heat from AD....


Actually, it had little to do with the AD. It was moreso the LSU BOS, which was constantly meddling. Carl Maddox reached mandatory retirement age and was out as AD. Maddox supported Mac. The BOS brought Dietzel in to can Mac. No long thereafter, he would meet the same fate as the BOS would fire him at a meeting in Alexandria and later hire Brodhead as AD.
