Les Miles got an extra year when the preceding governor intervened. I is just covering his bases.

But it’s a shame to see a governor getting directly involved in LSU athletics.

Being a fan is fine, helping recruit when needed is fine, but ponying up to a coach for political gain isn’t. We’ve seen it hurt LSU in the past.

If JBE would fire and replace the BOS at LSU I'd vote for him. And that's saying a lot!!!

What a bunch of crap. Coach O knows that any time he can be seen by thousands of people, it's good for the program. I am sure that's all he was thinking.

To my knowledge, you can't just "fire" the BOS on a whim. They're appointed to staggered terms by the sitting governor when a spot comes open. I imagine there are grounds for removal but the governor can't just wipe the slate clean.

wait, Orgeron is a dim cuck?


HAHAHHA


This doesn’t surprise me one bit. This is the same coach who allowed the AD to watch film sessions with the rest of the staff because “Canada was mean.”

What HC with any self respect allows the AD to sit in film sessions to act as a mediator? And frick Alleva for even asking to do this.

JBE Clan bestowed Powerball worth millions upon millions to Orgeron, who was previously unemployable outside of LSU.
It would make sense for him to show some gratitude and support for his current employer.

What an odd melt. I mean, I guess i get it for a politician to be salty about it, but why should your average Joe care?

You think red state Gumps give two shits about Saban being a Dem?

Edwards is the most pro-LSU guvner since the great Huey P.

I knew Coach O was a Democrat when I saw he used a Z in Rosy Finch Boyz

Doubt he is.

He's about self-preservation. There's a reason he thanks and praises Joe Alleva and F. King all the time in press conferences.

He knows who controls his destiny. At LSU, that also includes the Governor.




Self preservation in sports, is staying out of politics, altogether. Just avoid it, and give non answers when asked. You surely don't show up at a fundraiser, essentially endorsing a candidate.

Senator John Kennedy is a complete fake. It is disgusting that he represents us in the US Senate. He needs to focus on his job and not on local events in BR/LSU.

It matters bc O got and will keep the job simply by politicking. Not by his actual resume or performance.
