No, I'm an LSU fan who does not try to criticize every aspect of the athletic program like you do. Does it make you feel superior to do that?
1) He didn't run off Henry. LSU fans don't support track and field and there was no way the program could match what TAM offered Henry. TAM does support T & F, btw. I suppose you had season tickets to LSU Track? Or, maybe you never went to a single track meet, more likely... Even with all the NC's in track, the program lost money every year Henry was here. It still loses money.
2) He didn't "go cheap" on hiring Miles. Other than Saban, Miles was the highest paid LSU head football coach in history. Still is, now even including Saban.
3) Bull shite on your description of hiring Mainieri. You lost all credibility with that BS. Jim Wells was the only other coach considered.
4) His only "questionable hiring practice" was Laval....and he had made an early-on commitment to Laval, which he kept. He felt he owed it to Laval due to the lean early years when he and Laval built the program. And Skip made it right by eventually firing his friend. Not an easy thing to do, but he did it.
5) You're an idiot.

he got him for what? 1.5 million? If he had gone up in what was paid to Saban (2 mill at the time) he could have gotten a coach with more credibility behind his name.

quote:Wrong.. Bertman let it be known that they weren't going to pay any new coach what he was paying Nick.. or some words to that affect.. (I don't have time to find the link)
2) He didn't "go cheap" on hiring Miles.
quote:so, when he announced Miles as the next HC you didn't question that? I know i did, and most people, LSU fans or not, did...
4) His only "questionable hiring practice" was Laval....

saban was hired a LONG time before miles
the coaching salary landscape was much different in 2005

I have to agree with Russian. this guy claims to be a fan of another team yet he has a considerable amount of post on our board and many of them are not true or anti LSU. He is one that I wish someone with this site would do something. Maybe he is here because the other school he claims has run him off!!!!!!!!!
