hope he does and would be a hell of an accomplishment). Can you name the past five, or even two, Thorpe winners? I can't...

Ok then let's give #9 to this year's QB recruit if he really wants it - what he MIGHT do is a lot more important than what someone DID do.

When does the Will Wade obsession end? He's an above average coach, would probably consistently get us into the Sweet 16. I don't project LSU becoming a basketball school, so maybe that's good enough? I just don't understand the ceaseless pursuit of Will Wade.

He's a fricking clown

This thread is a cattle call for every loser on the board.

Hope it's not the "Louisiana taxpayers."

Yes, 100% I can envision Kelly fielding a national championship team.

Reading through TD threads after a loss always makes me wonder how 95% of humans function day-to-day without a helmet on at all times.

He could have never scored a goal and Wayne Gretzky would still be the NHL's all time points leader. Without extreme rule changes, that record will absolutely never be broken.

That said, Wilt's other record is probably pretty secure.

It's called being realistic. And anyone who even thinks anything negative about Kelly or Mulkey (or Johnson) is an idiot, like you.

Josh Pate said the hire would be made quickly. He did not name any names. This is BS.

The OP mentioned Mulkey and Johnson winning national championships in their second years. I'm not at all trying to "conflate the two;" in fact, I said that's a ridiculous expectation or even comparison (Mulkey inherited an awful team, but she's a top five women's basketball coach of all time - I don't think McMahon will be that - and Johnson inherited a good team).

If LSU wins half their conference games, that would be acceptable in McMahon's second year.
