I don’t see how they can’t correct this unless our money people are not willing due to Scott’s buyout fest.
Which as much as I love lsu MBB if the price of that is the Lane train winning titles then so be it.

Scott had us way behind one point on NIL despite his silly NILSU ads in Times Square. Scott was playing by the letter of the law all while others were playing in where we all knew it would go. LSU has since corrected it.
I agree, but he caught up and set the table for what we have now. Or at least put the people in place who did it.
He definitely undid himself with the meddling, which was completely unnecessary. He basically fired himself. But the situation left behind is far better than what Dean left and better financially than what we had after Alleva, even with the contract buyouts. The spending we are seeing right now adequately proves that.

I knew the disparity in coaching and overall conference performance very well. The fact that all of you blindly dismiss it is hilarious.

I’m sure they will move on, but I don’t expect a name hire. It just needs to be the right up and comer this time. That’s what Wade was when he came here.

He beat them in legion field not Bryant Denny.

Basketball does have its own seperate big boosters but yea if it’s not Wade I don’t think it will be a name hire.
I do think LSU has the resources especially when properly motivated by a coach the boosters believe in to successfully fund football, basketball and baseball.

Unless lsusports its self has it wrong it was BDS. I remember it pretty well but looked it up.

You could look on his face going in at halftime and after the the game and see he knows what’s coming. I felt confident we would win till I saw Thomas come out in street cloths. McMahon will land on his feet but I can’t see it happening here.
Posted on 2/8/26 at 8:03 pm to GeauxtigersMs36
I’ll be shocked if Thomas plays again for us. Which has become a MM staple that our best players either never start the season or don’t finish it

My mistake.

That was just a response to the hyperbole of the OP. We’ve had multiple coaches as bad or worse in multiple sports, not just basketball. He’s not good. He’s just not the worst coach in program history. People said the same shite about BK and it wasn’t true for him, either. Just fire them and move on without being so damn over-emotional about it.
I’ll admit Jones was a bit of a straw man, but he’s still not a good coach and where he’s coaching now with no offers to move up adequately demonstrates what his level is. It’s similar to McMahon’s at Murray St, although the SWAC is a far worse league, overall.

I’m pretty sure we have played bama at legion field at least a few times.
Of course it would be like 40 years ago but seems wild that games were being played off campus
Though thinking about it until semi recently we did play arky in Little Rock. Kinda of a by gone era of college football having bama, arky ole miss all playing multiple games not at their main campus

Good grief. Let it go.

Poor MM can’t even be the worst coach of all time, gotta settle for modern era only. Another loss for him

At some point, the NCAA instituted rules limiting the ability to recruit the same way using neutral site games, even if they are obviously home games in the same state. That was the death-knell for big games, especially SEC games, being handled this way. The MS and Alabama schools both stopped for this reason. I’m surprised UGA and UF still do it.

Misey name who was worse with a compelling argument to prove it!

McCreary and Maravich just in basketball were just as bad
False.
McCreary had 2 seasons that were equivalent to McMahon's best season and 3 more that were better than McMahon's 2nd best season.
Press Maravich inherited Frank Truitt's abysmal team in an era where you couldn't start over every year. Only his first season was as bad as a typical McMahon season. His last was the only other one not comparable or better than McMahon's best season.
Their overall records are worse because they didn't stuff the OOC schedule with the dregs of division 1 like McMahon does -- and because LSU didn't allow black players on the team, which says something about how "modern" your comparisons are.

The stupidity was giving him such a long contract from the start

I said before in an earlier post, but Jay McCreary (58-65) had a .360 win percentage in what was a pretty weak SEC outside of UK and a couple of others. His best finish was tied for 4th, but still had a losing record that season, which illustrates my point of how weak the league was pretty well. If you go back through the records, there were never more than 3-5 good to decent teams at the top of the league in those years, so posting those records while playing 6-8 mediocre to bad teams every year is a level below what’s happening here right now.
There is also a case to be made that Press Maravich wasn’t any better. He had a .417 win percentage, but that was bolstered by one season. The fact that he had one of the best players of all fricking time in a similarly weak SEC doesn’t help his case. LSU obviously wasn’t investing in hoops when these two coached, but that doesn't absolve them any more than it does McMahon right now.
It’s a very low bar, but it still means McMahon isn’t what the OP claimed. But he is still the worst in a long time and he obviously needs to go.

Both of them operated in an SEC that routinely had 6-8 mediocre to bad teams, yet they turned in 1 quality season with an NIT birth between the two of them over 14 years. They managed 4 seasons out of 14 over .500 with only one of them over 2 games over .500. And Maravich had 3 years of Pete to work with. Give me a fricking break.
