If Frank Wilson ends up as coach, I’m done.

That being said, I’m okay with Verge and support him. He’s been around. Hopefully he can lead and make an impact.

Donors won’t let it happen. Verge will go after someone with the deep pockets behind.

I still dont think that will happen. If it did, that would be beyond disappointing.

They didn’t fire Kelly to hire Frank.

They posted a scathing article when he was appointed interim. I can only imagine what’s next.

I think there is going to be significant negative press and pushback on this. I almost wouldn’t be surprised if LSU has to backtrack on this decision. There’s no good response or excuse.

Not exactly sure how I feel about this. Having a full time AD probably helps with the coaching search but it is kinda of a WTF move.

Exactly.

After they crucify LSU in general, they’ll move to the female coaches…especially Mulkey. “How can you support this? How do you look your team in the eye?” And it’s a fair point.

Also, look for them to go after any big name football coach who considers going to work for such a guy. And again, it’s a fair point.

This appears anticlimactic. WTF happened? I kinda figured Verge was the caretaker.

After bringing Dalton in.... this?

The eating crow thing... I guess. Still digesting this one.

I choose to believe this means Verge has closed on a big fish and Rousse approves.

The university is now being run by incompetents. Forget what ausberry did (or didn’t do), which is bad enough and should have led to his dismissal years ago. LSU has an image problem after the midget fricking Cajun made the TV rounds trying to elevate his image. You don’t fix an image problem by giving the national media a huge layup to shite all over the new AD (which he deserves). The state and its institutions are run like a fricking carnival sideshow, and I’m sick of it.
