Great speech at Baseball Celebration. Maybe he deserves a look at full time President.

A look at president because he spoke well at a baseball celebration?

Litmus test for the new LSU president:

Governor Landry: We need to get that live tiger back for all the home games.

President Lee: Not a chance.

I am all for Matt Lee becoming full time president. He is a Louisiana guy for a Louisiana school.

And that's the problem, we're too busy looking for Ed O's instead of qualified candidates.

He's also got impressive credentials. They don’t just appoint anyone as interim President. Admittedly, I knew nothing about him until last night's speech.

Glad this wasn’t a requirement to lead the baseball program.

He is not Ed O. He has a PhD from LSU. Ed O would never have sniffed that.

I’m so tired of Louisiana doing this. Let’s just hire whoever is the most qualified to ensure LSU doesn’t go woke and grows both financially and in quality, by increasing enrollment of highly-qualified students scoring significantly higher than the minimum requirements. We have a plethora of other state schools for those barely meeting the requirements. We lose really good students to other more prestigious SEC schools due to our low standards/results combined with LSU not having enough scholarship opportunities to significantly reduce out of state tuition.

There’s a lot to be done and chances are someone inside the LSU bubble doesn’t have the answer.

It's okay you missed the whole point.

They can’t help themselves. Failed nepotism is in their DNA.

Our admittance rate and scores of those admitted don't support the statement "due to our low standards/results".
