I am kind of wondering how large buyouts are going to work with shared revenue.

He should be fighting for his job this year, but but thanks to Woody negotiating against himself, it's not going to happen.

As much as I was hesitant about Tate, he did a pretty good job. Thinking about who Landry choosing the next one should give all LSU fans stomach acid buildup.

Landry went so far as to meddle in LSU's student government elections this Spring to try to get an additional seat/vote on the BOS (student government president from one of LSU system schools gets a seat [and vote] on the BOS).

Your prediction is premature.
Wait until Wade takes NC State to the sweet 16 in his first season.

Tate was the Kip Holden of University Presidents. The optics weren't good before he took the job but the man did a pretty solid job and didn't bring any of the nonsense people predicted.

Kip was the only dem I ever voted for, and I kinda feel the same about Tate.


Landry will frick this up, Middleton is gonna be renamed the Dudley Debosier Morris Bart library at the McKernan Quad by year's end.

I will admit I hated the Tate Hire and thought he was going to be horrible for LSU. I was very wrong as Tate has been a great president. I hate to see him go but do understand Louisiana politics and the crap he must have to deal with on a daily basis.

Jeff Landry is going to ruin LSU with this choice.

Rumor has it that Landry's top requirement isn’t academic experience… it’s whether they’ll let Mike the Tiger ride shotgun in a Jeep around Tiger Stadium before kickoff.

If you think Tate has been bad for LSU or that LSU is more DEI than when he started, you haven't been paying attention.

Tate has been a good president at LSU.

Landry hates LSU and he's made it clear he wants to bring down LSU and build up USL which is his alma mater.


Not to speak ill of the dead, but didn't Kathleen Blanco and her husband try to do the same thing while she was in office? Only in Louisiana are people stupid enough to not see that having a strong flagship university is good for the state as a whole. No matter what ULL does, it will never be LSU's equal.

Is Rutgers considered a better job?


It’s status as the largest public university close to NYC along with them now being a member of the Big 10, which has more academic cache, would make it attractive to some.

Is he though ? And is that really the barometer?

Several times now Jeff has gone after headlines at the expense of LSU, so I have my doubts he’s going to use his influence on this to bring in the best possible person for the job
