Amazing that Woodward fires Wade as soon as he can but Verge remains employed

It is beyond pathetic that Woodward throws his weight around with Wade while completely turning a blind eye to the more horrific and disgusting things Verge permitted and hid.

That is my major issue with him, and say a lot about what’s wrong with Woodward.

Wade had to be fired at some point but the quickness and way it is done when a guy that protected a sexual assaulter is pretty effed up.

Verge is a political decision as is Wade. This is how LSU operates. Everyone should know this by now. The seeping corrupt cesspool that is Louisiana politics runs LSU.

Wade needed to be fired, but Verge needed to be shite-canned years ago. He must really know where the bodies are buried.

Verge will never be shown the door. He legitimately knows dirt on everyone and you better believe if he is ever fired there’s a lot of people going down with him. ..

All the positions of power have changed and yet he remains.
Politics maybe? The missus is a Morial - that would make for a juicy conspiracy theory, huh?

It’s Louisiana. You’re bulletproof if you know the right people. Refusing to trim fat like this keeps the state and the university down.

Verge didn’t pay players nor did he rape or sexually assaulted anyone! They gave Wade 4 years so he didn’t pull the trigger quickly. Woodward let it play out. U are comparing apples to oranges! And verge didn’t have anything to do with sexual assault cases. He was mishandled the drake davis case with domestic abuse.

This is called a Red Herring.

I can't argue that Wade isn't guilty, so let's talk about somebody irrelevant to the case who is even guiltier!

Oh, and make sure he's black. Because like you all said in an earlier thread, "we all know" why he hasn't been fired.

Things aren’t necessarily rosy. There’s cleaning up to do and changes to make. Woodward and Ausberry are planning to conduct a full-scale evaluation of the athletic department. The two administrators are close, so close that Ausberry’s sons call Woodward Uncle Scotty. Their relationship dates back to their jogging days together in the 1990s, when Ausberry was an academic adviser, not yet promoted to athletics, and Woodward was a political lobbyist, not yet hired by Emmert as an LSU academic administrator.


From 2019 SI article

It also explains how Woodward was a lobbyist & how well connected he is

Everything is political
Everything is handled by favors
Everyone is greedy & will cover their own arse first

Verge obviously knows where 100% of the bodies are buried.

Verge is dug in politically and the national guard couldn’t get him out. To his credit, he never liked Miles or aleva.

Verge may be a bad guy and may have done bad things, but he can at least mount a defense for himself, regardless of how silly or unbelievable.

This is the issue that the Wade Fan Boys dont understand. Verge, Bill Self, Coach K, etc all have plausible deniability. Wade has no such luxury bc he operated in a sloppy manner driven by immaturity, stupidity or hubris.

Because Wade has no plausible deniability, Woodward had no alternative other than to fire him.

Would be nice to see a local reporter pose the question to Woody about why Verge still has his job. There will always be a dark cloud following Verge while he's here.

Verge can sit there however long he wants because he can take down the school.

Was Verge named in the NOA?

Verge was named in the Title IX stuff. The difference here is that firing him and a few others creates potential hostile witnesses in upcoming civil suits. Now you see why CEO got his full buyout...

As bad as you may think the CWW issue is there is no legal issue to LSU other than our sanctioning bodies SEC/NCAA leveling revenue crippling penalties if he stays...

Verge was a fall guy. Wade was a bag guy. One is after the fact and can be shifted, one is before the fact and can't be changed.

Verge isn’t a high profile head coach of a major college team of any kind
