I’m curious to see who The Rant has at the Top.

1. Scott Woodward
2. Skip Bertman
3. Joe Dean
4. Bob Broadhead
5. Joe Alleva

I honestly don’t remember much from Broadheads time.

Woodward
Broadhead/Skip
Alleva
Dean

Broadhead would be a clear #2 and maybe #1 if he wasn’t such a paranoid psycho. His vision was incredible but he sabotaged himself. Skip was really a useful idiot, LSU needed him to usher in the football ticket prices, tradition fund, etc. They knew LSU fans wouldn’t revolt against him.

Alleva’s main problem was execution. He was a good ideas guy but wasn’t capable of executing. Fire Les and hire Jimbo, the nutrition center, beer at games, hire Pat Murphy as softball coach. A whole list of things he couldn’t actually do.

Dean was a cheap, worthless shitbag.

Skip oversaw the beginning of the death of tailgating.

1-Woodward
2-Bob Broadhead
3-Skip
4-Alleva
5-Joe “String Music” Dean

The younger fans who don’t remember Joe Dean, he was a complete and total disaster.

He had a hit and run in Southdowns when he hit a car at a Stop sign and drove off.

He was ogling the Girls on Sorority Row one day and drove his car into the lake.

He backed into a BRPD car when leaving a Baseball Regional and drive to a Tennis Match across Campus. The cops followed the idiot all the way to the Tennis Stadium with Lights flashing & Sirens blaring.

Joe Dean hired Curley Hallman. He defended Curley until Forced to fire him.
Curley won 16 games in 4 years and damn near destroyed LSU Football.

Joe Dean hired Pat Sullivan from TCU to replace Curley Hallman. Sullivan was already announced as LSU’s Head Coach and had gone back to TCU to resign and talk to his team. TCU wanted a 400k buyout and Pat Sullivan told Joe Dean. Joe Dean refused to pay the buyout and Sullivan stayed at TCU. What kind of an AD
goes through a hiring process without discussing a buyout clause?

Following the Sullivan botched hire. Joe Dean had to go “hat in hand” to Gerry Dinardo and offer him the job just 2 days after Dinardo removed his name from consideratíon. What if Dinardo had declined? Joe Dean was a buffoon.

Joe Dean refused to let Dale Brown go which allowed Dale to drag LSU Basketball down before Brown finally was ousted.

There was a lot more but this will give anyone unfamiliar with this bumbling moron
just how bad and incompetent he truly was.

Lol 2 for Skip? I love what he did for baseball but he was a terrible AD.

It should be Broadhead/Woodward then the rest. Woodward may be on the path for the best but it's too early to rate him. The rest were terrible. Plain and simple. Ranking Broadhead 4 on your list is an absolute slap in the face unless you're ranking by personalities.

Broadhead was the GOAT. Was about to can Dale Brown and Dale got the politicians to run him out of town.
Broadhead got Bill Arnspargar and Skip to come here and had our budget in the black which was a big deal back in those days

Broadhead - woke the monster and hired Bertman, Gunter, Arnsbarger, Seemes (who won a Natty that kicked-off Henry the next season)

Dean - Saban, Henry, TAF

Alleva - O (throwing up), Wade

Bertman - Miles, let Pat Henry walk.

Woodward TBD

Bertman followed Dean which made Bertman look like an all-star.

“We are excited about the opportunity to present this new logo,” LSU Director of Athletics Skip Bertman said. “I congratulate the committee for this design. I think our new logo is outstanding.”
