Jordy also has a kid in school in BR and a fiancé that I assume lives/works in South Louisiana so if he left for another opportunity he's not going very far.


With the way he worded his post I don’t think he left voluntarily.

Orgeron had Jordy executed after saying something bad about him and is going to re-install his right hand man Derek Ponamsky back in the morning spot to quash any disobedience.

He said he “learned his working relationship has ended”.. he did not leave for another opportunity; he was fired.

This is what I was about to post, pure speculation obviously, but I wonder if his connection with Mintz got him on with BarStool. He got that big donation for them. It seems like an amicable breakup with that post, so I wouldnt be surprised if he was moving onto bigger things.

Are you saying the Pelini thing didn't happen because that's exactly what Jordy said?


The Pelini thing is 100 percent false. If Jordy got fired for that, it's because he pissed LSU off by reporting a false story.

They will bring in Hunt Palmer
Curious how Hunt wasn't mentioned in the farewell despite being Jordy's cohost for quite a while.

Oh, and Hunt is terrible. Hunt and T-Bob would instantly be the worst program in the lineup.

If he did, he should go to his Facebook account and clarify, as many comments show anger at Guaranty. If he chose to leave for another gig, the right thing to do is set the record straight.

That's intentional language to try and break the non-compete clause, if I had to guess.

My read on his Social Media post is that he was caught offguard.

"I have learned that my working relationship..."

Sounds like he was sat down and canned



Agreed.

Maybe they found out he was talking to other employers and just cut ties.

Correct, these guys that make a living off their relationship with LSU are sure throwing it out there.

Hunt is a good dude, loves LSU, and is knowledgeable, but he isn't the best at radio. His personality and voice just aren't great for it.

That's not trying to be insulting, I know I'd suck at it too. Every morning would be a lot of Hunt

LSU sure is a bunch of queens. You just had the worst defense in program history.

I agree, but they could’ve found out that he was talking to some other media outlet about a job.

I have learned today that my working relationship at Guaranty Media & 104.5 ESPN Baton Rouge has ended.


This doesn't make it sound like it is "contract related". You don't do your show as normal this morning then suddenly "learn today" your employment has ended if your contract expired. You know well ahead of time when you contract will be up.

Certainly the two sides could have reached some sort of impasse on contract negotiations and he decided today just to move on. But if that were the case his actions today (no mention whatsoever on air of it being his last day) and his statement "I have learned today..... would be awfully strange.

If anything, it sounds like he may have known it was possible he could be fired any day now and was (behind the scenes) trying to get a media push to save him. In back to back nights to national commentators/PBP randomly mention him in the broadcast out of the blue

Yeah, I’m sure Hunt is a fine fella. And, to be honest, a lot of the broadcast industry is subjective taste. I probably should have not used “good” or “bad” without saying “he’s not that good to me.” He’s just not my brand of coffee.

Having said that, he’d be a much better option than someone like Josh Innes.
