Brian Kelly looks like the smartest man in the world right now. It's pitiful, but LSU will be back, sooner more than later.

Right now, people are hungry for information and when they don't get it they start lashing out at anyone and everyone.

In less than a month, I think things will settle down.

BTW, didn't one of the "insiders" say there would be an announcement today on a Head Coach?

I think this is being miss construed. I believe he removed intern tag to make him AD now.

I do believe they will hold a search at some point.

Stability in promoting a compromised man? What exactly was the rush?

Verge has absolutely no business being an SEC athletic director.

He doesn’t, but at least make him go through a vetting process and interview with everyone else.

That’s even worse. That alone indicates that they’re incompetent. See This description of the Peter Principle

If left completely alone, with authority and “power” to direct the people doing the work to run the search and hiring process …. Very likely you could. Very.

this all is deliberate. They are trying to sabotage LSU.


No. You give them too much credit. You think they’re sensible and effective like us normal people. They’re not. They’re a totally different breed.

As scary as this sounds … they really are this stupid. And they are “in charge”.

If I were Verge I would be making sure my LinkedIn account is up to date and start looking elsewhere for a job.

Verge hanging by a thread in purgatory until he lands the HC target.

Someone with a lot of money doesn't want Verge at that position

This was a political hit for something he was already punished.
I like Verge and believe he would make great AD.

Decision to remove interim tag was made by BoS that have no business making athletic decisions because they don’t know what they’re doing. Leveraged votes to get Rousse to agree to removal. Verge leaked removal to media.

Rousse didn’t trust him BEFORE and now definitely doesn’t...his time is limited.

The player was arrested for the stuff verge covered up. It wasn’t BS. You should learn the facts before making stupid comments.

The entire situation is a shite show. Thinking anything good is going to come out of this is just sticking your head in the sand.

I voted for his dumb arse during the final election. Although I did not vote for him the primary and he does not need to be reelected again. No matter what he does to LSU. The guy is a buffoon and I admit I voted for him the second go around. Sorry I did. Hopefully 2 and 1/2 years can come fast and we can get his arse out of office

I think the decision to give Verge the job permanently was leaked prematurely.

Verge helped get rid of Woodward, played his cards too prematurely, banking on his family's political cronyism hoping everyone would forget the Title 9 disaster which he played a prominent role. Louisiana is so fricked up in as much that a guy that should have been fired can possibly believe that people would forget that and he would be Athletic Director.

This confusion is 100% on Rousse. But no you have to have a clue to be able to “set up” Verge.

Nothing Rousse has done to date expresses he has ANY clue.
