The younger fans who don’t remember Joe Dean, he was a complete and total disaster.

He had a hit and run in Southdowns when he hit a car at a Stop sign and drove off.

He was ogling the Girls on Sorority Row one day and drove his car into the lake.

He backed into a BRPD car when leaving a Baseball Regional and drive to a Tennis Match across Campus. The cops followed the idiot all the way to the Tennis Stadium with Lights flashing & Sirens blaring.

Joe Dean hired Curley Hallman. He defended Curley until Forced to fire him.
Curley won 16 games in 4 years and damn near destroyed LSU Football.

Joe Dean hired Pat Sullivan from TCU to replace Curley Hallman. Sullivan was already announced as LSU’s Head Coach and had gone back to TCU to resign and talk to his team. TCU wanted a 400k buyout and Pat Sullivan told Joe Dean. Joe Dean refused to pay the buyout and Sullivan stayed at TCU. What kind of an AD
goes through a hiring process without discussing a buyout clause?

Following the Sullivan botched hire. Joe Dean had to go “hat in hand” to Gerry Dinardo and offer him the job just 2 days after Dinardo removed his name from consideratíon. What if Dinardo had declined? Joe Dean was a buffoon.

Joe Dean refused to let Dale Brown go which allowed Dale to drag LSU Basketball down before Brown finally was ousted.

There was a lot more but this will give anyone unfamiliar with this bumbling moron
just how bad and incompetent he truly was.
