Hill's a bad dude anyway. Want no freaking part of him.Perhaps this is all much about nothing. But if Matty-boy didn't like the negative talk on social media, etc, wait to what happens if he leaves his beloved alma matter two years into a rebuild for a freaking job at LSU. I'd duck before walking back into Shea.

Hope they didn't tell Matt to bring his offer to them before he chooses. That never works. An intelligent organization jumps in and closes the deal. RIGHT NOW !

Quote from: Marillac on March 21, 2017, 01:24:10 PMWill Wade has now accepted three head coaching jobs in 4 years and Matt A didn't go with him the first two...why now? LSU is a tough gig. It's a distant third sport (basketball drew less than 9,000 fans per game in 15-16 while LSU baseball tallied nearly 500,000 fans for the season) in a self-proclaimed "drinking town with a football problem." Matt A's recruiting base is the northeast...LSU needs someone with deep connections to Baton Rouge, NOLA, Texas, and Florida. It's one thing to get northeast kids out to a basketball school like Iowa St. but a very different thing to get them down to a football school in a swamp in the deep south. This sounds an awful lot like Matt feeding info for his own benefit. Are you asking why Matt would consider joining Wade at LSU but not Chatanooga or VCU? $$$$At Iowa State Matt has proven he could recruit to anywhere, and he's also one of the best in the business at playing the transfer game, which won't be hard to do at LSU.If LSU is serious about turning their basketball program into a contender, they can offer Matt more $$ than our administration would match. With that type of financial resources and facilities, it would be far from difficult to succeed there.

With that type of financial resources and facilities, it would be far from difficult to succeed there.VCU was a better job than LSU and SJU two years ago with the talented roster Shaka left behind. It was an obvious trampoline gig to get to a great job. If Wade likes Matt so much, he could have offered him a higher assistant position than he has here. Matt leaks things to the press when it benefits him to do so. Why would this be any different? I'd like Matt to remain here because I like his creative approach to recruiting...it is exactly what we need to get this program back on its feet.
I have a million reasons why it isn't.
