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.

When I was on campus, Emmett was readily available to speak to the students, showed up to events outside of just sports, and represented the university well. I would welcome him back in a heartbeat.

I remember during finals week we had some late night study thing in the union where they provided pancakes and such for the students staying up studying. He walked in and had some and walked around talking to students and wishing them luck.
