Has anyone outside of Moscona reported that Verge is opposed to hiring Will Wade?

well the governor and boosters want it. verge will take orders.

I have heard Verge is not a fan from others…but verge has a pretty sweet gig as a figurehead AD so he’s not going to rock the boat

If Verge wants to keep his job be shouldn’t be opposing this. His replacement just got hired in Schroyer if Verge opposes too much

I would not be surprised. I don't think Will Wade was the best employee

It doesn't matter, Verge has absolutely no teeth. He's taking orders.

Thank you. Finally someone who understands that Verge might be the lead powerful AD in the country. He is a literally a rubber stamp who sits in an office and gets paid to keep his mouth shut.

The idiots on the board who think they need to thank Verge for anything other than breathing crack me up.

Verge isn’t paid for his opinions or to make decisions. He's just there to serve as the mouthpiece. He will be replaced once he has worn out his usefulness.

No one is "reporting it", but Verge is against it. That is why McMahon hasn't been formally fired.

You saw it arise in the BK firing/Kiffin hiring, but it's even more so here with Wade, this move is being made above Verge's head by political powers. That's why it has long been a Wade or McMahon outcome. The political powers ONLY want Wade. They don't care about LSU basketball, in general. They only care about giving the people what they want....Wade. If Wade didn't come to LSU, then they were out and the AD and boosters opposed to Wade would be left alone to continue to run LSU basketball into the ground.

This has been in the works for nearly a year. It's, in part, why you've seen all of the moves over the last year. The same people (which goes VERY high up on the LA politics food chain) who wanted Wade at LSU after last season are the ones making it happen now. The way they are making it happen is they removed the impediments. Woodward and Tate were unequivocally against rehiring Wade. That's why LSU fans had to suffer another year of MM. It's also (in a not insignificant part) why both got pushed out of LSU and "friendly" faces were installed in their place.

It's why Rouse is the President. He's the choice of the current political "ruling" class. You remember when there was report Verge was being named the permanent AD and Rouse, the President, said he didn't think that was the case? That's because there was very much discussion if Verge was going to be an impediment to the political group's (and their aligned wealthy donors) agenda. Verge was allowed to stay to effectively serve as a "yes" man. The front. He's not really running LSU athletics. This is a political power play above his head. That's why Moscona has a lot of "bad" information. He's only getting it from the sources who really don't want this move to be made

If you scan down the Rant right now, every single thread is about Wade.

If Verge somehow doesn't hire him, it would be monumentally fricked up. It would be the absolute ultimate in embarrassing AD disasters. If he somehow can't land the plane, he'll have to hire someone like Dan Hurley, Todd Golden, or Bill Self just to placate the base. With an NIL budget worth tens of millions of dollars.

Will wade and verge do not get along. Actually wade said that as long as verge is the ad he will not come. Im assuming that why they are bringing in schroyer to handle things on the basketball end so wade and verge don’t have to deal with each other

Slobsconas sources are the chef at supper club, Gordon Mcernan, and some farmer at sunshine.

That and he's too busy making out with musso
