re: Jordy Culotta knows what’s up!

It's about the brand man. We need LSU to be associated with winning national championships. The more every sport contributes to it the more the brand is associated with winning which in turn helps contribute to a winning culture and easier recruiting for all sports.

Respectfully,someone else will have to decide. LSU can and should do this. IMHO

Damn, everybody got so offended by what I said.

No, it's not my money, unless they're paying it with money donated or from tickets I've bought going to other sporting events through the years. Then, yes, it's some of my money. But that's not what I was getting at and I don’t know how they pay the woman's basketball coach. Didn't TAF say their revenue and donations have been down? Hasn't the university been struggling to fundraise as well, especially after all the recent news?

And it's not like you get Kim and you automatically win a championship, which it seems many here equate to when talking of hiring her. I also said I understand the politics of the hire. The PR win of it could be worth more than what you'll have to pay her and I think that is what Woodward and the BOS are probably thinking. Especially at a time like now when LSU needs something good in the news, and even more so if that something good is related to showing a commitment to women's excellence at the university.

I guess my concerns are how long will it take to turn the wbb program around? It seems like a big task right now, but if anyone can, it would probably be Mulkey. Also, and I think this is my biggest worry, is the LSU administration seems incompetent right now, all across the board, from athletics to sports. Can they even make this work? Or will they just continue fricking everything up?

And we know Yahoo and other media outlets will come out with 20 articles written by dirty neckbeard, open mouth picture taking men and fat, ugly, rainbow colored hair women saying LSU is just trying to throw money at a problem.

Regardless, whichever way they go, I hope it works out. I want to see every sports team we have be successful. I just think the numbers I've seen being thrown around to get Mulkey here are crazy. THEY don't even pay Wade that much, much less PM.

There’s never been a better time to spend this much money on a coach like Mulkey. She brings instant female credibility to a school that is mired in a significant controversy related to the abuse of women. LSU putting up big bucks to bolster women’s athletics is the perfect PR move for this moment. It communicates that LSU values women, and, in the current climate, that’s a brilliant use of money.

I didn't think of it this way. I support spending a good amount of money on Mulkey to win games. But if the move get's people virtue signaling feels on, more power to the hire.

Click bait
