You been under a rock?

Intervention in LSU Athletics: Landry has drawn intense national and local fire for his heavy-handed role in the October 2025 firing of LSU head football coach Brian Kelly and athletic director Scott Woodward.
"Political Overreach": Critics, including former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, warn that a governor making coaching decisions could "scare off" top-tier candidates.
Contradictory Hires: While Landry publicly railed against expensive, "failing" contracts, he reportedly blessed the subsequent hire of Lane Kiffin, whose deal similarly lacked the taxpayer protections Landry claimed to champion.
Ethics Violations and Legal Maneuvers: Landry has been embroiled in disputes with the state Board of Ethics over several issues:
Campaign Funds: He was warned for using campaign money to pay his car loan.
Unreported Gifts: He faced charges for failing to disclose luxury flights on a donor's private jet to Hawaii.
Undermining Oversight: Landry pushed legislation that effectively gives the governor more control over the Ethics Board, which critics argue is an attempt to neuter the body investigating him.
Greenland Special Envoy Appointment: In late 2025, President Trump appointed Landry as a Special Envoy to Greenland to explore the territory's annexation. This has sparked a dual-office holding controversy, with critics questioning if he can legally serve both roles simultaneously.
Regressive Tax Overhaul: His shift toward a flat income tax was offset by raising the state sales tax to 5%, which critics argue places a disproportionate financial burden on the state's poorest residents.
Church and State Controversy: Landry signed the nation's first law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms, drawing lawsuits and rebukes for allegedly violating the First Amendment.
Expanding Gubernatorial Power: He has been criticized for "dismantling" the civil service system and increasing the number of gubernatorial appointees to various boards, which opponents describe as an attempt to consolidate power and reward loyalty over expertise.

As of October 2025, these controversies have contributed to a significant decline in his approval ratings, which fell to 39% statewide

Wirhout addressing the other criticisms you mentioned, this one is pretty popular around here.

MBB is the second most popular sport nationwide, so I'd say it "matters".

When it comes to making money for the athletic department, only two programs matter , football and men’s basketball.
