The most important thing to remember is that Skip put those guys together. That's what a good AD will do for a univ's programs.

beantown•102 months

Was going to say this. Skip knew greatness when he saw it.

Outboard•102 months

Skip did not hire any of those guys do some research. Skip did not become AD until 2001. Emmert hired Saban, Saban hired the coaches and I'm sure Emmert hired Woodard and Radakovich.

TriDitty•102 months

Skip or Emmert, it still took a good AD to put things together. The focus of my statement was mainly directed at the not-so-good AD that LSU has right now.

luciouslou•102 months

Didnt know kirby was here. What was he doing?

alumni95•101 months

Kirby was DB coach in 2004

lsulaker•102 months

I loved Emmert

Lexman1•102 months

Emmert was a good AD. That’s why he was promoted to NCAA President. Skip also did a great job as AD.

lsulaker•102 months

He was our chancellor

Deltatiger•102 months

Didn't he work for NASA at some point?

Herb Vincent was our SID. LSU fans were extremely informed when he was here. I remember listening to an LSU Baseball game in February 1996 and he announced LSU was getting an East Upper Deck during the broadcast. Pretty awesome.

TigerSpray•102 months

Herb should be commish.

TigerSpray•102 months

"COACH U.''

tigerpawl•102 months

Thank you, Joe Dean, for hiring Nick Saban in 1999, and accomplishing the monumental task of lifting a 3-8 program to a Championship level.

Lexman1•102 months

Actually, Emmert hired Saban. And, as pointed out to me, he was our chancellor, not AD.

emanresu•102 months

Left off Dooley. Must have been oversight.

ScootiniTiger•102 months

That list says a lot about LSU.

MandevilleLSUFanatic•102 months

I have a 2004 National Championship Football signed by Saban, Fisher, Muschamp, Smart and Dooley!!! One of my favorite memorabilia’s

Tchefuncte Tiger•102 months

Dan Radakovich (Clemson AD) - Let's home we can lure him away from Clemson!

Martini•102 months

Scott Woodward will be next AD. Catholic High and LSU grad. He’s being groomed for it.

SamuelClemens•102 months

Derek Dooley not so impressive

LSU_Tiger_4•102 months

Is this the same Jordan Meisner that was a big time recruit at one point?

ParkSlopeTiger•102 months

So does that makes us smart or stupid given none work for us currently?

lsu480•102 months

ThaFreakyRobber•102 months

LSU fans stay living in the past & wonder why they irrelevant! Might as well bring back Dale Brown you at it.

Blind Zebras•102 months

Not sure why only downvotes. This is truth. Let’s talk about guys from over a decade ago where none are still here. Meanwhile we have Dufus and dufus Jr now. What I think when I see this list is What a joke lsu has become.

eugene1928LSU•102 months

idiot

LSU Coyote•102 months

Totally agree. LSU is such an average program with someone who will never get respect leading the charge.
