don’t care that Dean was turning a profit. We sucked at the important sports, except for baseball, which didn’t require much funding at the time.

Well, the reason LSU had any financial problems were because LSU had an idiot head coach in Hallman and Half Empty Tiger Stadium. Ticket sales were in the toilet.

Regarding Baseball, Skip went outside the Athletic Department and went to his own boosters he developed because Joe Dean wouldn’t and/or couldn’t help Skip do what needed to be done to turn the Baseball Program around. Skip did most of that on his own.
That is a fact.

When the LSU Athletic Department was in financial tight spot all Joe Dean did was cut every sport across the board by 10%. He was no financial genius. He was an moron.
