In fairness he may not be saying the Gov. SHOULD be able to fire professors, merely that Landry WOULD DO SO.
On the other hand, no GOP front -runner is ever too sleazy for some posters here.

He is a professor but does not have a PhD, he seems to be a liberal democrat, he has work most of his career as a government bureaucrat and political staffer and is always complaining about LSU sports, but he has never worked in private enterprise so he doesn’t understand!

Mann is a provocateur but LSU faculty generated significantly more revenue than LSU athletics in FY 21-22.

Athletics had a great year, 199 Million in gross Rev, 6 million surplus. Few schools can top that.

LSU Faculty research totaled 324 million in external funding in FY 21-22, and does not include state allocations or tuition. Also does not include research funded at either medical campus, which is significant

The overwhelming majority of university staff and university faculty are compensated much differently… He’s looking for allies where there are none

Mann earns a salary commensurate with the marketplace for college professors. Kelly earns a salary commensurate with the marketplace for a major college football coach. If Mann doesn't like that "inequity", I suggest he stop wasting his time whining about it on twitter and go learn the intricacies of the Tampa-2 defense so he may one day be paid a salary similar to Kelly's

Mann has a different idea. To each according to his needs; from each according to his means.

It’s scary that you think a governor should be able to fire a university professor.

Holy Batman Overbearing Government


It's a state university. Firing one state employee who repeatedly violates the faculty code of conduct has zero effect on the size of government.

And if you somehow believe political influence doesn't affect hiring and firing on university campuses all the time, you are grossly out of touch with reality. It usually happens to people of a wholly opposite worldview than Bob Mann has, but there it is nonetheless.

What's more, absolutely no one will miss him or his "contributions" to the LSU journalism school, which chiefly consist of terrorizing students who don't parrot his partisan Democrat politics and spending his work time attacking those with whom he disagrees on Twitter.

LSU seemed to start from the proposition that we faculty members were looking to steal from the university by misappropriating a few hundred dollars, while on the other side of the campus the accountants were showering the football coach with an extra million. madness.

he should just be fired right now for criticizing the university bringing the negative press.

Really? Wow, part of the woke, cancel culture huh? Don't dare exercise your right of free speech, it has consequences. Perhaps if the guy was bitching about the IRS auditing him while the billionaires got a free pass you could maybe see the point.

Exercising your right of free speech is perfectly fine. Spouting factually incorrect bullshite and using your platform to do so is irresponsible.

Left wing academics will be the death of college sports. Particularly football.

Pussies cannot handle anything they cannot control. The fact that coaches make more than a retarded professor eats them up.

By this standard we should have fired every President, lesser politician and bureaucrat for the last 100 years. At least Professor Mann, whom I don't know and am not supporting, is not actively using lies to kill human beings in wars and pandemics.

He’s annoying because he attacks Football to try and bring light to university funding.

And it hurts his case more than it helps. It’s not like he’s wrong about the university needing more funding, but everyone know football makes their own money.
