What am I missing re. Landry

The live Tiger in TS, Charle Kirk statue idea and now involved with LSU firing coaches and AD very publicly. He needs to just STFU.

Will be a distant memory once the new president and AD are hired within the week. The panicans will find something else to complain about.

Its because his antics could scare away top candidates. Do you really want to coach under that guy's microscope?

Exactly. I forgot how much these guys loved Tate, Woodward, and Kelly.

People who don’t like him, now don’t want to applaud him getting done, the very thing they’ve been bitching about.

I’ve seen this pattern before somewhere

The LSU BOS is politically appointed.

---

A board full of supposed MAGA voters crying that he fired the two guys all LSU fans wanted fired on Saturday night?

Have you ever had a discussion with an LSU fan on any topic?

I’m not understanding the panic.

Panic, by its very nature, isn't particularly subject to a detailed understanding. It is a misfiring of a survival instinct. It is also contagious. What leadership can do is to counter it with calmness. While I don't see a lot of that going around, at least Frank Wilson has that to spare. Calmness at the top is, likewise, contagious (in my limited experience).

I think he was looking to make national news and took the opportunity to involve himself. I think he also believed the fan base was adamantly against Kelly and Woodward, which apparently isn’t the case if you read the rant.

I think what you are missing is that when it comes to something like LSU football, the tribes are configured differently than teh tribes of national politics.

When it comes to LSU football, you are either a supporter that wants the best for the program or you are not. Whether you are liberal or conservative politically does not matter. And a person who is in the tribe that supports the program, you have to be able to put the success of the program above yourself.

As for Jeff Landry, there are a few issues that jump out.

(1) Jeff Landry is not committed to the success of the program above his own self interest. He will attack LSU directly if he thinks that aligns with the prevailing winds of national politics. He does show boating things (like Omar) that are designed to bring attention to Jeff Landry. Folks who support the program are naturally turned off by Landry due to his very clear track record.

(2) Jeff Landry does not appear to be a competent manager of anything. His lack of competence will be given a pass in the political world because political tribes overlook incompetence. (Sad but true) But when it comes to managing LSU sports, incompetence is not tolerated. The tribe demands a higher level than competence—they demand excellence.

I guess the shorter and more direct answer is that the LSU fan base is reacting negatively to Jeff Landry getting personally involved because he is a self promoting show boater and he is incompetent,

Political affiliation has nothing to do with it.
