Yeah she swam for Texas, she was awesome. She would have been a senior this past year so I assume she graduated. She was always really smart

Did she ever do anything worth reading about at Texas?

An attractive, articulate young lady. Les and Kathy should be proud.

Maybe im feeling a little nostalgic after hearing her talk about Les but really would like to see him somewhere in LSU athletics and the family stick around to support the P&G

Certainly that was a very quality interview. You can see she has a want for sports media. She would be a very capable sports journalist.

I know I'm getting off track (and this has been discussed eleventy billion times), but I don't see any negatives with sticking him in Austin Thomas' spot when he moves on. Couldn't really cause issues with the team since it's an "administrative" position. But the man can recruit. Obviously it depends on tons of "what ifs" but it seems like the best fit if a job at LSU were to benefit both parties.

I'm still shocked he hasn't found a coaching job. The media and a bunch of LSU fans think LSU was crazy to fire him. He's always been a great guy and you can tell he's a really good dad. Hope the best for the Mad Hatter.

She's the opposite of her Dad in terms of poise and vocabulary in front of a microphone.

Holy shite! If you were in charge of LSU the entire university would be gone in five years.

While most of the "Normal" (Not related to a Coach or Player) Journalism graduates will have to struggle to find decent jobs in their field or employment completely unrelated to their degree. Fact.

certainly true, but they also do not have the insight into the business that she has gained by growing up in the family of an elite coach and also being a college athlete herself. can't penalize her for being a coach's daughter.

From her statements it seems like he's just waiting for the right spot.

But of course our fans are going to sit here and rip the man because they think a team like Purdue didn't want him. But if I was him, I'd take my money LSU owes me and wait for a better job.

Have you seen the majority of sideline reporters these days? They are good looking females. Gone are the days of shoving some fat mouth breather down there or a homely looking female that actually might be better at their job.

Now I don't know how her career will turn out, but seems like she's got an idea of the type of show she wants to do. She was/is a college athlete and graduated from a pretty darn good University.
