Why is the interim even having a press conference? When will this madness stop?

They BOS guy is saying they want to find a coach before an AD


The proper sequence would be find a university president, then an AD then a coach.

But it’s Louisiana so they will do it arse backwards

President will be announced Tuesday, they said.

There are 3 candidates, 2 men, and 1 woman.

It was pretty disheartening. Every question was a “lets see who wants to try to answer this without putting their foot in their mouth too bad? John, you wanna take this?”

The governor did nobody any favors behaving like an arse and running his mouth. Everything now appears to be reacting instead of asserting a public plan of action.

what a joke



That really is a joke.

I heard his press conference this morning when they introduced him as interim AD and he gave a speech about himself as if he was actually getting the real job.

He also struggles to speak clear English, like Landry.

It's really a shame.

I thought it would be prudent to just sign off this board for a month thinking I wouldn't miss anything. Man, was I wrong.

The most entertaining part is, with every LSU PR blunder, some posters acting like this won’t matter in signing a top-tier coach. Ironically, I think these will be the same people who will come on here and passionately defend a Sumrall-type hire.

They all very clearly lack media training. Just a poor decision to address a complex situation.
