The way he bashes LSU is what you expect from Finebaum who is a lot nicer to LSU:

He is really trying to make sure LSU doesn't hire a good coach.

He applied for the voice of the Tigers job and got denied. Had an ax to grind with our admin ever since. I would say who gives a shite but he is actually damaging the brand a bit I would think.

He's not. Port City isn't an LSU fan base at this point.

Yet I still see around 80% percent of Shreveport repping LSU.

he's being very non professional with this thing.

I think he's desperate as his world aint' what it used to be so he's turned scumbag to get attention.

I actually agreed with about 90% of what he said.

Huh? This is essentially the sentiment of this entire board:
quote:

“That was the only time they ever opened it up,” Brando said. “The moment Mettenberger was gone and Jennings and Brandon Harris got there, they became Pitch-Back U again. And while Leonard Fournette is an extraordinary talent, they were trying to play the game in a phone book and it was simply not going to work. So schematically and from a football standpoint, what happened this past week is, I think, understandable and expected. The issue for LSU, however, is far deeper than just that. . . . They have problems with leadership. The athletic director there is a mere puppet for donors. The president of the university got in the way of them (potentially) hiring Jimbo Fisher at the end of last year. Trust me when I tell you Jimmy Sexton played them like a violin for Jimbo. They had the deal. But then F. King Alexander, the president of the university who is concerned about images and impressions and the way it would look during the economic downturn of higher education in the state of Louisiana, he gets in the way, sort of nixes the situation, and, oh, by the way, they’ve got no Plan B. They’re not going to be able to get Jimbo Fisher, those negotiations break down as a result and they’ve got no Plan B. They basically had Les twisting in the wind since he lost the game with Alabama.”

Brando called LSU’s late-season change of heart regarding Miles last year a “charade.”

He doesn’t know who the Tigers’ next head coach will be, but he doesn’t think it’ll be Tom Herman, who will have the option to coach just about anywhere.

“Why would you want to work at a place where your AD or your president could be out of there within a year or two, or you’re going to be working for incompetent people who are going to be getting in your way?” Brando asked. “You don’t need that.”

Also the sentiment of this entire board is that Herman should become LSU HC.

Brando is just pointing out that there are some not so attractive parts to the LSU job. I think that is a fair assessment. Would you want to work for F. King and Alleva?

He's discussing two different topics and combining them into one in a nonsensical way.

Sure, the administration botched the firing of Miles (maybe-and I think that is even debatable). But he doesn't argue Miles didn't deserve it. Miles was here for 12 years and was fully in charge of a Top 5 program.

So, if you're Herman or Fisher, you may come here and have 10 or 12 good years. But if you deserve to get fired, the administration may make it awkward. You would still get fired even if it were cleanly done, but Alleva and Co. might make it weird.

So don't come if you don't want your justified firing, should it occur, to be awkward.

Um ok.

I get this part being dumb, but there is nothing wrong with suggesting that Alleva and King are not exactly fan favorites and Alleva could be on the outs if things struggle in baseball and basketball too. Alleva and King are not exactly the most competent bosses in the world.

He did not apply for the job, it was his former producer Patrick Netherton who is the voice of Northwestern St.

Some out there not happy how Miles got chopped so soon this season, but hell what did they expect?? It would have been torture to go through that the whole season.
