James Carville, who is known for hyperbole, says he doesn’t know how much it would take to attract Emmert back to LSU but he thinks any amount is worth it.
“If they were paying King $600,000 I think they should pay Emmert $6 million,” he says.

Emmert has close friends in Baton Rouge, including LSU Athletic Director Scott Woodward, whose stepson is married to Emmert’s daughter, and LSU booster Richard Lipsey, who recently returned from a wine-tasting trip he and his wife take annually with the Emmerts.
Political strategist and LSU alumnus James Carville, who also considers himself a friend of Emmert, says he has not spoken directly with Emmert about his interest in the position but thinks the 68-year-old is exactly what the university needs in the short term.

I could see it. Major changes coming to the NCAA and college athletics as a whole.

He would fit right in with the SJW clown show that is LSU. He brought all of the leftist BS to the NCAA so he would be a hero in Baton Rouge.

It really wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for Emmert, would it? Can LSU really offer him enough?
That being said, Emmert helped bring in a golden age at LSU. I'd be more than happy with it.

FWIW Chris Landry mentioned this on his podcast like 6-8 months ago.

I appreciate him a lot more now than I did when I was in college. We could do a lot worse.

What was Emmert’s involvement with the asinine transgender rules that are coming down from the NCAA mountaintop?

Emmett is probably the only person on Earth who could bring LSU back to greatness as a university. We NEED him. I’ve never donated to LSU but if they asked me to donate to the fund to pay his salary, set me on on a monthly draft. TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Hate on Carville all you want, but he isn't wrong here:

We don’t raise enough money. We don’t have access to the big foundations and he’s obviously got tons of experience. … I don’t speak for him but I think he would be a really good choice. We need to crank up the energy level. We need someone with mojo.

If Emmert wants the job, you absolutely find a way to make that happen.
I think he makes about $3m as NCAA head, though.

For those too young to remember, he was excellent for LSU. As it pertains to sports, he hired saban, paid him nearly double over the second highest paid HC at the time. He didn’t let the current AD who was a “good ole boy” make the decision. He was a visionary and ahead of his time in seeing what the impact of an elite sports program can have on a university.

Emmert would not be here forever. He's 68 now.
But he could come here for 5 years and right the ship, and set a strong foundation for the next leader, who could be someone younger who could stay for a while.
I don't see him leaving the NCAA to come back... but... him and Scotty are VERY close and have been for a long, long time. Scotty has worked for him before, in multiple spots.
