~Welcome aboard Mr. President. Hey we're pretty pressed for time on this head coach search. We need to present some stability. Now that you're on board, we'd like you to go ahead and remove the interim tag from Verge. Great guy, loves LSU, been here 30 years. Hes perfect for the job. Everybody thinks so. Just need your say so


~Uh yeah ok. Well if everybody around here thinks so highly of him and it'll help the coaching search. Hes the permanent AD.


~BTW did you know know Verge was involved in several scandals ans reprimanded without pay?


~well I can't make a good decision in 8 hours. I dont know what interim vs permanent means. We'll evaluate things as we go.

You think a journalist directly quoting someone incorrectly doesn't carry consequences? Yes, she's critical of LSU. No, she doesn't get to tweet that without bearing the consequences if its wrong.

Sounds to me like there’s pushback, and he’s crawfishing.

I’m seriously starting to wonder if this is intentional sabotage.

Throughout the past 2 weeks I have maintained the thought that LSU is making all of these moves with no actual plan and every time somebody puts a microphone in front of them they continue to prove it... It's incredible

Where is everyone who was slobbing this Rousse guy’s knob yesterday? Seems like a total knobhead.

Yep. Does anybody know the details of Verge's contract? Has he been promoted but under the same contract he was previously under? One would assume a removal of the interim tag would come with a pay increase, but I pray for our own sake that he is still under his assistant AD contract and we have the ability to cut bait quickly if he screws this up.

He does not have a new contract. All of that stuff has to go through the BOS.

Historically, hiring or firing an AD requires Board of Supervisors vote/approval of contract. The President would have to make a recommendation to the Board. I thought this must have happened at yesterdays meeting for Rouse to be saying the interim tag was removed.

You and a few of your buddies suck and swallow Landry's cock so hard that you'll shift the goalposts for everything he and his yes-men do.

So what's the implication here? Did Piper make up the quote? Did she force Rousse to say it at gunpoint? Or are you just upset that she had the audacity to publish *checks notes* the words Rousse said?

People at lsu are continually proving they dont know what they are doing and have no plan. How can anyone have confidence based on quotes like this?

At some point, the embarrassment has to stop right?

We just hired a president who doesn't know what "interim" means?

He's pretty much confirming what we already know. He was told to do this and it was set into motion already. Just shows you how incompetent that admin really is.
he is a puppet. He doesn’t have the chops to lead a school such as LSU. His time at McNeese was nothing to write home about. 15 years ago they had 9k enrolled thus year like 6.5k. He has been there since 2019. He should’ve never made a short list much less be hired.

It’s a bad look without question and unnecessary comments….

Im just trying to guess here… but what I maybe think he was thinking and shouldn’t have tried to say out loud…. “yeah, to me this is common sense. Verge is our AD until he’s not. Interim/Permanent are irrelevant/unnecessary terms to me in this context… He’s our AD until he’s not, just like anyone in any other position.”

No matter how you slice it, comments were unnecessary/ambiguous/unclear and shouldn’t have been made.

I think the gov said we needed staff more in line with our culture..

Guess he was referring to to crawfish
