how did we let Pat Henry get away?

1.) Giving Pokey Chatman a huge raise instead.

2.) Not fixing up the indoor track.

Not so fast, my friend. I do. Let's see how this plays out.

Basically it was over not refurbing the indoor center. Henry ran a solid program but DS did all the coaching.

I've heard from T&F fans that LSU sent nobody from the Ath-Dept to greet the team off the plane the last time that they won a national title. It supposedly was the last straw with Henry.

Also heard that Skip didn't want to pour much into Bernie Moore, nor pay Henry a modest raise..

Say what you will about Pat Henry or John McConnell(now retired) national titles, and whether many even care or watch, but at the end of the day, they are national titles, university exposure, and hardware hauls for the schools..

Pat Henry has both ATM programs rolling, especially the women track team, gonna help keep their name out there in the news, while their Football program languishes, just like he did for LSU in the '90s.

LSU was moronic to let Henry walk, if a modest raise would have kept him in BR.

Going strong, but Shaver had to find his stride, it took a small step back for a while there.

And the Men seemingly are tad less than under Henry, though he too left some national titles on the table due to not having enough field event points in many seasons where they finished 2nd and 3rd.

LSU under both coaches, has relied upon track events to accrue the lion share of points.

How much dough does track bring in?

How much revenue does men's track generate in net proceeds to LSU's athletic department?

Answer that question and you probably have your answer.
