So is Wade Rousse a shoo-in as the next LSU president?

People on here are talking like he is.

He is by far the least qualified of the 5 finalists.

But he's a political animal and has snuggled up to Landry, and will do his bidding while in office.

It all checks out.

As oppossed to what? Some Northern Liberal Jackleg that has a pedigree and disdains the people who go to the actual University?

NE assholes haven't exactly worked out for us in case you haven't noticed.

How would the Arizona guy be able to explain how the University of Arizona almost went bankrupt on his watch?

There is no such thing as a University President of a state university that isn’t a political animal.

Matt Lee is a candidate. Think he’s done a nice job as interim & would be a good choice.

His background is pretty impressive if you read it. Not saying the others don’t have similar ones but I think he would do just fine.

All university presidents are poiitical. hopefully he can shed the WOKE at LSU and fundraise. If he can bring Will Wade back and hire a good football coach it is lagniappe

Right, but surely there are better options than government loyalists?

This is our taxpayer money we're talking about. Politicians should not be giving your money to their friends in exchange for favors. That's how Louisiana became the most corrupt state in the nation.

LSU’s enrollment numbers and support seems to have grown substantially over the last few years. I would surely think we could find more qualified candidates but I’ll give Rousse a shot.


What I really don’t understand is some suggesting Wade will come back with the hire. Wade is not leaving a basketball school because he’s close to the Mcneese administration


I am ambivalent to firing Woodward but please just not the mcneese AD

The former business partner who took part in a successful sale. He has BS, MBA, and PHD. He’s also a current president of a Louisiana college (Mcneese). Helped Raises 40 million and delivering an LNG center? He’s the least qualified?

I bet you’re a Matt Lee apologist. He’s actually incredibly under qualified. No background in Ag at all. Sociology professor? Cmon

Rousse would be fantastic
