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•77 months

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

Outboard•77 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•77 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•77 months

Didnt know kirby was here. What was he doing?

alumni95•77 months

Kirby was DB coach in 2004

lsulaker•77 months

I loved Emmert

Lexman1•77 months

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

lsulaker•77 months

He was our chancellor

Deltatiger•77 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•77 months

Herb should be commish.

"COACH U.''

tigerpawl•77 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•77 months

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

emanresu•77 months

Left off Dooley. Must have been oversight.

ScootiniTiger•77 months

That list says a lot about LSU.

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

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

Martini•77 months

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

SamuelClemens•77 months

LSU_Tiger_4•77 months

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

ParkSlopeTiger•77 months

ThaFreakyRobber•77 months

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

Blind Zebras•77 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•77 months

idiot

LSU Coyote•77 months

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