Is every person involved in this a Neanderthal? Why can’t they stop saying stupid shite in front of microphones? Why can’t they babble like a bunch of fricking retards behind closed doors? These morons could frick up a wet dream

These “executives” need to be a little more thoughtful with their communication between each other and with the public. Early indications show poor LSU representation.

Sounds like there was a handshake deal in place and everyone is running their mouths before things have a chance to be finalized/on paper.

Someone needs to fark Landry into the Impractical Jokers meme.

"Okay, now tell you're removing the interim tag and promoting him to acting athletics director."

Just about anything they send related to LSU may be open to a public records request. They should know better.

I wonder who leaked Verge being AD. Tbere was never a press release or announcement from LSU. Maybe Verge overplayed his hand and the President stood his ground

Just spitballing here. But is this an effort to get the snakes out the barn? Has LSU officially said one word about the AD position other than Verge is the interim?

No he didn’t. This was orchestrated. Permanent was never the intention.

Not true at all. For one instance, check the SEC Rant. Check national media for others.

This is all going exactly as "they" planned ..bout to hire schroyer as AD who has 4 years experience as an AD/Administrator...was a terrible basketball coach...but apparently is a "genius" because he was literally the only AD in America who would employ WW...what a clown show this still is... I knew it was not on the up and up when the BOS was conducting interviews for ONE position, president, but magically hired 2 people somehow

Well, we can see what both Brian Kelly and Woodward were dealing with now…..they are no longer part of the picture and things have gone from bad to worse.

There is now only one constant through all of this frickery….

I have had friends from 3 different states and who aren't LSU fans text me in the last week, basically saying "WTF is going on down there". So people are noticing.

Verge leaked the removal to the media to (try to) force Rousse’s hand. Rousse didn’t want Verge. Doesn’t trust him. Board members leveraged votes to remove interim title. Agreement was no contract or raise. Just remove title.

Yes Rousse knows about Title IX stuff. But you can’t say “I think it’s outrageous and he’s corrupt and I hate the mfer” to media. Btw Gov hates Verge. Was pissed about title removal.

This is a result of way too many hands in the cookie jar. Not of Rousse being dumb or confused about what interim means.

ETA- and YES this is my first post and YES I just created my account because I know how you people are. I’ve been quietly reading TD for close to 20 years. Now have a vested interest and am *in the know* so felt like joining the conversation. Take it or leave it.

So a shite show? Got it.

Jeff Landry and his Cajun circus are damaging everything they touch and because they don’t love LSU or respect the school and its people, this is the predictable outcome. I would vote for JBE before I vote for Landry again…I can’t wait to get this idiot out of the public office.

Yeah this is pretty embarrassing. I was all for Woodward getting canned but for this to be Rousse’s first move I have almost no faith in the guy now


I think things are happening too fast, and I think the board of supervisors is telling him the conditions that he must abide by

I did like what he had to say about an organizational chart and improving the efficiencies of all of the LSU campuses

Dalton seems like a good guy and they’re going to get along fine

But they’re just trying to figure out what’s wet right now

It’s a tough position to be put into when you have a vacancy at the AD and the head coach and you got the governor going on TV

And then you get moved from McNeese State, and now you’re in charge of all campuses in the entire state of Louisiana

That’s a tough position to be put into. I say let’s give him a break.

Let the dust settle a bit give them some time to figure things out

I think what he wanted to do was help the coaching search by removing the interim A.D. title that might hinder his ability to land a coach

But at the same time, we don’t have time to go out and find a new A.D. while we’re trying to find a coach

So what was he supposed to do?
