He was also in those meeting at the Gov's mansion. The Brand is essentially why they are saying the move was made. If he was in those meetings that talked about a damaged brand, how would the same exact people be ok with all of this playing out so publicly?

I don't think they are ok with it. If you are referring to Gordon's interview with Moscona, he tells you several things he doesn't agree with Landry on with this whole thing.

LSU: "Wait, hold up. He was actually fired for... um... cheating on his wife. Or something."

Brian Kelly's lawyers: "Ah. Ok. Scratch that. We don't want $53M anymore. We want $100M for defamation."

The weirder thing is this whole "You weren't technically fired" thing. According to BK's suit, Verge was in the termination meeting and Woodward said he was fired without cause. Verge would know the truth.

Is Verge the kind of man that would lie to help LSU? Is that why he was moved into the role so quickly?

This absolutely falls in the "you can't make this shite up" category.

Because we fired him without cause and he has a $53 million dollar buyout.

The bigger damage is that every coach in the universe is now seeing what LSU buyouts are worth.

Do you mean why is he being paid $800k per month as he was before the TAMu game?

Gordon with his sleazy smirk said “uncertainty will help LSU in this negotiation” in that AFR interview. Yeah, y’all keep being cheap and not honoring a contract and making things uncertain. See how much damage y’all can do to LSU football.

Dude literally killed the entire fan experience. Truth be told I was on the fence considering trashing my tradition because this dude wasn't ready to compete in the SEC. Glad he's gone hope we're smiling this time next year.
