Verge has another son who went to LSU. I wonder if these guys’ dads made all their decisions for them.

I don’t know enough about Verge to opine. It’s not about him. We fired a well-respected, well-connected AD with a pedigree & replaced him with a nobody with a cloud following him around in the span of a freaking week.

Our worst fears about Woodward firing Kelly, having buyout money secured, and being pushed out over a personal vendetta appear all but confirmed.

It seemed likely at the time, but now there’s no doubt. This was an opportunistic rug pull & there was never any grand plan. Why would there be? We were dealing with BCS Landry.

One question since football is basically out now. Does Jay Johnson like Verge?

The one thing I’m optimistic about is that I don’t think we need to worry about Jay. Let me be clear, I don’t know shite.

I just don’t think we are dumb enough to fix something that ain’t broke with baseball & I don’t see a reason for Jay to ever leave.

Well, we’ll never be able to fire him so I hope he does a good job.

Exactly what LSU needed after the last week - elevating a guy who didn’t report domestic violence to the full time AD role! I’m sure the media will love that.

It will be hard to fire someone that’s survived six coaching regimes and five AD tenures. No doubt the dude has dirt on everyone that was associated with lsu since early 90s.

Good ole boy network is in full swing now.

That’s another bit that really gets to me.
This is entirely self-inflicted.

Woodward was a lifetime lock at AD, likely just witnessed the 1/100 perfect storm scenario where he doesn’t retire at LSU.

Verge isn’t perfect but we could do much much worse than him


Shouldn’t the bar for LSU be just a little higher than “we could do worse”

Verge's (proven) incident did not involve Sharon Lewis.

If you're going to act like a pompous dick head, at least get your lawsuits straight.

but I’ll say this. Firing Scott Woodward to internally promote a guy with baggage, within a week — does not instill confidence that these are serious, competent people following a process or vision.


What if Verge orchestrated this whole thing?

Came for the King and didn’t miss.

Sofa stop being such a puss and posting this shite in every thread. Jay is here for the baseball program and he and Skip have a relationship that can’t be explained. He’s known verge for 4 years. He’ll be fine. Take a midol bro.

This would mean he’s a mad genius & I’d receive it as good news, all considered.

Josh and Lillie were born and raised in Hammond. Josh’s whole family are huge LSU people. I see his sister time to time at games, BUT his 3 boys are his world and they’re thriving in Athens.
