If we were going to get hammered we would sit out the tournament. Since we are going to play in the tournament it means Scott wants to hire a new basketball coach. I do trust Scott to make an good hire. However, I have enjoyed wade’s time here and I know he’s a great HC and will get another sec or acc job and will make it a point to embarrass us every time he plays us. I’m all LSU but my second favorite team will be whatever team he coaches

NCAAs Emmert demanded his pound of flesh from Woodward so Wade is the sacrificial lamb to not go scorched earth on LSU. Been the plan all along.

Did you read the list of violations. WW left the administration no options. He was dumber than a bag of hammers in what he did.

I really don’t see any punishments coming down on the programs. I think by them firing Wade and completely cleaning house is going to help a lot but the NCAA will be watching us very closely. Good thing we have coaches with integrity now.

Scott believes paying players is worse than raping and beating women. Keep in mind LSU paid O a full buyout and still employees an employee that helped cover up a rape and beating.

LSU has a major public relations issue.

If you think he's going to get a big time job anytime soon you haven't been paying attention to current events.

Why are you laughing?

Bruce pearl is coaching at auburn despite multiple times of having ncaa troubles and shady dealings.

Will Wade will be at a solid job again in 7 or 8 years and win and win big.


Doesn’t mean I don’t agree with firing him.

He will never get another college head coaching job. The only things worse then what he did is if he had covered up a murder like Dave Bliss or bet on LSU games. Frankly, he isnt a very good coach and nobody is going to take a chance on him.

He could have fired him in 2019.

It’s insane and the Scotty dick riders will never admit it.

Scott sucks at timing, you fire wade on the eve of the NCAA run.

You fire O after beating UF while the week before he got blasted. You had a chance to fire the Buffon for cause after ucla shirt comment and camp video came out.

You had a chance in the spring to fire for title ix violations.

Instead he waits until mid season and pays him every last cent. He didn’t even get it down a little.

Plus verge staying after being involved in the title ix shite and can’t event get his kids to the team.

Scott can throw money and big contracts around but he doesn’t seem to do much else. He hasn’t made the fan experience any better.

Wade won’t be able to coach any time soon. NCAA will slap a show cause on him for 5 Years, with 3 of those for pure stupidity. The head coach sent money from a PERSONAL bank account to influence a recruit. 3

Show cause willl be minimum 10 years. Based on similar punishments in recent years.

Not to mention the scapegoat for all the ills of college hoops pre-Nil. Could not afford to come out strong against the cash cows - hell at Duke they are throwing tearful goodbye parties for K like nothing's happened there.

Anyone that actually read the NOA and thinks Woodward had any other option but fire Wade is just refusing to understand the situation.

I understand the argument that he isn’t doing anything different than other schools do but the fact is he did it stupidly and got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. That’s on Wade and he won’t be able to coach in college basketball again for a long time.

Then you don’t understand how contracts work. Wades contract was reworked for this very scenario
