Will Wade Departs From NC State For LSU: Who Should Be The Next Coach?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Will Wade leaving NC State for LSU and potential replacements for the Wolfpack.

Will Wade is officially departing NC State after just one season as the head coach of the Wolfpack men’s basketball team to return to Louisiana State University (LSU) as the Tigers’ head coach. LSU fired Matt McMahon to make room for Wade’s return and Wade cited a personal connection to LSU as his reason for leaving. NC State athletic director Boo Corrigan expressed disappointment, noting that he was informed of Wade’s resignation via an email from Wade’s agent just hours after a face‑to‑face meeting in which Wade had reaffirmed his commitment to the program, rather than through direct communication from Wade himself, a development that has drawn widespread frustration and been characterized by many fans and commentators as disrespectful and slimy. What do you think of Will Wade? Who should be the next NC State head coach?
