What exactly is his job?

I laughed when Ponamsky first got the job with Orgeron. I foolishly thought that all Ponamsky would be doing was running to Circle K to get Orgeron another Red Bull.

But apparently Orgeron put a guy completely unqualified in a position to vet assistant coaching hires and more program related jobs. That's flat out amazing that Orgeron gave Ponamsky this much responsibility.

For what it's worth, due to the flood in 2016, I was available to listen to most of Culotta and the Prince in the mornings and I recall what they were saying on the air. In November of 2016, Culotta had zero issue, in fact he was in full support, of Ponamsky being involved in the LSU program as Orgeron's right hand man. Culotta even once mentioned that when Orgeron had to hire new staff that Ponamsky would be "a great resource" in searching for great assistant coaching talent.
