re: The $10 million buyout number is extremely misleading...

You are correct, and I can't tell if people are ignorant to the facts you laid out or for some reason BSing. Considering the money that's being shelled out over there this is peanuts. It would be insane to bring back Matt McMahon, and I trust there is no chance of that happening. Year 4 was already a slap in the face to LSU basketball fans. Year 5 would be confirming they don't give a damn, which I don't believe.

Correct.

Last night should be it. Though I could see, if you have a handshake agreement in place with next year's coach, that coach preferring that LSU wait until March so he doesn't have to answer questions about it for as long as possible.

Can’t remember booing the home team in the PMAC before this season. Players are getting paid now but still just a sad situation. Time to pull the plug.

Look no further than Florida for what is attainable for LSU basketball. Just need the right guy. If there wasn't a totally pointless and wasteful federal investigation into college basketball recruiting, we may be there right now.

Why would he consider it? Money for one. An extremely close relationship with the University President for another. I don’t know if he’ll do it but it’s pretty obvious why he’d consider it.
re: Wade a minute, we were down by 27 to State?

I just hope we Will commit the resources necessary to have a winning program and not Wade around in basketball hell any longer.
re: McMahon owed 80% of remaining contract when fired. Who does Verge call to pay it?
Posted by covtgr on 1/28/26 at 8:07 pm to The Hurricane
Monthly payments through end of contract minus his future earnings. Not gonna be that bad.
Anyone that thinks we aren’t going to do anything we can within reason to go get Will Wade isn’t paying attention.
I don’t know if he’ll do it but obviously LSU is going to try and hire Will Wade. If we can’t get him I’m confident this crew will bring in a significant upgrade from Matt McMahon.

Is anyone compiling stats for preseason scrimmages since they started last week? Would love to see that if so.

We've been fed a bunch of lies about how poor Matt McMahon received no support for his basketball program and never had a chance to win. 3 of 4 seasons he signed a top 20-25 freshman class. 3 of 4 seasons he signed a top 15-20 transfer class. The results have been a complete joke. The End can't come soon enough.
Beard is a stone cold winner. However, he got a big raise from Ole Miss last offseason when Texas A&M was hunting for a coach. You’d have to pay a bunch of money. His salary is $5 million. Maybe he’d just rather coach at LSU but it won’t be cheap.
re: Who are some MBB coaching candidates for next year?

Frank William Wade
re: How much NIL should we put to MBB once we get a new coach?

Do people realize coaches are allowed to hustle, develop relationships with donors and generate excitement/raise funds for the program and their players to go far above what the University pays out in rev share? That's where the money is going to come from. Not whether LSU puts $2 million or $4 million or whatever into the basketball roster.

Top 3 dumbest arguments made in this thread -
1) LSU should just let basketball suck and give all the money to football and baseball. Too stupid to argue.
2) Will Wade sucks. The results speaks for themselves. He wins everywhere he goes and is still a young coach. If you were going to handicap who will have the most NCAA tournament wins over the next 15 years, Will Wade is firmly in the top 5-10.
3) Will Wade would never come back to LSU. Maybe true but maybe not true. NC State as this basketball factory is a bit of a myth. Yes, they are passionate about basketball. No, they are no where near UNC and Duke in their own backyard. For starters, the new LSU head coach will likely receive double Will Wade's current salary.

Devon Dampier makes so much sense for LSU. I'm ready for a portal announcement from that kid.

They did some things well. Allowing over 41.6% ORB is absolutely horrendous and doesn’t have much if anything to do with Thomas.

8-10 in the SEC with LSU's non conference schedule is likely not going to get it done.
