It didn't take me long to figure out what we had in Wade.
From the hiring press conference to beating Michigan in game 2 under him. Then tournament appearances every year after the first.
LSU with Kiffin and Wade leading the major sports would be very enjoyable for LSU fans.

He will be fired. It has to be done will lose more money by keeping him and letting the second most important sport from a financial standpoint continue to struggle. Things can be Turned around quickly with the right hire and money will flow to the program

$10 million to buy out McMahon and staff
First, MM and maybe some of the staff will be paid out over the duration of the remaining contract, and McMahon and staff costs are sunk costs anyway. They get paid if he is or isn't fired.
There are 5 coaches on the staff with listed contracts under basketball. Two, Casey Long and Vince Walden, have contracts that end after this season. Two others, David Patrick and Jalen Courtney-Williams, have contracts that end after next season, and one, Ronald Dupree, has a contract that ends after the 2028 season. All will be paid out monthly until the end of their contract, and all have mitigation clauses.

$5-10 million to buy a decent roster.
The NIL costs were gonna be there regardless. So also sunk costs regardless of firing MM.
quote:This is the real added cost, the salaries of new staff, and it isn't 10 million plus; that will be spread over the years, and some of the other sunk costs may be mitigated when McMahon and the old staff get new jobs.
$10 million plus for new staff

You do realize we don’t pay McLoser a lump so. As dumb as fat Scott was he did manage to at least make the buyouts over time.
So more like 2M a year if McLoser can’t be picked up by a mid major. We know no power 4 team will take his arse and he is too boring for broadcasting. Perhaps the buyout is reduced if he works at Walmart.
New coach let’s say is Will
wade maybe at 4M his staff maybe 4
So that’s 10M and with a good coach the 10m or more for a roster would be easy
Plus all the assistants will likely find new jobs as well off setting their small amount.
The only additional cost to the program is paying a new staff

Just as soon keep him. No decent Coach will touch this program with a 1000’ Pole. LSU DNGAF about Men’s Basketball and everyone knows it.

Please provide a detailed case for this puzzling statement.

False. Maybe sit this one out, champ. You might be out of your element.

As evidenced by the Coach we have now JackA$$! Pull your head out of your ARSE Dummy. LSU DNGAF about Men’s Basketball! Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder can see that from the Space Station!
