Will Wade to Grenada, without the lake? Does he have a show cause or similar sanction?

Are we missing the obvious joy here?!!?? That school is tanking in one of the three major sports and will be looking for a new bad hire to fail them. And they are in the running to finish DEAD LAST!! Ain't it GRAND!!
There are rumors Will Wade wants that job. I’m sure that would really rile up the LSU fanbase considering they went from being solid with Wade to last in the SEC
Personally I hoped Kermit won enough to stay there. He?s not a guy that scares me at all so I won?t find joy in his firing as there is probably a 75% or greater chance they do better.
It is pretty baffling how he went from SEC Coach of the Year his first season to where he is now. He inherited a ton of talent that first year with T. Davis and Tyree.
The thing is, Kermit can recruit. Murrell was a top 50 recruit. Ruffin is a top 50 recruit. Amaree Abram was a pretty big recruit. He just can?t develop or coach, I suppose.
I wouldn’t mind Kermit knocking off Florida tomorrow night. Then we beat UK and Ole Miss and UK loses to Tennessee. I think that would really knock UK and UF far down and we should make the tournament if we just protect our home court after that
Well and he's lost the locker room there. I still firmly believe they all expected him to get fired last year and once he wasn't he never won the team back. I don't necessarily believe Kermit is a bad coach. He obviously can recruit and I think he's an average floor coach, but his best Middle teams relied on 4th or 5th year players and in the SEC your best players are just not staying that long. Another thing that hurts him is the transfers he's brought in haven't done anything and the guys that left the program have produced and been effective at their second school.
Do they try to hire Andy Kennedy back?
Their problem is that the guy they want....Beard....can't be hired. He's still facing felony charges and those are not going to be resolved until probably sometime this summer at the earliest. The next guy on their list is Will Wade. His stuff with the NCAA is not going to be resolved one way or the other until probably April. I think the hire is going to be Dusty May at FAU or Pat Kelsey at CofC. May doesn't scare me at all. Kelsey scares me a bit because he's 10x the floor coach of Kermit, and he's probably around the same type of recruiter. However, I think Carter is going to roll the dice and attempt to hire Will Wade, even though I've heard he has a standing deal with Wichita St if the NCAA stuff gets resolved without a show cause.
