One word

Skip


That cheap arse bastard let Nick go. Let Pat Henry go.

He was not a good AD.

Dead wrong on all of this amigo, except that Skip did have to go cheap on parts of new Box due to a global credit crisis in 2007-08 that caused a slow-down in donations.
So, the old bleachers got moved over whereas RF & LF were designed to have chairbacks. And the berm that was designed for RCF was removed due to cost to do the compaction work (much more expensive in South LA and near the Miss River than in most other states/stadiums). Also, the engineers told Skip that the process to do the work on berm (initial installation, manual compaction, settling, additional materials added, comapction and settling) would take 2-3 timea as long as the architect specified.
Been stated often that Nick could not be persuaded to stay with any amount of LSU money available. He wanted to be the GOAT in the NFL. Pat Henry, maybe. Although he has Texas roots and desired to return there. And ask his coaches if they think he was a good AD. 100% agreed Yes.
