LSU fires Will Wade

Look for a lot of Tiger Droppings posts on Message Board Geniuses Twitter account. Gonna be some hot ones I imagine
 
Okay. The firing makes sense. No argument there. But, the timing?

They could have done this years ago with all of the shady stuff he wasn't getting into. Now, they fire him the day before Selection Sunday? Seems odd. Guess the NOA confirmed what everyone already kind of knew.

I agree. This reeks of damage control.

The reason for the timing is pretty clear. He has a contract clause that he could be terminated if found to have committed a level one or level two infraction. By waiting until the notice of allegations comes through, they can push and not pay him a dime of his remaining contract if they want.
 
Does any team take a chance on him going forward?

Pearl got a job, but what Wade did was worse.

Tough to say. I assume he gets a lengthy show-cause. I don’t think another Power 5 takes a chance for a long time. I wonder if he’d have to go D2 or G League. Not sure he won enough to justify his dirt.
