A little insight from someone who doesn’t post often

My profession places me in front of what would be referred to as “major” boosters in both a professional and personal setting. I wouldn’t call myself a major booster, and this isn’t a brag thread. Watching the game last night with several boosters and one board member, the disgust and contempt for LSU, specifically Joe Alleva, administrators such as F. Alexander and certain board memebers, was intense. There was some very real division and heated discussion from different camps last year and especially since the MSU game. Dissenting voices were being silenced. Anyone at the end of last season that spoke out against hiring Orgeron were ignored and have continued to be until this point. Now, the pro Ed camp is turning on each other in an attempt to save face and their positions. These people don’t care about LSU outside of the power generated by holding a high ranking position. Some within our university are attempting to use the school itself as leverage for better positions within the school and out. None wants to accept responsibility. The school has become a highly politicized game where one side plays by different rules than the other. Our school is in danger. It’s not just football. Where do you think JBE gained the confidence to speak publicly about closing the school? It’s a game. And LSU is the means to an end for some. LSU is devoid of any real leadership and those that possess it and have the means to implement real change are being silenced. God Bless our Tigers. Troubling times ahead.

Great. We're Texas. Without the prestige.

Ok, how can it be fixed??

Wait are u telling me there is corruption and corrupt politics in a state run school in Louisiana?
You got to be lying, no way anyone would believe that.

The problem is deeply institutional.

Where do these pro-Ed snakes lie? BOS? Administration? Legislature?

Question, does LSU have that big T. Boone Pickens/Phil Knight type of booster?

I don’t know that it can be until 2019.

The problem is we hired the wrong coach. Yeah we should have fired Miles before, but we had a chance to redeem ourselves and our AD failed. There was no search. No plan. Alleva in over his head and coach O as well. Money wasn’t involved. We didn’t even try.

If we had our T. Boone Pickens, we'd also have our own version of Mike Gundy.

Give us names, we'll handle the rest.

That sounds like the US Congress.

That’s hard to gauge. I would say a disturbingly large number care more for personal agendas than the state or LSU.
