What comes next

The low IQ, bombastic governor of Louisiana who has no loyalty to LSU is orchestrating a power grab of our beloved university.

Next week he will install a stooge as President - a man with limited research experience who is wholly unqualified to lead the flagship university of Louisiana. Shortly thereafter, he will install an unqualified AD who answers directly and solely to him. The coach search this AD leads will be a farce and will likely result in a completely unqualified coach taking the helm. Next year, he will replace four members of the board of supervisors, giving him majority control of the BoS. I don’t know what comes after this, but it’s nothing good.

Those of you who are celebrating the week’s events will probably never admit you were wrong when it all comes crashing down, but you should know that this all could have been avoided. Make better decisions at the ballot box. Just because things seem bad, it’s generally never a good idea to hire the buffoon.

Scott Woodward had his faults. We all acknowledge the Kelly contract was a mistake. But he was a professional who represented our university well and deserved better than this. I too wanted Woodward to go but on more amicable terms. Having seen the alternative to Woodward, I recognize I was wrong.

To borrow a phrase from Hunter S Thompson: the first 20 years of the 21st century will seem like a wild party for rich kids compared to what comes next. The party’s over folks.
