Good point. We may be boosting his stock a bit much based on this mcneese state team's record.. heck, morter poser might have thrown up that record in the southland or whatever conference mcneese is.Some have made it sound like Will Wade would be a homerun hire but can someone explain this to me? Even if he didn't have the background/bad reputation that he has, what about his career record (especially at LSU) does this scream "can't miss" guy compared to others that are out there?
Wade record (105-51) at LSU:
Y1- 18-15- no NCAA
Y2- 25-5 (team finished 28-7 but an asst. went 3-2 that season)- 3 seed- lost regional semifinal
Y3- 21-10- no NCAA
Y4- 19-10- 8 seed- lost NCAA 2nd round
Y5- 22-11 (team finished 22-12 but an asst. went 0-1 that season)- 6 seed- lost NCAA first round
Obviously the 25-5 season looks really good but every other year seems to be around where OU has been most of the time the last 10-15 years so how does this hire escalate the program to where a lot of this board seems to think it can go more consistently?
I think we are just desperate for a vastly better record improvement and morter poser hasnt really fine that here.
