I’d imagine that’s just for PR to show we’re not a captainless ship. If you believe he’s handpicking the next coach…

If they are picking a new AD quickly, why wouldn't the new AD, that is to be saddled with this football coach, be in charge once installed?

In less than a year after the Omar debacle, Landry has forced out LSU's president, athletic director, head football coach.

Not sure bunch. Pretty clear its a rudderless ship


Is this press conference really needed? You appointed him interim AD. Just leave it at that.

He said that the department isn't broken about 20 times which makes me think it is in fact very broken

Only way to salvage is if everyone knows it’s already Saban.

Then who the frick is going to lead the search?

We don't have a president, or an AD.

Horrible choice.

No HC of bigtime note is going to want to join a program without an AD

Personally like Verge, but if he is doing this he may want an exit plan set up after the first year of his hire.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse. I assume it’s just so Landry can have more input in the process. Big mistake IMO. Watch us end up with Verge as permanent AD and somebody like Sumrall or James Franklin, which will excite nobody.
