I seriously doubt he gets rid of her within the first few months on campus but who knows. I'm all for making a run at Mulkey though I don't think she will jump but it can't hurt to entertain it. You never know until you try.

Remember, this guy was a political consultant before he got into college administration. A political consultant knows the value of a big splash move to capture the public's attention.

And this is a layup. You go steal somebody's coach who just won a national championship and has been associated with your university for four years because her son played shortstop for you? Total no-brainer. The only obstacle is money and this cat gives not one shite about that - not to mention he's in a maximum position of leverage to hit up LSU's major donors to go make Mulkey happen.

I do agree with you though. We will see, I have no doubt he will do a good job here and run things correctly. Bottom line is he will go out and try to get the best people for our program like he has done at his other schools.

But the WBB issue is clearly one of the more significant issues that stand out. I'm sure Scott is wondering how the hell she got an extension in October lol

The only problem is Mulkey makes $2 mil a year and just won the National Championship, meaning she’s getting a raise.
Look, I like Mulkey as well, but there is no way you can justify paying your Women’s Basketball Coach $2.5-&3 mil a year. Hell Will Wade only makes $2.5 a year and the men’s basketball program doesn’t hemorrhage money, it turns a profit.

I’m sorry, but Women’s Basketball will never turn a profit. It just won’t. The same reason WNBA will never make as much money as the NBA. Just from a basic economic standpoint it would not be a smart move. There has to be a solid ROI.

I’d rather LSU hire 20 more analysts for football than throw upwards of $3 mil at a Women’s Basketball Coach.
