Report – Shaka Smart’s VCU Replacement Already Gone
After Shaka Smart left VCU for Texas Basketball two years ago, Will Wade became the new VCU head coach.
Now, two years later, Will Wade is already gone from the VCU program.
Wade reportedly agreed to a deal with LSU, who fired head coach Johnny Jones after a miserable season in Baton Rouge.
According to ESPN, it took a six-year deal for Wade to leave the Rams for Tigers. The decision came a few days after the Rams lost in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament.
It points to the unfortunate byproduct of the NCAA Tournament – when teams lose on the first weekend, coaches start looking around at the available jobs.
