re: Latest in Wade Saga... Changes coming

Verge learned from the best and observed the best and is willing to listen. ( Emmert , Saban , Gill , parts of Dean ). He know how to navigate the waters. ). What does an AD do. He navigates the waters. He has things lined up . He is politically astute , he knows good coaches. He runs a business that makes money. Better still he knows what doesn’t work at LSU. ( parts of Dean , f king , parts of alleva )

Where does verge falter in that discussion. ? Ask yourself. ? Sounds like a pretty good guy to get behind.

He would not have hired Trent , he would not have lost Saban , he would have hired Saban back , he would not have lost Jimbo the first time

Damn.

He is well respected in the industry and is well respected with the coaches agents. And he works at all those relationships.

We could do a whole lot worse.

Personally I would rather king go than alleva.

/ first let’s quit using his loyalty... /

- i have not used his loyalty as a reason. Please cite where I have. I may have missed it in my re read

- he is the number two man and the department is making money. He is very much in control and on top of things regarding budgeting . If you were knowledgeable about the department you would definitely know this. His direct responsibility is for

“ supervises and is responsible for the LSU football, men’s basketball and men’s and women’s track and field programs. He also oversees LSU’s sports medicine and research, equipment staff, strength and conditioning staff, video department, branding, life skills and alumni relations. Ausberry also assists the office of LSU President Dr. F King Alexander in external and governmental relations.“

- Ausberry was in the corner of keeping Saban He lost to your friend skip . Biggest mistake of an AD in the history of LSU.

- Ausberry was for rehiring Saban when Les was going to Michigan and was working toward that end when others did not think it would be smart to convince Miles to take the Michigan job.

- jimbo was a a done deal and Ausberry was the negotiator. He was not Paying what a and m ended up paying .nor the same term Then f king pulled the rug and didn’t fire les. Only to fire him three or four games later. Btw verge was the one that kept things calm and handled the fallout in both instances

The o hire has panned out to date. I didn’t like it then but so far so good.

I am not saying that verge is a slam dunk. But I suspect verge could get plenty of shots around the country if he wanted.

Verge is greater than herb Vincent in my opinion. I would like to make a run at Woodward first . I don’t know what other ADs would be available. A national search should always be conducted.

I would counter your argument by asking you to not just pass over the local insider candidate. Sometime exactly what we need is right under your nose.
