I don't think he hates LSU as much as he's a man who has long realized he's in an antiquated profession with a job that has ever decreasing market value since, essentially, anyone with a social media account can publish information. Why do I need to wait for a news paper column when I can go on youtube and find dozens of videos discussing LSU sports or look on twitter to find dozens of "journalist" discussing the same thing.


People will still wait for written columns if it's from someone whose opinion they trust or someone whose knowledge they trust.

Guilbeau has neither of those things working in his favor.

He'll be back on the LSU beat.

Playing the heel to piss LSU fans off is what he was born to do.

Point and case is people literally paying Nick Underhill personally to read his columns about the saints.

I used to subscribe to the Athletic to read Brody Miller's write ups. He was the last good beat writer LSU had.

Anyone know if Jim Kleinpeter is still a sports writer? I always enjoyed his work.

I didn’t even realize he was working for Outkick

GG is basically skip bayless just much less successful.

I don’t think he started out at a troll, just had shitty opinions but saw how much traction he would get as a discenting opinion in a homer market and went full retard at it.

He sucks

Billy could use a cheerleader in the press for him. I honestly think that if UF lets Billy survive this season that he will turn them back into a decent 9+ win program. But they will probably fire him and hire Lane or something.

A coward who never asked tough questions but would jump on the bandwagon once blood is in the water and act like a hard hitting journalist. That actually describes everyone covering LSU Athletics.

God help us!"


0% chance of this happening.

Guilbeau is smart enough to know that. The only way to remain relevant and earn a living is to create views/clicks of his product. So he's taken the "hot take" "controversial take" approach in order to do so.


No, he's been doing that shite since before click bait was a thing. He was doing it when he had that crappy syndicated column in local rags. He's not some genius that figured out how to get clicks, he's just a miserable prick.

People will read columns that actually provide information you can't get anywhere else or have a truly well respected opinion.
