I see why the pay tables listed 2029-2030. McMahon's contract had an automatic 1 year extension in it if LSU received any penalties for conduct prior to his start date. Post Season ban or 2+ scholarship reduction and McMahon would have gotten an 8th year added.

Thanks for all the info, honestly I don’t care if it was a lump sum. Whatever gets us to a new coach. Hate it didn’t work out but the time has come to move forward with someone else.

I think you meant $200k per month, not per year

The contracts specifically say LSU pays this out in equal monthly installments over the rest of the years left on the deal. For McMahon, LSU is basically just paying a monthly bill for the next few years, not taking an 8 million dollar hit to the bank account all at once.
This is why most of you on here are broke. Mens BB has a balance sheet. One charge is to pay coaches. So now you want to pay a new coach to really coach and one not to do anything.
This is like buying a new house with a mortgage and still paying the old mortgage or buying the new car and rolling the debt owed onto the new note.
I think this is what we did with BK but what is different is somebody had to pony up the financial backing to do what we did after that. What concerns me is that LSU seems to be hesitating for financial reasons which means they boosters are not firmly behind it or the program.

This without cause is bs. Isn't losing by 30 and not doing your job well for more than 2 years fireable "with cause"? It would be at any other company.

Not sure if Will screwed your wife or McMahon is your brother but you obviously arent an LSU basketball fan. If you were a fan you’d know that MM should have been gone last year. Also, if you were a fan you’d want WW to return. He would turn the program around in 1 year. Even if we can’t hire WW, a change is desperately needed.

LSU needs to upgrade the stadium to attract better talent the man can coach basketball people like Kim mulkey didn’t just make up he could coach basketball he has been killed by injuries!! Updates gets you more players where injuries don’t hurt as much!!

“We can’t afford that. We just need to accept the fact that LSU won’t be able to keep up with the big programs…blah blah blah”.

Paid out over 39 months is roughly $200,000 per month IF he doesn't get another job. His new job will reduce this significantly.
In truth big boosters will really have to be in love with LSU basketball. Think about it like this, how many other schools are trying to throw around the money we are to achieve top tier success in football, Men's BB, Women's BB, and baseball? If the oil money and Nike and Hollywood level boosters aren't pumping every major sport in the top teir of spending. They are picking and choosing.

Looks like LSU will be paying the entire buyout for BK. It’s no guarantee that a coach will find another job
That’s what those dumb fricks get for hiring a 60 year old. I said so at the time. CBK is the same age as me. I was at least as successful as CBK in my field, but I knew my day was past and I figured his was at least close to past.

It would depend on who LSU hires. If it is a mid-major HC or major conf. assistant, then the buyout would be minimal, it there is one at all. It's likely Wade would be the only major conf. target.

NIL estimates are like dick measuring contest or fishing stories. Evey time it is talked about the size gets a little bit bigger and it is ALWAYS exaggerated. Plus, ~$4M would come from revenue sharing.

Indiana just signed Cignetti to an $11.6M deal and they are paying their new basketball HC nearly $5M. LSU baseball and WBB certainly have their share of donors, but those markets are much smaller than football and men's basketball.
Unless LSU can convince Wade to return, it's very likely they aren't going to hire a "big name" HC. That's where the football mentality of many fans erroneously come into play. They think one MUST hire a "big fish" at a massive cost to be great in basketball. That just isn't the case. Todd Golden wasn't a big name when Florida hired him at the same time LSU hired MM. 3 years later he's a national champion. A&M just hired McMillan from Samford for roughly $3M per year. They are in the hunt for a NCAA Tournament bid with a completely new roster (returned 0 scholarship players from last year)
NO ONE is expecting LSU to hire a HC and immediately compete for a NC next year. But that doesn't mean you just throw your hands up and say "oh well. I guess will not only continue employ the worst HC in the league (which the record reflects) but give him MORE money to waste." You cut your losses and move on. Maybe the situations in other sports keeps you from going after a "big name" with a $6M, $7M, $8M contract offer. But it doesn't prevent you from finding a coach who can produce much, MUCH better results than the current situation.

It’s misleading for sure since it’s really 8M and that’s equally paid out per month and of course the offsets. We are paying that rather he coaches or not.
The roster is also a cost we will pay rather MM coaches or not so that number doesn’t change.
So then it’s the new coaches salary so let’s say it’s 4M plus 2M for staff so it’s 6M more over a full year. 500k in additional expense if we can vs not per month assuming worst case he can’t get a job.

Is BK even really trying to find a new job? His name was not and has not been mentioned for any jobs that were out there. I never saw anything where he had an interview or an inquiry. Not in college and not in the NFL. Nobody wants him it seems. Or is he just taking a year off before jumping back in? Lazy when he was here and lazy when he is not.
