I am speaking as a conservative. Landry wanted Tate and Woodward gone. They are both gone. He replaced them with Rousse and Verge. Let’s sit back and see how this all works out. It was a political power play. I think this happens in other states, but it’s not so out in the open thanks to Landry.

Ironically, this is the issue with the president & AD.

If you’ve been paying attention you would realize people aren’t simply reacting to names.

Not convinced the HC search won’t be limited to a 200 mile radius.

I believe Verge was hired because he is a company man. LSU did absolutely zero search for an AD. I mean nothing. LOL, no they picked the puppet they can control. That is why he is in charge. They didn’t go look for a strong AD with a lot of experience.


How is this not patently obvious to everyone?

I do believe Verge won’t be making this hire. He will be steered in the direction they want him to go. He is just a puppet

I was just pointing out that you are a democratic shrill. And your kind will not miss a single opportunity to shite on any person with an R attached to their name. Thus, nothing you say can be taken seriously.

That doesnt matter, but on my kids lives, ive never voted democrat, but sure, you have me all figured out

To be fair, he was a raging idiot before this. He crossed that line a few months back.

May it be okay? Sure.

But i dont blame anyone for trashing this move considering we just fired a qualified AD with local ties and a 6m buyout ….for his lifer deputy that has been passed over 2-3 times for the job already with baggage. Think about that.


This is where I am. I wasn’t heartbroken that Woodward was let go. But you did so to hire his deputy who, presumably was part of the same decision making process you didn’t like, less than a week later? Without even conducting as much as a sham “search”?

The rant was going to be pissed regardless unless LSU announced Nick Saban as the president, the AD, and the head coach.

The good news about Verge taking over is that we will likely be able to retain Jay Johnson. An outsider as AD usually means eventually they bring in their own people, that is just the way it works.

I've met Verge several times, he is well qualified to handle the coaches. What I don't know is if he can make it rain money the way Scott could.

The previous AD signed our last coach to a 10 year contract with a $50 million buyout who, by the end of it, was:

- Getting dominated by vandy and a&m
- Not even going through game situations in practice
- Not talking to recruits directly
- Keeping an OC around who was in way over his head
- Berating local reporters for questioning the unit that was performing poorly because he kept said coach around



Verge will have to try to frick it up that bad again. It is possible? Sure.

Is it likely? I’d say no.

I mean, when incompetent and unqualified people get hired, it says a lot about the people in charge. Ironically, Verge is a straight perfect example of how DEI goes wrong by promoting his arse after he should have been fired years ago.

Instead, he gets the DEI promotion and reinforces exactly why people are hating the idea of diversity.
