1. We'll officially hire McNeese Prez as LSU President by early next week.


It would seem underwhelming if LSU hires a man with 10 years in academia and less than 7 in any administrative role, and all of it at a very small regional university. It may end up being a great hire, but on paper, it looks terrible.

2. Woodward will be given his walking papers.



Maybe

quote:

3. New AD will be named quickly. Some say it's the McNeese AD, but I doubt it. Too big a role for him.


Definitely too big for him

quote:

4. New President and AD will pick new coach. And yes, there will already be some feelers out to potential coaches, even this week. But, I don't think Landry is strong-arming any of that.


Not sure about a new AD, but I guarantee there have been feelers out already, maybe starting after Vandy. Scott is good at this part, contacts aside, and he knows how to ask these questions without committing to anyone, just as an in case.

Would Saban make a good AD at LSU if he's interested?

I could see Saban in some kind of consultant role if he wanted it. I can't envision him willingly schmoozing with donors or poring over financial statements. A good AD has to be good at one or the other, or preferably both.

Landry is all about him and everything he does is in his mind to boost his profile.

So he tries to pander to his constituency, but his attempts are so transparent that even the folks who should be on his side can't abide by them....and that really takes some doing in this partisan political atmosphere of today but by golly this dude has found a way - and repeatedly.

Landry a USL grandstanding politician that knows nothing about LSU . He and his meddling BOS and their preselected President from McNeese, are about to screw this whole thing up and get us Dinardo level coach.

That’s not even close to the truth

From the rumors about what was said to Woodward by Kelly, I have no doubt that Kelly was going to be fired without Landry.

As a matter of fact, I think Landry made sure that he got the credit for firing him and mostly for political clout. If I was Woodward or any self respecting AD, I would not want to work in a system that required me to have the Governor looking over my shoulder. Only a patsy arse puppet would want that job.

You know enough just to have a bad opinion. He won games, and he damn well knew who he could work with at the QB position and prepare him to run his offense, but that in no way translates to giving advice on off the field areas


Literally nonsense. He had and maybe has some personal issues but the guy knows football.
Personal issues aside, what about his comments are not legitimate?

As opposed to hiring Kelly and these last 4 years?

After winning NCs with Miles and Orgeron?

I mean, the man didn't even require being able to communicate and still managed to not win anything.

But he got the girlfriend and drinking part right.

Landry knew enough not to raise ticket prices at a time when you couldn't give tickets away watching paid kids that wouldn't play for their coach.

He also knew you couldn't walk to the stadium without getting stoned breathing the air around you.

Stick to worrying about Slidell, man

If you dont think he is going to install his choice of LSU president then youre wrong. The president will install a new AD if Landry wants him to make a change.

Agree, he's done all he's needed to do... and done a phenomenal job at it.

Now get out of the way. Leave the arena a hero.

I know nothing about Landry. I am glad that he push the button to get rid of CBK. If not our Fat A.D. would’ve let him stay another year.
