I thought we liked when Coach O got close with politicians?

Not me.

Most of LSU's history, politics played a big part in meddling with the program. Governors etc all wanted to stick their hands into the pot.

Wasn't until Emmert came in and hired Saban, that they were able to kick out all the outside people, and run it professionally. We saw the results of that, as LSU has experienced the best stretch in it's history.

After Miles was fired, there were some articles noting that politics were creeping back into the mix. JBE flew to the Tennessee game on the team plane. Then we see him at Burrow's Heisman ceremony.

I like what O's doing overall, but I hate that he's letting the politicians come back in and shmooze around; it's only a matter of time before they start trying to control things again.
