At a press conference related to SNAP benefits, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry revealed a strong opinion about who should pick the next LSU football head coach.

“I can tell you right now, [LSU Athletic Director] Scott Woodward is not selecting the next coach,” Landry said. “Hell, I’ll let Donald Trump do it before I let him do it.”




quote:

When asked who would be picking the coach, Landry replied, "The Board of Supervisors is gonna come up with a committee, and they're gonna go find us a coach." The governor appoints members of the board. Woodward and LSU spokesman Zach Greenwell did not immediately return a request for comment.

Any head coach would be terrified of this current environment with Landry.

I just saw the video and that was a scathing response.

It's because of Trump’s sterling record at picking qualified candidates isn't it?

Sweet. Can’t wait for Landry to make every candidate prove their MAGA bonafides before being considered for the job

Bad look. He also mentioned the horrific contract. Wouldn’t expect lsu to spend crazy money on a coach unless it comes from donors

Him trying to make this a PR moment for himself is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Is it really necessary to say all this at a press conference?

Not a smart political move by Landry to publicly express his distaste over anyone in this manner...

100% fair point by Landry, but he is a disaster on optics. That’s not something you say out loud as a governor.

The ONLY good news in this bad look news is Landry also clearly say “I won’t be picking the coach”

He sounds mentally handicapped. Is that how he normally talks?

Sounds like he should be on a shrimp boat somewhere.
