He hired Saban and changed the culture of the BOS. He gets a lot of credit for this great run our football program has been on.

Hell yeah he gets a lot of credit, and rightfully so. That's why I'm confused as to Jim's post.

You do realize the Governor appoints the BOS at his discretion, right? Foster's complete support of Emmert's vision and leadership at LSU-and the examples he made out of anyone who did not agree with and help support Emmert by removing them from the BOS after warning-allowed Emmert to do some good things.

But make no mistake, Emmert was allowed to succeed by former Governor Mike Foster. He had zero control or influence with the Board. Foster's belief in Emmert and his willingness to prove that support using his own appointing power as it related to the BOS is what changed its culture.

I'm guessing you know don't really know what you're talking about with that post.
