And you are a piss poor poster who doesn't know the difference between success and failure.

Bertman brought LSU into the modern era with the TAF ticket plans and massive facilities upgrades. Without those, we'd be like Mississippi State now.

Nonsense. Skip was a great Baseball HC at LSU. He was not a football man. He does not know the game of FB, inside out. His tenure as AD at LSU proves the point. And even though he understands baseball, his long reluctance to make the change he needed to make in his successor (Laval) exposes a blind spot that perhaps is resurfacing in his similar defense of his hire at FBHC.

he ran off Henry, went cheap on a football coach, totally botched naming his successor because he was too fricking greedy to give up camp money, and nearly botched the hiring of this baseball coach by having 4 guys turn him down before lucking out with Mainieri. Sure the guy could coach but his hiring practices were questionable at best.

Russian is just a baseball homer who can't take it out of his mouth long enough to admit anything negative associated with the program. Everyone knows Skip was maybe the best head coach of all time in baseball but his job as an AD left A LOT to be desired.
