re: Governor Landry was correct to get involved

quote:

Y’all realize that without him stepping in we are still stuck with that soft leprechaun Brian Kelly.

As others have pointed out, this is absolute rubbish. Landry wasn't involved in Kelly's firing. The boosters and Woodward made the call. In fact, Landry didn't know enough to realize that the "lee-Gal-uh-tees" were already determined that we would have to pay. LSU got egg on it's face by appearing to renege on the Kelly contract.
As much as he stuck his chest out and dick where it didn't belong, nothing changed in terms of the next coaches contract. Kiffin's deal was still mega dollars with similar guarantees. He changed nothing and just showed his arse.

This ^^^ - There are those who defend Jeff just to defend him because partisan politics is so much a part of their day-to-day lives it is ingrained in them to do so.

But he's losing a lot of Republican support I can tell you and I think those who really know how these things work with LSU athletics know his level of true involvement and those who have followed his political career know his main goal is self promotion. And even that he seems to struggle with context and what is good publicity and bad.

And in what other coaching search would you define it normal for a governor to be involved. If bama had the governor involved in their coaching search you'd see it as weird.

Good thing you aren't old enough to remember Governor Long.

No they aren’t. Woodward fired Kelly and Landry had ZERO to do with it. Go frick your Landry the biggest dumbass in the western hemisphere self. His fricking arse will be with a lot of far rights after midterms - on the street.
The economy is about to crater and people are pissed about a lot of things including us older conservatives. Make no mistake, Landry is unqualified to represent a district much less a state.

You do realize political parties evolve and change over generations - and change significantly?

So why do you think Verge's son hit the portal and is getting the hell out of Dodge?

There's a good chance his involvement will prove to have been beneficial. Both for what he did- and DID NOT do.

Let's face it: LSU's FB Office was allowed to become more dysfunctional and stagnant as time went on.

A fish rots from the head down. Both Woodward and Kelly had to go. Without Landry's involvement, does anyone think that was going to happen anytime soon? I don't.

As it turns out, he DID NOT do what the sky screamers (in both the media and fan base(s)) all predicted he'd do: Scuttle LSU's hire. Instead, he helped facilitate it. As for the media predicting LSU's impending "disaster", they look like fools who were never in the only loop that mattered.


Now....Let the assault on the transfer portal begin.

Come up with the right amount of cash (which is still King) and that's as irrelevant as whether or not they like boiled crawfish.

People like this vote. Its depressing.
