It's pretty debatable if you look at his SEC record. Who do you think was worse in the past 30 years at least?

Let him flail about for the next 3 games 2 guaranteed loses ( also 2 on the road). Then cut him loose ahead of the Alabama game.

Wait so why did they fire Kelly mid season. And looks like that didn't scare away Kiffin!!!

It’s funny how you had the sunshine pumpers saying he was great when we were barely beating cupcake teams before SEC play

It’s no different than how I viewed BK. You are getting paid millions of dollars. It’s sinful to be this bad. I don’t give a rat’s arse about him being “a nice guy who knows ball.” F him get him the hell out of here now.

This is how I feel about it. LSU isn't paying him to be a nice guy, they're paying him to win and he not only hasn't won, he's been abysmal and has sunk this program to one of its lowest points ever.

I'm not sure he's ever done anything to try and build up excitement around the program. No engagement with the fans and just a bland personality all around. As a college coach, you're supposed to be the face of that program and it's just something he's never embraced.

If Verge doesn't take MBB seriously, then he doesn't need to be AD at a place like LSU. I understand football comes first at LSU, but you're running an athletic department and have an obligation to the other sports as well. We'll see how he handles it, but I'm not sure how much confidence we should have with Verge outside of his football hire.

He’s the worst coach of all time in any major sport at LSU, and before someone says Curley was worse you’re wrong because he beat an undefeated, top 5 Bama team in Bryant Denny. McPoop’s best win was falling arse backwards into a win against Arky his very first SEC game ever and it’s been downhill since.


He’s a mid-major coach who can’t cut it in the current SEC. But you are a fricking idiot for putting him and Curley in the same sentence because of one fricking fluky-arse upset. There have been multiple coaches at LSU worse than McMahon, with at least two being in basketball covering stretches where the SEC wasn’t even remotely close to being as good as it is today.

You are just one of many prisoners of the moment on this board. McMahon needs to be fired and replaced, but that doesn’t make the constant hyperbole here any less brain-dead.

In the modern era of basketball so brown on MM is by far the worst and least accomplished of our coaches.

It’s not even close at all with how bad MM has been.

Brown had his success, Brady a final four, a sweet 16 multiple trips to the tourny, TJ had a sec title and trip to tourny. JJ outside of his last season had a tourny trip and better teams.

No need to even discuss how much better Wade is.

He is easily in curly territory


Baseball doesn’t have anyone near his level unless we go to before Bertman. Football has Curly.


In football even Archer had some success before bottoming out.

MM has literally had no success his best year was a 500 year in the sec and then being dumped from the nit in embarrassing fashion so I’d call that basically a 5 win football season, his other seasons have been basically if football won 0 sec games and maybe two non conference games

Teams aren’t forced to make moves early in basketball because its calendar isn’t completely fricked like in football. There isn’t a need to signal a change in the program until the regular season is over. In football, you have the end of recruiting, ESD and then the opening of the portal all looming within two to eight weeks from a hire.

Jones coached in an SEC that wasn’t as good or deep, especially in terms of coaching. He was a better recruiter, but underperformed just as badly considering the better talent level and lesser competition. He was a fricking atrocious coach on the P4 level. Him backing his arse into one berth doesn’t change that.

What does it matter, anyway? He’s getting fired. The hand-wringing and hyperbole is pointless, especially with a new President and AD who have every reason to make a move to their own guy now. As with the Kiffin situation- everyone needs to just sit the frick back and let it play out.

You’re trying to say that 2 coaches who’ve won the SEC, made multiple tourneys and won 20 games multiple times are worse than a guy who wins 24% of his conf games, can’t come close to making the dance and has never even won 3 SEC games in a row? Thats just objectively incorrect.

He did coach in a slightly easier sec but his record is glaringly better. His worst year is the MM average, his best year and second best year dunk on MMs best.

It’s all semantics but MM has been so bad that he deserves to be fired and he has a damn good argument to be the worst coach in our modern era for our major sports along with Curly.

Hey man MM is nice so we shouldn’t use objective stats like sec titles, tourny appearances, conf win percent to say he is worse than two bumps on a log called TJ and JJ.

The sad truth for the McMen is since about 1980 the only coach in our 3 sports we care about to be this big of a failure is MM and the only other argument is Curly.


Curly still has a slightly better win percentage in sec games than poor ole MM. he also had two 5-6 seasons, while MM has a NIT arse whipping.

frick I feel disgusting even having to look at curlys record

It’s just the usual low info crowd wish casting. I also love the “much tougher era” double standard which is also objectively false. These people just flail around desperately trying to defend this guy. No coach in any sport has ever been coddled this way, especially one who loses so much.

No LSU coach has ever been made excuses for like MM.

Smoke wishes the LSU baseball crowd was like this

This team has actually played a little better on the road. I don't know why that is, but they beat SC and were in games at A&M and Arky until the end of those games.

I only said Johnny Jones, who would get similarly fricking crushed in the current SEC, in terms of coaches since Brown. Trying to prop him up as being a decent coach and completely ignoring any context of the time is just more recency bias.

The 2nd was in response to the OP saying McMahon was the worst coach across any sport in program history. Forget other sports. McCreary and Maravich just in basketball were just as bad, and that’s just since WW2. And those records were in an SEC that was nothing but UK and a bunch of teams that didn’t give a shite.

McMahon is in over his head here, but he will probably do what Johnny Jones has done- go back to a mid or low major and win again. Thats his level. That’s another reason I see those two as pretty comparable when adjusting for the difficulty of the SEC right now.
