He seems to have a lot of common sense, unlike many of the other college presidents I see out there.

He has fully embraced athletics and turned it into the cornerstone of the university. Saying that we will turn LSU into an elite institution with athletics leading the way as the face of the university. It’s smart and it’s working.


Its what Saban did for Bama....


Don’t forget it’s what Rousse, Schroyer, and Wade already did at McNeese, also. On a smaller scale than LSU, sure, but they did it there. They know the formula. They have a history of success. Bright days ahead for LSU.

100%

while Dr Rousse was at McNeese before he became president, he was VP and oversaw them increase the McNeese Foundation by over 30%, then became president of the university and didnt just stop the 15 year decline of McNeese enrollment but increased it by over 10%

people forget he was a very successful business man and then an economist before going into academics once he built his wealth.

he is a great guy too with tons of passion and energy, its contagious when you are around him. He is a home run hirer.

Schroyer will do well too, especially in the role he is in where the spot light wont be on him so much. Say whatever you want about the dude but he will work his arse off and will do whatever it takes to raise funds to get what they coaches need and want.

None of this will ever make me hate Tate and what he did for LSU...I'm thankful for what he did, and how he led.

Rousse seems to be doing the things right that we know about. Athletics. Let's see what happens when adversity hits.

Excited that James Dalton, the Chancellor of the Flagship, is aligned with many of the things that Tate was already doing. We will see a lot of benefits from this as time progresses. Not having to start from scratch and building upon.

Holistic Admissions - Started under F. King, it's gone now.
Alignment - Tate moniker
Athletics as an Advertisement for Academia - Tate shared this philosophy
Academia Boost - Tate saw great advancements
Library - Tate
Dorms - Tate
Academic Buildings - Tate
Stresses of having one person being the President and Chancellor - Tate as the same ones before him, could only do so much.

Tate was just a casualty of an administration change, you guys just try very hard to finger point. He's not here anymore...hopefully our new team of Dalton AND Rousse, will bare great fruit.

Dr. Wade Rousse


Home run hire. He was obviously phenomenal at McNeese... but always "too big" to stick around here. Hell, I wish he would run for Governor
