Dear Tiger Fans,
Skip Bertman's raison d'être as AD was to usher in tradition fees and make across the board ticket price increases palatable. The powers that be needed a bulletproof messenger for such a drastic new message. Other than giving himself a bullshite deal so he could hire his buddy Smoke, he wasn't really all that hands on with our athletic department.

We once had Emmert as chancellor, Bertman as athletic director, Dan Radokovich as associate athletic director and Herb Vincent as associate athletic director .... all at one time.

Nick Saban is the best thing to happen to LSU. He instilled a winning mentality that was largely absent. LSU should have made him an offer that he couldn't refuse.

He let the best coach in the history of college football walk...
Yeah he was real great as an AD.

Wait, you know he, in a fit of "how dare you", passed on waiting a day for Jack Del Rio and rushed to hire a boob?
Seems very similar to "how dare you want to hear out Texas", I'm hiring a boob in 15 minutes, set the presser for noon.

More importantly, he didn't let Saban come back. He swallows a little pride and LSU goes down as the best football program of all time.

Billy Cannon. He TRIPLED season ticket sales and created the modern monster that is LSU football.

This is why Emmert left, good ole baws wanted to install Skip vs do a real search.
People forget he left under a cloud around his continuing his baseball camp as AD, they made up some bs fund raising position for him to save face.
We have come full circle, political hacks leading LSU, BOS meddling = mediocrity forthcoming.

Skip had an ego too....a pretty big one and he got tired of taking butt chewings.
He says we had no shot to keep him here, but I heard differently.

Miles = yes, Skip gets the credit
Saban = Nope, Mark Emmert hired Saban
Skip as an AD was a disaster......he ran off Saban, Pokey, Pat Henry (the most successful coach in all of college sports). Skip was jealous of Pat Henry the entire time he was coaching baseball (I'm not saying Skip had a reason to be jealous. Skip was an amazing baseball coach). Pat Henry was getting upgrades to Bernie Moore stadium while Skip was slugging it out (literally) at old Alex Box. Also, Skip disliked "a little" attention being diverted from him toward Pat Henry's success. Sorrry to tell the truth to all of you Skip = Jesus folks....but sometimes the truth hurts.

Saban was leaving regardless of who was AD at the time. NFL fame and fortune were too much for his ego to resist.
